Connecting rod for a piston of a compressor

Abstract

A connecting rod for a piston of a compressor for a double piston has a portion supportable by a connecting rod bearing on an eccentric of a drive device, a coupling point at a distance from the portion for connecting with the piston, and at least one vibration damping device which in a course of the connecting rod is arranged between the connecting rod bearing and the coupling point.

What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims.  
     
         1 . A connecting rod for a piston of a compressor for a double piston, comprising a portion supportable by a connecting rod bearing on an eccentric of a drive device, a coupling point provided at a distance from said portion for connecting with the piston; and at least one vibration damping device which in a course of the connecting rod is arranged between the connecting rod bearing and said coupling point.  
     
     
         2 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said vibration damping device is arranged in a region of said coupling point.  
     
     
         3 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said vibration damping device is arranged in said region of said coupling point and in a region of a bearing in said coupling point.  
     
     
         4 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said vibration damping device is arranged in a region of the connecting rod bearing.  
     
     
         5 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said vibration damping device is formed as a vibration damping bearing receptacle.  
     
     
         6 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 5 , wherein said vibration damping bearing receptacle is formed as a vibration damping layer.  
     
     
         7 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 6 , wherein said vibration damping layer of said bearing receptacle is formed elastically.  
     
     
         8 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 7 , wherein said vibration damping layer of said bearing receptacle is composed of a material selected from the group consisting of rubber and synthetic rubber.  
     
     
         9 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 8 , wherein said vibration damping layer has a hardness of substantially 80° shore A.  
     
     
         10 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 5 , wherein said vibration damping bearing receptacle is composed of a vibration damping layer.  
     
     
         11 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 5 , wherein said vibration damping bearing receptacle has a rubber spring.  
     
     
         12 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 11 , wherein said rubber spring has two concentric rings composed of metal and a ring-shaped rubber layer provided between said rings.  
     
     
         13 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 12 , wherein said ring-shaped rubber layer is formed as a vulcanized layer.  
     
     
         14 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 6 , wherein said vibration damping layer is formed so that in a peripheral direction it has a greater elasticity than in a radial direction.  
     
     
         15 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 14 , wherein said vibration damping layer is formed so that it is relatively rigid in said radial direction.  
     
     
         16 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said connecting rod bearing is embedded in said connecting rod by means of a vibration damping bearing receptacle.  
     
     
         17 . A connecting rod as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said bearing of said coupling point is embedded by means of a vibration damping bearing receptacle in a component selected from the group consisting of a connecting rod and a part of the piston.
