Abstract

Vibration damper for damping vibrations in a surface (20) of an object (21). The damper consists of an oscillating body (1) which is movably connected to the surface such that it is brought to oscillate so that the oscillating body transmits forces to the object which are principally oppositely directed to the forces which, through vibration, act on the object. The vibration damper displays a locating part (19) made from a shaped permanent material and intended to be fixedly attached to said surface (20) of the object (21). The locating part displays one or several inwardly-directed vibration-transmitting support walls (26-29). The oscillating body (1) is at least partially enclosed in a damping body (10) made from an elastic material, and the damping body is held in the locating part through cooperation with the inwardly directed walls (26-29).
