ABSTRACT:
A vibration attenuating member includes at least a first layer composed of a viscoelastic material having a Shore 00 durometer of less than 50 and a rebound percentage of less than 20. Preferably the vibration dampener also includes second and third layers, coterminous with the first layer, which are composed of a foam material. The viscoelastic layer may have a non-uniform shape, such as precurved, tapered, or the like. The viscoelastic material may be creased to facilitate bending. The member has a transmissibility no greater than 1.0 in the range of from 31.5 to 200 Hz, and a transmissibility of no more than 0.6 in the range of from 200 Hz to 1250 Hz. The vibration attenuating member may form a glove, a glove liner, a portion of a glove liner, a portion of a glove, a sports glove, a wrap for a tool, or be used in some other application where vibration attenuation is desirable.
