Universal Support And Vibration Isolator
US Patent:
2002010, Aug 8, 2002
Filed:
Nov 10, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/007312
Inventors:
John Cunningham - Saratoga Springs NY, US
Robert Roemer - Bolton MA, US
Robert Roemer - Bolton MA, US
International Classification:
F16L003/00
US Classification:
248/049000, 248/560000
Abstract:
A pipe support is provided that includes a frame capable of being placed around an existing pipe and a plurality of support members within the frame. The frame is a hollow cylinder that includes two connectable halves divided along the diameter of the hollow cylinder. The pipe support includes two bearing rings connected to the frame for supporting each of the plurality of members at a minimum of two contact points. Each of the two bearing rings include bearing points for each support member arranged in a cylindrical pattern concentric with the hollow cylinder frame. The pipe support includes means for rotating each of the support members at a first contact point with respect to a second contact point so that the support members engage a pipe placed within the pipe support. The support members are rods that provide vibration isolation to a pipe placed within the pipe support.

Variable Stiffness Flexible Joint
US Patent:
7497781, Mar 3, 2009
Filed:
Nov 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/280944
Inventors:
John Cunningham - Saratoga Springs NY, US
Robert E. Roemer - Bolton MA, US

Assignee:
Seicon, Ltd. - Columbus OH
International Classification:
F16D 3/58
US Classification:
464 86, 464137
Abstract:
A structure that positions rotating shafts and allows continuing transmission of rotary motion between shafts or shaft segments that are not aligned with one another or that may from time to time become misaligned. The invention reduces the undesirable effect of torque or torsional transients on rotary positioning and continued transmission of rotary motion, as well as reducing vibration resulting from linear or other angular displacement on either side of the joint. The structure comprises opposing outer and inner plates, each engaging a corresponding shaft or shaft segment. The plates define a plurality of holes that support flexible members. The flexible members extend through the plates on adjacent shafts or shaft segments around the shaft ends. Torque may be transmitted from one shaft to another by the flexible members.
Vibration Isolator With Adjustable Response
US Patent:
7086509, Aug 8, 2006
Filed:
Mar 14, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/097454
Inventors:
John Cunningham - Saratoga Springs NY, US
Robert E. Roemer - Bolton MA, US
Robert E. Roemer - Bolton MA, US
International Classification:
F16F 7/10
US Classification:
188378, 267136, 26714011
Abstract:
A vibration isolator with an adjustable response. A vibration isolator for isolating a vibration source from a support structure include a base in engagement with the support structure and two supports connected to the base. At least one of the supports is slidably connected to the base. A flexible member having a generally elongate shape and an elongate length is supported by the two supports. The flexible member is attachable to the vibration source. Each support slidably engages the flexible member such that the flexible member can move relative to each support with the support that is slidably connected to the base being moveable along the elongate length of the flexible member.
Frictional Shock Absorber Enclosed Within A Housing
US Patent:
4901829, Feb 20, 1990
Filed:
Mar 17, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/169325

Assignee:
Stone & Webster Engineering Corp. - Boston MA
International Classification:
F16F 1100, B60T 712, F16L 300
US Classification:
188381
Abstract:
A shock absorbing device having an axial friction brake for the minimization of dynamic motion while allowing motion, seen as especially useful as an alternative to, or in the replacement of, snubber devices. The shock absorbing device has a movable shaft which is attached to the object to be supported during dynamic motion at one end and a frictional surface which contacts a brake assembly at the other. The brake assembly is located within a housing, which is directly or indirectly attached to a nonmovable support, and is provided with one or more friction pads which contact the frictional surface. The brake assembly may be adjustable for varying load amplitude.
