FORE-AFT VIBRATION ISOLATOR
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system that facilitates vibratory dampening, comprising:
- a connector block configured to fixedly connect to a cross-member, wherein the cross-member is in communication with a seat assembly; and
a pair of compression mechanisms, each of the compression mechanisms having an inner and an outer end, wherein the inner end of each of the compression members is attached to opposite ends of the connector block, and wherein the connector block and the pair of compression mechanisms are configured to dampen linear vibration upon being installed within a channel of a seat mounting frame.

Abstract
A vehicle seating system includes a top frame for mounting to a vehicle seat. The top frame has integral rails or channels with roller tracks at one end and vibration dampening systems at the other. An opposing pair of the roller tracks includes a vibratory dampening or regulation system that controls the amount of fore and aft travel of the top frame.

11. A system that dampens fore-aft vibrations, comprising:
-
means for attaching a seat assembly to a platform, wherein the platform includes at least one cross-member that traverses a width of the platform, and wherein the cross-member traverses in a linear direction within a track; and means for employing a coil assembly that dampens fore-aft vibrations transferring into the platform, wherein the coil assembly is fixedly attached to the cross-member. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for controlling fore-aft vibrations in a seat assembly, comprising:
-
positioning a connector block in a channel of a seat mounting frame; positioning a pair of spring mechanisms within the channel, wherein one spring mechanism is attached to one side of the connector block and the other spring mechanism is attached to the other side of the connector block; attaching the connector block to a cross-member that moves in synchronization with the seat assembly on a parallel plane with the channel; and dampening the fore-aft vibrations via compensation of the pair of spring mechanisms. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
