Abstract
Abstract A motor support comprising an open cratelike frame the bottom of which defines a basal plane and adapted there to be fixed to an available surface. To this fixed frame is hinged a movable frame member on which a motor may be mounted, the motor having a spring-loaded variable-pitch pulley located in a plane passing said frames at a side thereof whereby belt drive may be used to a machine situated selectively above or below said frames and motor, or in other words, offset from said basal plane. Longitudinally within the fixed frame is a screw shaft engaging through a yoke or rider at the ends of which are swinging struts having upper connection to the movable frame for rising and lowering the same. Springs are provided for said yoke to compensate for the weight of the motor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
A motor support comprising a relatively fixed member adapted to be located in a horizontal position and a movable member substantially longitudinally extensive therewith and occupying a position thereabove, said members being hinged together proximate to one longitudinal end of each, and the movable member having means at the longitudinal end portion thereof remote from the hinged end for receiving and holding a motor thereon a rotatable screw shaft located at a level below said hinging of said members and mounted in and parallel to and extending from end to end of said fixed member and retained therein from longitudinal displacement, a yoke transverse to and receiving said screw shaft therethrough and in threaded engagement therewith, and struts always having upward slope from said yoke to the movable member, said struts being ''''operatively connected'''' at their lower ends with said yoke and at their upper ends with said movable member for swinging said movable member on its hinges by rotation of said screw shaft and consequent transition of said yoke and struts connected therewith.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
174 words
A motor support comprising a relatively fixed member adapted to be located in a horizontal position and a movable member substantially longitudinally extensive therewith and occupying a position thereabove, said members being hinged together proximate to one longitudinal end of each, and the movable member having means at the longitudinal end portion thereof remote from the hinged end for receiving and holding a motor thereon a rotatable screw shaft located at a level below said hinging of said members and mounted in and parallel to and extending from end to end of said fixed member and retained therein from longitudinal displacement, a yoke transverse to and receiving said screw shaft therethrough and in threaded engagement therewith, and struts always having upward slope from said yoke to the movable member, said struts being ''''operatively connected'''' at their lower ends with said yoke and at their upper ends with said movable member for swinging said movable member on its hinges by rotation of said screw shaft and consequent transition of said yoke and struts connected therewith.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
A motor support in accordance with claim 1 wherein a spring axially parallel to said screw shaft and in direct engagement with said yoke is provided tending to actuate said yoke in a direction contra to the force imposed on said yoke by the weight of the motor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A motor support in accordance with claim 2, wherein said spring is proximate to the end of the fixed member where the movable member is hinged.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A motor support in accordance with claim 2, wherein said spring is at the opposite end of said fixed member from where the movable member is hinged.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
67 words
A motor support in accordance with claim 2, wherein a plurality of springs are provided arranged parallel to and disposed on opposite sides of said screw shaft. 6. A motor support in accordance with claim 5, wherein fixed rods are provided for support of said springs at opposite sides of said screw shaft, said rods passing through said yoke and said yoke being slidable on said rods.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
A motor support in accordance with claim 6, wherein said springs are proximate to the end of the fixed member nearest which the movable member is hinged.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
45 words
A motor support in accordance with claim 7, wherein said springs are at a level below the level of said hinging and thereby offset therefrom, and wherein said springs are proximate to the end of the fixed member remote from the hinging of said members.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
A motor support in accordance with claim 7, wherein said springs are at the opposite end of said fixed member from where the movable member is hinged.
