Abstract

Abstract Translated from English Support dilatable (1) pour supporter une lourde machine industrielle (3) ou autre sur une fondation (5). Le support comporte des éléments de base (17a, 17b) et de support (19) pouvant s'engager respectivement avec la fondation et la machine, ainsi qu'un élément annulaire dilatable (23a, 23b) reliant les éléments de base et de support et délimitant entre eux une chambre dilatable fermée (27a, 27b). Un fluide sous pression est pompé dans cette chambre via un orifice d'admission (29) afin de dilater le support pour amener les éléments de base et de support à s'engager de manière portante avec la machine et la fondation. L'élément annulaire (23a, 23b) est conçu pour permettre aux éléments de base (17a, 17b) et de support (19) de ne plus être parallèles l'un par rapport à l'autre afin d'entrer entièrement en contact face à face avec les surfaces non parallèles de la fondation (5) et de la machine (3). Est également décrit un procédé d'utilisation d'une pluralité de tels supports dilatables (1) pour supporter une lourde machine industrielle (3) ou autre. Expandable support (1) for supporting a heavy industrial machine (3) or the like on a foundation (5). The support has base (17a, 17b) and support (19) members engageable with the foundation and the machine respectively, and an expandable annular member (23a, 23b) connecting the base and support members and defining between them a closed expandable chamber (27a, 27b). A pressurized fluid is pumped into this chamber through an inlet (29) to expand the support to cause the base and support members to load-bearingly engage with the machine and the foundation. The annular element (23a, 23b) is designed to allow the base (17a, 17b) and support (19) elements to no longer be parallel to each other in order to come into full face contact. face to face with the non-parallel surfaces of the foundation (5) and the machine (3). Also described is a method of using a plurality of such expandable supports (1) to support a heavy industrial machine (3) or the like.
