Patent

CA 2444342

An elastomeric bushing for vehicular and non-vehicular applications includes a generally cylindrical body having spaced apart end faces, an axial passageway extending through the body and the end faces, and at least one elongate void formed in a body side and located radially outward from the axial passageway. The void includes opposite lobe end portions, each configured having an elongate major axis and a shorter minor axis. The major axes of the lobe portions are canted in opposite directions away from an imaginary vertical plane therebetween. The void further includes a connective portion between the lobe portions, the connective portion having a concave shape in a radially inward direction that defines a radially outward protruding boss. The shape and location of the lobe portions and the boss protrusion are variable to provide combined optimization of the bushing performance among spring rates, articulation durability, and load capacity.
