Abstract
A motion snubbing device in which an inertia mass is rotatably mounted on a rotary shaft through a slide bearing and opposite to a flexible member fixed to the rotary shaft. The shaft rotates in accordance with the relative reciprocating movement of paired strut members. The inertia mass and the flexible member are coupled by an acceleration-responsive coupling means comprising balls and recesses provided between them. The inertia mass is continuously and elastically urged in an axial direction by a spring member secured to the rotary shaft. The urging force of the spring member is adjustable by a spring mounting member screwed into the rotary shaft.
