A very stiff mounting structure comprises at least three pyramidally disposed rod-like members rigidly coupled together at one end and with their other ends rigidly coupled to a base either to stiffen the base and/or to mount a device such as a tool or instrument with respect to it. Three pyramidally disposed members (1a, 1b, 1c, FIG. 10) may be mounted on a tetrahedral base 22 or another three-dimensional base 22' (FIG. 11), or four such members on respective corners of a square pyramid, to form therewith a framework in which to mount, for example, a machine tool or measuring instrument, the base preferably being formed of similar rod-like members; or the base may be a plate or other structure of a separately existing machine or other entity. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A machine tool mounting device comprising: at 1east three rigid rod-like members with one end of each being rigidly coupled to corresponding ends of others at a common vertex; a machine tool holder secured to said rigid rod-like members and being constructed and arranged to be able to carry a machine tool; and a rigid base to which another end of each of said rod-like members is coupled, said rigid base comprising a three dimensional structure for rigidly carrying said rod-like members and the machine toolholder secured to said members.
2.
A machine tool mounting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said machine tool holder is disposed in spaced relation with respect to said base.
3.
A machine tool mounting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said rod-like members have substantially the same dimensions as one another.
4.
A machine tool mounting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rod-like members are coupled to one another at said one end of each by a substantially spherical hollow member.
5.
A machine tool mounting device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the hollow member comprises a pair of mating hemispheres.
6.
A machine tool mounting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said rod-like members are coupled to one another at said one end of each by a pin joint.
7.
A machine tool mounting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said rod-like members are coupled to one another at said one end of each by a welded contact.
8.
A machine tool mounting device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising decoupling means provided between said rod-like members for inhibiting transmission of vibration.
9.
A machine tool mounting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said mounting device comprises low aspect ratio components for maximizing a fundamental frequency of said mounting device and for reducing the vibration of said mounting device.
10.
A machine tool mounting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said rod-like members each comprise a strut member and a tensile member
