Abstract
Abstract An impact absorbing block of resilient material is utilized as an intermediary to support a post on a base. The block has a bore extending therethrough with a shoulder formed therein to support (1) the post and (2) a fastener which extends from the bore to draw the block against the base. The bottom surface of the block is dished-out so that the drawing up of the fastener compresses the peripheral edge of the block against the base to provide a dust-free seal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
A mounting for resiliently supporting a member on a base; a substantially solid block of resilient material having a slightly concave surface and a curvilinear surface extending from the periphery of the concave surface, said block having a first bore extending from the apex of the concave surface and a second bore larger than the first bore for receiving the member in close-fit relationship so that the entry of foreign matter between the member and the second bore is precluded, said second bore extending from the apex of the curvilinear surface to form a shoulder at a juncture of the bores for supporting the member positioned in the second bore; and a fastener resting on the shoulder and extending through the first bore for drawing the concave surface of the substantially solid block into engagement with the base to compress the peripheral edge of the block at the juncture of said concave and curvilinear surfaces thereby sealing said peripheral edge to the base to preclude the entry of foreign matter therebetween and providing a stable, resilient mounting to maintain in an upright position the member positioned in the second bore.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
190 words
A mounting for resiliently supporting a member on a base; a substantially solid block of resilient material having a slightly concave surface and a curvilinear surface extending from the periphery of the concave surface, said block having a first bore extending from the apex of the concave surface and a second bore larger than the first bore for receiving the member in close-fit relationship so that the entry of foreign matter between the member and the second bore is precluded, said second bore extending from the apex of the curvilinear surface to form a shoulder at a juncture of the bores for supporting the member positioned in the second bore; and a fastener resting on the shoulder and extending through the first bore for drawing the concave surface of the substantially solid block into engagement with the base to compress the peripheral edge of the block at the juncture of said concave and curvilinear surfaces thereby sealing said peripheral edge to the base to preclude the entry of foreign matter therebetween and providing a stable, resilient mounting to maintain in an upright position the member positioned in the second bore.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
190 words
A mounting for resiliently supporting a member on a base; a substantially solid block of resilient material having a slightly concave surface and a curvilinear surface extending from the periphery of the concave surface, said block having a first bore extending from the apex of the concave surface and a second bore larger than the first bore for receiving the member in close-fit relationship so that the entry of foreign matter between the member and the second bore is precluded, said second bore extending from the apex of the curvilinear surface to form a shoulder at a juncture of the bores for supporting the member positioned in the second bore; and a fastener resting on the shoulder and extending through the first bore for drawing the concave surface of the substantially solid block into engagement with the base to compress the peripheral edge of the block at the juncture of said concave and curvilinear surfaces thereby sealing said peripheral edge to the base to preclude the entry of foreign matter therebetween and providing a stable, resilient mounting to maintain in an upright position the member positioned in the second bore.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
190 words
A mounting for resiliently supporting a member on a base; a substantially solid block of resilient material having a slightly concave surface and a curvilinear surface extending from the periphery of the concave surface, said block having a first bore extending from the apex of the concave surface and a second bore larger than the first bore for receiving the member in close-fit relationship so that the entry of foreign matter between the member and the second bore is precluded, said second bore extending from the apex of the curvilinear surface to form a shoulder at a juncture of the bores for supporting the member positioned in the second bore; and a fastener resting on the shoulder and extending through the first bore for drawing the concave surface of the substantially solid block into engagement with the base to compress the peripheral edge of the block at the juncture of said concave and curvilinear surfaces thereby sealing said peripheral edge to the base to preclude the entry of foreign matter therebetween and providing a stable, resilient mounting to maintain in an upright position the member positioned in the second bore.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
A mounting as set forth in claim 1 wherein the second bore is threaded to cooperatively engage threads formed in the member thereby providing a close-fit relationship so that entry of foreign matter between the member and the second bore is precluded.
