<p>A hydraulic buffer, filled with a compound having the behaviour of a liquid to a certain extent, mounted beneath the foundation of buildings and houses in order to sustain earthquakes. The buffer is made from reinforced flexible material and consists of two parallel circular plates (1, 2), on the circumference connected to each other by a torus (5), in such a way that the torus and the drum-like space between the circular plates do communicate freely,while the torus is fitted upright or downwards, in order to force the buffer to return to its original position.</p> |
