Support apparatus being adjustable as to height and insulating vibrations for machines and the like

摘要

The invention relates to mounting apparatus for adjustingly and insulatingly supporting various types of rotatable and vibratable machinery. The apparatus includes a base member and a vertically movable support member, both of which members have inclined surfaces in diverging pairs between which are disposed two wedge shaped members. A screw arrangement having right and left hand threads engage the two wedge shaped members to move them toward and away from each other in unison to raise and lower the vertically movable support member. Between the wedge shaped members and the base member on the bottom and the support member on the top are resilient elements which provide cushioning for the upper support member. The resilient elements may be attachable to the wedge shaped members and slide relative to the other member or may be attachable to all of the members. In the latter case the resilient members are somewhat thicker because in the absence of relative sliding the relative movement between the members must be accommodated by the relative displacement between the upper and lower portions of each resilient member.
