ABSTRACT:
An isolator (26) and assembly method therefor. The isolator (26) is particularly useful for aircraft thrust reverser doors, and the like, and includes an outer member (28), and a isolator component (29). The outer member (28) has a central axis (A--A), a generally non-planar inner peripheral surface (32), and first and second axially extending slotted entryways (48, 48'). The isolator component (29) preferably includes a component axis (B--B), an inner member (30) having an external radial peripheral surface (33), and an elastomer or metal mesh member (40) surrounding said external radial peripheral surface (33). The isolator component (29) is assembled and retained within said outer member (28) by insertion endwise through said first and second slotted entryways (48, 48'), and rotating 90.degree. such that the component axis (B--B) is substantially aligned with the central axis (A--A).
