Multi-mode vibration absorbing device for implements
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A multi-mode vibration absorbing device for an implement comprising:
- a viscoelastic base member having a body which is generally rectangular in shape and has an outer surface conforming to an interior surface of a handle of the implement;
said base member including a projection extending outwardly to divide said base member into a first side and a second side and having an aperture extending through said projection;
a mass extending through said aperture and cantilevered relative to the base member, said device being tuned such that it vibrates at the same set of frequencies as the implement but out of phase therewith to reduce multiple modes of frequency vibrations in the implement.

Abstract
A multi-mode vibration absorbing device for implements includes a base member and a mass mounted to the base member and cantilevered relative thereto. The multi-mode vibration absorbing device is tuned such that it vibrates at the same frequency as the implement but out of phase therewith.
