<p>A support system (1) for substantially isolating an object (100) from abrupt movement of a foundation. The support system has a frame (3) operatively attached to the foundation and a cradle (11) for supporting the object. The support system also has a horizontal isolation component (5) and a vertical isolation component (7). The horizontal isolation component is configured to allow movement of the frame relative to the foundation and dampen movement of the object in a horizontal direction during abrupt movement of the foundation. The vertical isolation component is operatively connected between the frame and the cradle. The vertical isolation component is configured to allow movement of the cradle relative to the frame in a vertical direction and dampen movement of the object in a vertical direction during abrupt movement of the foundation. The horizontal isolation component and the vertical isolation component are arranged such that dampening of movement of the object in one of the horizontal and vertical directions is uncoupled from the dampening of movement of the object in the other of the horizontal or vertical directions.</p> |
