Abstract

A shock and vibration mount includes a resilient elastomeric member arranged to act with two spaced spring units, each of which includes a group of stacked, disc-shaped annular springs. Low level impacts and vibrations are transmitted from a rod, that is movable with the impacted member or with a member reacting to an impact, to the elastomeric member through either of the stacked units, high intensity shocks being attenuated first by the elastomeric member and then by one of the stacked units.
