Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
209 words
A shock absorber mounting assembly including a housing having mounting means at each end, at least one of said mounting means comprising an apertured cylindrical knuckle extending perpendicular to the axis of the housing from its end of the housing for mounting said housing between the structures which are to be shock insulated from each other, wherein the improvement in said assembly comprises in combination: a rigid offset bar-pin having a substantially cylindrical first portion the centerline of which is located in a first plane and a second flanged portion located in a second plane spaced from said first plane, said bar-pin being reversibly associated with said cylindrical knuckle such that said portions may be selectively positioned depending upon the distance between the structures in either one or the other of at least two positions in which one of said portions is between said housing and the other of said portions in said one position and said positions are reversed in said other of the positions, fastening means for fastening said second flanged portion to one of the structures when said portions are in either of said positions, and attaching means for attaching said cylindrical portion to said cylindrical knuckle when said portions are in either of said positions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
209 words
A shock absorber mounting assembly including a housing having mounting means at each end, at least one of said mounting means comprising an apertured cylindrical knuckle extending perpendicular to the axis of the housing from its end of the housing for mounting said housing between the structures which are to be shock insulated from each other, wherein the improvement in said assembly comprises in combination: a rigid offset bar-pin having a substantially cylindrical first portion the centerline of which is located in a first plane and a second flanged portion located in a second plane spaced from said first plane, said bar-pin being reversibly associated with said cylindrical knuckle such that said portions may be selectively positioned depending upon the distance between the structures in either one or the other of at least two positions in which one of said portions is between said housing and the other of said portions in said one position and said positions are reversed in said other of the positions, fastening means for fastening said second flanged portion to one of the structures when said portions are in either of said positions, and attaching means for attaching said cylindrical portion to said cylindrical knuckle when said portions are in either of said positions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The assembly of claim 1 wherein said cylindrical portion is received in the aperture of said cylindrical knuckle and said attaching means attaches said cylindrical portion in said aperture.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The assembly of claim 1 wherein said second flanged portion comprises flanges at each end of and extending substantially parallel to said cylindrical portion, said cylindrical portion forming the intermediate portion of said offset bar-pin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
82 words
The assembly of claim 1 wherein the centerline of said cylindrical portion is positioned between said flanged portion and the end of the housing when the distance between the structures which are to be insulated from each other is a given distance and wherein said flanged portion is positioned between the centerline of said cylindrical portion and the end of the housing when the distance between the structures which are to be insulated from each other is less than said given distance.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
55 words
The assembly of claim 1 wherein said fastening means includes a pair of fixed studs spaced from each other and carried by said one structure, and a pair of flat portions each having elongated spaced apertures, said elongated apertures receiving each of said fixed studs, independently of the spacing of the studs from each other.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The assembly of claim 1 wherein said mounting means comprises a cylindrical knuckle extending from each end of the housing.
