Vibration isolation support structure for supporting an object upon a floor or the like. The structure includes a housing in which the lower portion thereof is adapted to engage a floor. The portion of the housing which engages the floor consists of elastomeric material. The housing has an opening therein at the upper portion thereof. Within the housing is a dish-shaped receptacle. A stem extends freely through the opening in the housing and has a base which rests upon the dish-shaped receptacle. The stem is adapted to support a load. The base and the stem are angularly and laterally movable with respect to the dish-shaped receptacle. Therefore, an object supported by the stem is laterally and angularly movable with respect to the housing. Thus, even though a floor upon which the housing rests is uneven in nature, the load supported by the support structure may assume a level position. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An isolating foot pad or mount 8 of this invention as illustrated in FIGS.
1, 2, 3, and 4 comprises a housing 10 of any suitable elastomeric material.
Within the housing 10 is a receptacle 14 of rigid material, such as metal or the like, having an arcuate or dished portion 14a.
Resting upon the arcuate or dished portion 14a of the receptacle 14 is a base 24 of a stem 26.
The base 24 has an arcuate bottom surface 24a, which may be a segment of a spherical surface.
The bottom surface 24a is shown as having substantially the same curvature as the curvature of the dished portion 14a of the receptacle 14.
A rigid cover member 30 partially encloses the housing 10 and has a relatively large opening 34 therein, through which the stem 26 freely extends.
The rigid cover member 30 may be of any suitable material, such as metal or the like.
The elastomeric material of the housing 10 is shown partially enclosing the cover member 30.
The stem 26 is attachable by any suitable means, not shown, to a suitable leg 40 for support of a machine tool, or item of furniture, table or the like, as illustrated in FIG.
1.
If the floor, not shown, upon which the housing 10 rests is substantially level and if all other related conditions are normal, the position of the stem 26 and base 24 thereof may be substantially as illustrated in FIG.
2.
If it is necessary to position the housing 10 in engagement with a vertical wall, it may be necessary for the stem 26 to move laterally with respect to the housing 10, to a position substantially as shown in FIG.
3, in order to accommodate a supported machine or the like.
In this position, the base 24 is supported upon a part of the dished portion 14a which is spaced from the center of the dished portion 14a.
In the event that the mount 8 of this invention must rest upon a floor or other surface which is uneven, the stem 26 may be angular with respect to the housing 10, as illustrated in FIG.
4.
In this position the bottom surface 24a of the base 24 is supported upon a part of the dished portion 14a of the receptable 14 which is spaced from the center of the dished portion 14a
