Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
Apparatus for damping vibrations in a structure (22) comprising a first body (24), a layer of adherent viscoelastic material (29) and at least one second body (30), said first body being a generally U-shaped body having a web portion (25) and two spacing flanges (26,27) extending therefrom, said flanges (26,27) being adapted to space said web portion (25) from said structure (22), characterized by said viscoelastic material being applied to the surface (28) of said web portion (25) intended to face said structure; said second body (30) being a generally thread or rod shaped body adherently partially embedded in said viscoelastic material; and fastening means (31,32;13;36,37) being provided to fasten said first body to a structure such that vibrations of the structure are transmitted to said first body (24).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
Apparatus for damping vibrations in a structure (22) comprising a first body (24), a layer of adherent viscoelastic material (29) and at least one second body (30), said first body being a generally U-shaped body having a web portion (25) and two spacing flanges (26,27) extending therefrom, said flanges (26,27) being adapted to space said web portion (25) from said structure (22), characterized by said viscoelastic material being applied to the surface (28) of said web portion (25) intended to face said structure; said second body (30) being a generally thread or rod shaped body adherently partially embedded in said viscoelastic material; and fastening means (31,32;13;36,37) being provided to fasten said first body to a structure such that vibrations of the structure are transmitted to said first body (24).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that said first body (24) substantially has the shape of an open box (25,26,27;48,49).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that said second body comprises a plurality of substantially parallel bodies (30).
