    摘要: A method is disclosed for reducing impact forces to legged robots as a result of traversing a terrain. The method includes employing actuators and compliant elements to use the contact of a first portion of a foot assembly with a terrain during a step to reduce the vertical velocity of a subsequent portion of the foot assembly so that the vertical velocity of the subsequent portion as it touches the terrain is substantially zero relative to the terrain. Foot assemblies that employ these methods are also provided.

    摘要: A bush for a vehicle includes: an inner cylindrical member; a substantially cylindrical rubber member provided outside the inner cylindrical member; and a substantially cylindrical metal spring member inserted between the inner cylindrical member and the rubber member. A gap portion for allowing the metal spring member to be elastically deformed in a radial direction of the metal spring member is provided between the inner cylindrical member and the metal spring member. The bush for a vehicle works such that when impact force belonging to a relatively low vibration frequency area or impact force resultantly accompanied with great displacement is inputted into the bush for a vehicle, mainly the rubber member absorbs vibrations; and when impact force belonging to a relatively high vibration frequency area is inputted into the bush for a vehicle, mainly the metal spring member absorbs vibrations.

    摘要: An agricultural implement includes a first central implement section. At least one second implement section is positioned on each of two sides of the first implement section. Adjacent implement sections are each displaceable relative to one another about a pivot axis in order to displace the implement between a transport position and a working position. Each implement section comprises mowing mechanisms, conveying mechanisms or both. A hat-like conveying element made from an elastically deformable material is positioned on at least one of the mowing mechanisms, on at least one of the conveying mechanisms or both.

    摘要: A vibration absorbing apparatus is provided which includes a vibration absorbing mechanism equipped with a spring mechanism and an elastic member. The elastic member is made of a non-metallic material and of a cylindrical shape. The elastic member is arranged coaxially with the spring mechanism and has a spring constant in a radial direction thereof which is lower than that in an axial direction thereof. The spring mechanism works to absorb vibration applied thereto in the axial direction thereof. The elastic member works to absorb vibration applied thereto in the radial direction thereof.

    摘要: A canted coil spring assembly is disclosed having a plurality of coils and a filler material placed within the coils and in the direction of a centerline that goes through the coils. The plurality of coils have a loading direction that is generally perpendicular to a tangent of the centerline of the coils wherein a load is applied in such direction and causes the coils to deflect generally independently of adjacent coils.
