Claim 10

Cable-suspension device for apparatus to be protected from impacts, said device being self-stabilizing with three-way movability, which comprises in combination a fixed stand and a movable frame, said movable frame supporting said apparatus and being suspended from said fixed stand by means of at least three cables each running in a zigzag configuration and having at least two substantially vertical sections, the zigzag configuration of said cables being obtained by means of at least one intermediate frame between said fixed stand and said movable frame, said intermediate frame comprising four walls, two of which are vertical and parallel, while the two other walls slant downward and outward.

Claim 11

Cable-suspension device for apparatus to be protected from impacts, said device being self-stabilizing with three-way movability, which comprises in combination a fixed stand and a movable frame, said movable frame supporting said apparatus and being suspended from said fixed stand by means of at least three cables each running in a zigzag configuration and having at least two substantially vertical sections, the zigzag configuration of said cables being obtained by means of at least one intermediate frame between said fixed stand and said movable frame, said intermediate frame comprising four walls, two of which are vertical and parallel, while the two other walls slant downward and outward.

Claim 12

Suspension device as claimed in claim 9, in which in the slanting walls are provided half-way up with passageways for said cables.

Claim 13

Suspension device as claimed in claim 10, in which saiD passageways are directed from the outside towards the inside and from top to bottom of said frame.

Claim 14

Suspension device as claimed in claim 9, in which each cable is provided with a length-adjusting device which is made fast to said intermediate frame.

Claim 15

Cable suspension device for apparatus to be protected from impacts, said device being self-stabilizing with three-way movability, which comprises in combination a fixed stand and a movable frame, said movable frame supporting said apparatus and being suspended from said fixed stand by means of at least three cables each running in a zigzag configuration and having at least two substantially vertical sections, said fixed stand bearing on four feet the height of which is adjustable, said feet being formed by screws, the inner end of each screw being provided with a locking part which acts at least on said movable frame during transport.

Claim 16

Cable suspension device for apparatus to be protected from impacts, said device being self-stabilizing with three-way movability, which comprises in combination a fixed stand and a movable frame, said movable frame supporting said apparatus and being suspended from said fixed stand by means of at least three cables each running in a zigzag configuration and having at least two substantially vertical sections, said fixed stand bearing on four feet the height of which is adjustable, said feet being formed by screws, the inner end of each screw being provided with a locking part which acts at least on said movable frame during transport.

Claim 17

Suspension device as claimed in claim 13, in which said fixed stand has support feet passing through openings provided in the lower part of said movable frame, said openings being large enough to allow a sidewise movement of said movable frame relative to said fixed stand.

Claim 18

Suspension device as claimed in claim 14, in which said support feet are adjustable in the height thereof relative to the fixed stand and are provided with means for clamping the movable frame against said fixed stand.

Claim 19

Cable-suspension device for apparatus to be protected from impacts, said device being self-stabilizing with three-way movability, which comprises in combination a fixed stand and a movable frame, said movable frame supporting said apparatus and being suspened from said fixed stand by means of at least three cables each running in a zigzag configuration and having at least two substantially vertical sections, the zigzag configuration of said cables being obtained by means of at least one intermediate frame between said fixed stand and said movable frame, two clamping lugs being provided which can bear on the one hand against said intermediate frame and on the other hand against said movable frame, while set screws adjustable in height are associated respectively with said clamping lugs.

Claim 20

Cable-suspension device for apparatus to be protected from impacts, said device being self-stabilizing with three-way movability, which comprises in combination a fixed stand and a movable frame, said movable frame supporting said apparatus and being suspened from said fixed stand by means of at least three cables each running in a zigzag configuration and having at least two substantially vertical sections, the zigzag configuration of said cables being obtained by means of at least one intermediate frame between said fixed stand and said movable frame, two clamping lugs being provided which can bear on the one hand against said intermediate frame and on the other hand against said movable frame, while set screws adjustable in height are associated respectively with said clamping lugs.
