Abstract

A vibration absorbing material preferably includes a first elastomeric layer of vibration absorbing material which is substantially free of voids therein. A second layer including a hight tensile fibrous material and that is disposed on the first elastomeric layer. The high tensile strength fibrous material distributes vibration to facilitate vibration dampening. A third elastomeric layer is disposed on the second elastomeric layer.

Claims (51)

1. A vibration absorbing material, comprising:

a first elastomeric layer of vibration absorbing material which is substantially free of voids therein;

a second layer including fiberglass material and that is disposed on the first elastomeric layer, wherein the fiberglass material distributes vibration to facilitate vibration dampening, wherein the fiberglass material forms a substantially imperforate sheet; and

a third elastomeric layer disposed on the second elastomeric layer.

2. The material of claim 1 , wherein the first elastomeric layer is formed of a gel.

3. The material of claim 1 , wherein the first elastomeric layer is formed by a silicone gel.

4. The material of claim 2 , wherein the third elastomeric layer is formed of a gel.

5. The material of claim 3 , wherein the third elastomeric layer is formed by a silicone gel.

6. A vibration absorbing material, comprising:

a first elastomeric layer of vibration absorbing material which is substantially non-pourous;

a second layer including a fiberglass material and that is disposed on the first elastomeric layer, wherein the fiberglass material distributes vibration to facilitate vibration dampening, wherein the fiberglass material forms a plurality of individual strips that are generally coaligned within a common plane that extends generally throughout the second layer; and

a third elastomeric layer disposed on the second elastomeric layer.

7. The material of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of individual strips are generally parallel to each other.

8. The material of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of individual strips are generally equally sized.

9. The material of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of individual strips are generally differently sized.

10. The material of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the first and third layers are formed of a gel.

11. The material of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the first and third elastomeric layers are formed by a silicone gel.

12. A vibration absorbing material, comprising:

a first elastomeric layer of vibration absorbing material which is substantially free of voids therein;

a second layer including high tensile strength fibrous material and that is disposed on the first elastomeric layer, wherein the high tensile strength fibrous material distributes vibration to facilitate vibration dampening, wherein the high tensile strength fibrous material forms a substantially imperforate sheet; and

a third elastomeric layer disposed on the second elastomeric layer.

13. The material of claim 12 , wherein the first elastomeric layer is formed of a gel.

14. The material of claim 12 , wherein the first elastomeric layer is formed by a silicone gel.

15. The material of claim 12 , wherein the third elastomeric layer is formed of a gel.

16. The material of claim 12 , wherein the third elastomeric layer is formed by a silicone gel.

17. A vibration absorbing material, comprising:

a first elastomeric layer of vibration absorbing material which is substantially non-pourous;

a second layer including a high tensile strength fibrous material and that is disposed on the first elastomeric layer, wherein the high tensile strength fibrous material distributes vibration to facilitate vibration dampening, wherein the high tensile strength fibrous material forms a plurality of individual strips that are generally coaligned within a common plane generally throughout the second layer; and

a third elastomeric layer disposed on the second elastomeric layer.

18. The material of claim 17 , wherein the plurality of individual strips are generally parallel to each other.

19. The material of claim 18 , wherein the plurality of individual strips are generally equally sized.

20. The material of claim 18 , wherein the plurality of individual strips are generally differently sized.

21. The material of claim 17 , wherein at least one of the first and third layers are formed of a gel.

22. The material of claim 17 , wherein at least one of the first and third elastomeric layers are formed by a silicone gel.

23. A vibration absorbing material, comprising:

a first elastomeric layer of vibration absorbing material which is substantially non porous;

a second layer including an aramid material and that is disposed on the first elastomeric layer, wherein the aramid material generally distributes vibration to facilitate vibration dampening, wherein the aramid material forms a substantially imperforate sheet; and

a third elastomeric layer disposed on the second elastomeric layer.

24. The material of claim 23 , wherein the first elastomeric layer is formed of a gel.

25. The material of claim 23 , wherein the first elastomeric layer is formed by a silicone gel.
