<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an impact/vibration absorbing means by which when an earthquake occurs or an excessive impact or vibration is applied, the violent fall of business equipment itself can be prevented, and also the acceleration to be applied to the interior of the office equipment can be reduced for preventing the damage of the interior of office equipment and the coming-out of the inside units, so that the opening of doors or the like can be prevented. SOLUTION: In an impact/vibration absorbing means for absorbing the impact or vibration to be applied to a copying machine (office equipment) 41 that has a plurality of castors 42 and adjustors 44, friction plates (sliding means) 3 that are fixed to the respective undersurfaces of castors 42 and each of which has a specified frictional coefficient are arranged between the base plates 2 fixed to the installation floor surface 49 of the copying machine 41 and the respective undersurfaces of the castors. Thus, since the energy out of impact/vibration energy that has not been absorbed by the conventional impact/vibration absorbing means can be absorbed by the sliding of the friction plates 3, when an earthquake occurs or excessive impact or vibration is applied, the violent fall of a copying machine 41 itself can be prevented, and the acceleration to be applied to the interior of the copying machine 41 is reduced for preventing the damage of the interior of the copying machine 41 and the coming- out of the inside units, so that the opening of doors or the like can be prevented.</p> |
