Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A device for shock mounting an object comprising a shock mount body, a resilient bumper seated in said body, an object support pad, an air-impervious diaphragm attached to said support pad and sealingly attached to said body, said bumper having a small cavity therein, a reservoir cavity in said body, means including an orifice connecting the two cavities, whereby at sea level said support pad and diaphragm rest on said bumper, and at high altitudes on the resulting air cushion.
