Abstract

The isolator comprises a base 2 and a shell 3 connected to but extending from the base 2. The shell 3 has an opening 15 substantially opposite the base 2. Support structures are provided, such as a connecting arm 27 with one end positioned inside the shell 3. The connecting arm 27 has means on the outside of the shell that allow the connecting arm 27 to connect to a structure when in use. Multiple links 45 are also provided, each link 45 pivotally connected to the shell 3 at one end or near one end and pivotally connected to the connecting arm 27 at the other end or near the other end. The connection between each link 45 and the connecting arm 27 is closer to the base 2 than the connection between each link 45 and the shell 3, and each link 45 has an arm 46 having two openings 47.

Description

This invention relates particularly to isolators and/or links used, but not limited to, for isolating vibrations generated in sound speaker systems such as Hi-Fi speakers. Throughout this specification, variations of the word "comprise," "comprises," and "comprising" may be used. When used, these words imply the inclusion of the elements, completes, or steps described, and not the exclusion of any other elements, completes, or steps, or any group of elements, completes, or steps. Any description of documents, actions, materials, devices, articles, etc., contained herein existed prior to the priority date of the application to which this specification pertains; therefore, it should not be construed as acknowledging that any part or all of these matters constitute prior art or are common knowledge in the art related to this disclosure. In sound speaker systems such as Hi-Fi systems, when the speaker (soundbox, etc.) begins to play music or other sounds, various vibrational movements, including horizontal vibrations, begin due to the movement of the speaker driver. These movements generate vibrations and resonances in the surface material of the speaker cabinet, as well as vertical vibrations reflected between the speaker and the support surface on which it is mounted. The combination of these vibrations results in substantial distortion to the objective of a Hi-Fi system, namely, the purity of sound. Similar problems can occur in other situations. This is disadvantageous. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an isolator and/or link that eliminates or minimizes the above-mentioned disadvantages, or at least provides a useful option for the public. Therefore, in a first embodiment, the present invention relates to a link comprising an arm having a first recess or opening and a second recess or opening, wherein the first recess or opening receives a first bearing, and the second recess or opening receives a second bearing, and each bearing has mounting means such that the first bearing can be attached to the first structure and the second bearing can be attached to the second structure during use, so as to enable the movement of one structure substantially independently of the other structure over at least a certain distance, the recess or opening has an inward-facing surface, the bearing has an outward-facing surface, and the inward-facing surface of the recess or opening and the outward-facing surface of the bearing are substantially arc-shaped. Preferably, the radius of curvature of each arcuate surface is approximately the same. In another embodiment, the present invention relates to an isolator comprising a base and a shell extending from the base, the shell having an opening substantially opposite the base, a connecting arm with one end positioned within the shell and having means therefor to enable connection to a structure, and a plurality of links, each pivotally connected to the shell at one end or near one end and pivotally connected to the connecting arm at the other end or near the other end, wherein the connection between each link and the connecting arm is closer to the base than the connection between each link and the shell. Preferably, the connection point between each link and the shell is adjacent to the opening in the shell. Preferably, the connection between the link and the shell, and the connection between each link and the connecting arm, allow for pivotal movement of the link in the plane and rotational movement of the link around its axis. Preferably, three links are provided at approximately equal distances from the shell. Preferably, the base is connected to the shell in a manner that allows for adjustment between the base and the shell. Preferably, the connecting arm extends outward through the opening in the shell. In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to an isolator described in any one of the preceding paragraphs, mounted between a sound speaker and a support surface. The scope of the present invention is claimed herein in the claims, but where a specific complete entity having well-known equivalents in the art to which the present invention relates is referred to and/or claimed, such well-known equivalents shall be deemed to be incorporated and/or claimed herein as individually described.
