Patent ID: 8226065

Claim:
A shock absorbing system, said shock absorbing system comprising: i. a support system comprising: ii. a first square hollow housing having four internal corners therein, each of the four internal corners containing therein, an elongated strip of elongated elastomeric material, said first square hollow housing having a cross sectional center point; iii. a torsion bar, said torsion bar having a hollow square configuration, said torsion bar having the outside dimension lesser than an inside dimension of the first square hollow housing, said torsion bar insertable at a cross sectional center point of the first square hollow housing and between the elongated strip of elongated elastomeric material; said torsion bar having an L-shaped configuration near the point of insertion in the first square hollow housing, said torsion bar extendable to a V-shaped configuration, iv. there being a branch bar joined to the torsion bar at about a midpoint between the point of insertion and the bottom of the V-shaped configuration, said torsion bar further extending to a top bar, a pair of termination ends of the top bar and the branch bar being approximately the same distance from an attachment to the torsion bar; each of the top bar and branch bar having a second hollow square configuration providing four internal corners; each of the top bar and the branch bar having v. four elongated elastomeric strips located therein, one strip being located in each corner thereof; vi. there being a square shaft inserted in terminal ends of the top bar and the branch bar between the elongated elastomeric strips, each square shaft being fixedly attached to one near end of each of the two spaced apart support bars, each having a distal end; the distal end of each support bar being rotatably attached to a support means for an article.
