DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A support system for a rotating shaft, comprising: a fixed bracket; a bracket assembly having a first damping member having a first fixed end and a second movable end, said first fixed end being securably attached to said fixed bracket and said second movable end being movable in a first plane aligned with the shaft, said bracket assembly having a brace securably attached to said second movable end of said first damping member, said first fixed end and said second movable end of said first damping member being independently attached to, respectively, the fixed bracket and the brace, said bracket assembly further having a second damping member having a first end and a second end, said first end being securably attached to said brace and said second end being movable in a second plane that is aligned with the shaft and is generally perpendicular to said first plane; and a roller bearing securably attached to said second end of said second damping member, said roller bearing being constructed and arranged to provide a mechanical interconnection between said second end of said damping member and the shaft.
2.
A support system according to claim 1, wherein said first damping member includes a first plate member and a first damping element positioned within said first plate member and said second damping member includes a second plate member and a second damping element positioned within said second plate member.
3.
A support system according to claim 2, wherein said first plate member, said second plate member, and said brace together form a one-piece, unitary bracket element.
4.
A support system according to claim 3, wherein each of said first and second damping element is elastomeric material, and said bracket element is metal.
5.
A support system according to claim 2, wherein said first plate member is a one-piece, unitary member and said second plate member is a one-piece, unitary member.
6.
A support system according to claim 5, wherein each of said first and second damping elements is elastomeric material, and each of said first and second plate members is metal
