Abstract
A fixed base is formed at its upper surface with a recess portion, and a bottom surface of said recess portion is normally formed into a plane. A movable plate is disposed in the recess portion of said fixed base with a moving region left therein. Spacers are projectingly embedded in the lower surface of said movable plate, and a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the recess portion of the fixed base and the lower surface of the movable plate, said gap being filled with a viscous material. A pipe is disposed on the movable plate through a support base. The vibration of the pipe is transmitted to the movable plate to produce a relative motion between two surfaces, one being the lower surface of the movable plate and the other being the bottom surface of the recess portion of the fixed base. The viscous shearing resistance of the viscous material resulting from said motion displays an excellent vibration-absorbing action.
