2118. Rubber pad or buffer.

2119. Cushion tyrefor road wheels.

2120. Cushion tyre, pneumatic.The resistance in this tyre is increased by compression of the enclosed air by a portable pump.

Duplex pumpsare cushioned at each end of the stroke by trapping part of the exhaust steam by the piston closing the port.

Air vesselsare used to cushion the action of a pump, both on the delivery and suction.

2121. A spring pistonis used for the same purpose.

Pads or cushions of rubber,felt, leather, &c., are used as buffers to cushion blows.

Shaw & Spiegle’s steam towing machineprovides an elastic steam cushion which yields to prevent overstraining the cable, the engine then running backwards under the strain, but winds up again as the strain goes off, thus paying in and out to suit the motion of the vessel.
