Abstract
Abstract An antivibration mounting comprises two or more part-annular housing members which have a lining of vibration damping metallic material. A hinge-connection is formed between two adjacent members by welding them to the lining. The hinge may be opened to receive a pipe and then closed around the pipe by a resilient clip.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
An antivibration mounting comprising: two housing members, vibration damping material disposed within and secured to said two housing members to form a hinge connection therebetween, each of said two housing members being formed with an external groove, and a resilient clip received in the said grooves to maintain said two housing members and said vibration damping material in a desired configuration.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
61 words
An antivibration mounting comprising: two housing members, vibration damping material disposed within and secured to said two housing members to form a hinge connection therebetween, each of said two housing members being formed with an external groove, and a resilient clip received in the said grooves to maintain said two housing members and said vibration damping material in a desired configuration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
Mounting as claimed in claim 1 wherein said vibration damping material is a woven metallic pad.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
Mounting as claimed in claim 2 wherein said pad is welded to each said member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
Mounting as claimed in claim 1 wherein the said at least two members are provided with oblique faces.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
78 words
An antivibration mounting comprising: at least three housing members, vibration damping material disposed within and secured to said at least three housing members to form a hinge connection between adjacent ones of said at least three housing members, each of said at least three housing members being formed with an external groove, and a resilient clip received in the said grooves to maintain said at least three housing members and said vibration damping material in a desired configuration.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
78 words
An antivibration mounting comprising: at least three housing members, vibration damping material disposed within and secured to said at least three housing members to form a hinge connection between adjacent ones of said at least three housing members, each of said at least three housing members being formed with an external groove, and a resilient clip received in the said grooves to maintain said at least three housing members and said vibration damping material in a desired configuration.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
89 words
An antivibration mounting for securing a pipe comprising: at least two part-annular housing members, vibration damping material disposed within and secured to said housing members to form an openable substantially annular band with adjacent ones of said housing members being hingedly connected, each of said housing members being formed with an external groove, and a resilient clip which, in use when the pipe is embraced by the said antivibration pipe mounting, is received in said grooves and is securable to permit the pipe to be supported in a position.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
89 words
An antivibration mounting for securing a pipe comprising: at least two part-annular housing members, vibration damping material disposed within and secured to said housing members to form an openable substantially annular band with adjacent ones of said housing members being hingedly connected, each of said housing members being formed with an external groove, and a resilient clip which, in use when the pipe is embraced by the said antivibration pipe mounting, is received in said grooves and is securable to permit the pipe to be supported in a position.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
108 words
An antivibration mounting for supporting an object having a particular configuration comprising: at least two substantially rigid housing members, a vibration damping pad disposed within and welded to said housing members to form a hinged connection therebetween, said vibration damping pad and said housing members defining a closable band having a configuration similar to the configuration of the object to be supported, each of said housing members having an external groove, and a resilient clip received in each groove to maintain the band about the object with the pad applying continuing damping engagement with the object, said resilient clip being securable to permit the object to be supported.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
108 words
An antivibration mounting for supporting an object having a particular configuration comprising: at least two substantially rigid housing members, a vibration damping pad disposed within and welded to said housing members to form a hinged connection therebetween, said vibration damping pad and said housing members defining a closable band having a configuration similar to the configuration of the object to be supported, each of said housing members having an external groove, and a resilient clip received in each groove to maintain the band about the object with the pad applying continuing damping engagement with the object, said resilient clip being securable to permit the object to be supported.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
40 words
An antivibration mounting as claimed in claim 7 in which said resilient clip comprises a first part embracing part of the grooves in said housing members, and a second part embracing another part of said grooves of said housing member.
