Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to mounting apparatus for adjustingly and insulatingly supporting various types of rotatable and vibratable machinery. The apparatus includes a base member and a vertically movable support member, both of which members have inclined surfaces in diverging pairs between which are disposed two wedge shaped members. A screw arrangement having right and left hand threads engage the two wedge shaped members to move them toward and away from each other in unison to raise and lower the vertically movable support member. Between the wedge shaped members and the base member on the bottom and the support member on the top are resilient elements which provide cushioning for the upper support member. The resilient elements may be attachable to the wedge shaped members and slide relative to the other member or may be attachable to all of the members. In the latter case the resilient members are somewhat thicker because in the absence of relative sliding the relative movement between the members must be accommodated by the relative displacement between the upper and lower portions of each resilient member.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 140 words
An adjustable height support unit, comprising, a casted base member having unmachined surfaces meeting to form an apex and extending downwardly therefrom in a longitudinal direction, a casted support member having unmachined surfaces meeting to form an apex and extending upwardly therefrom in a longitudinal direction, a pair of casted wedge members between said members and having surfaces in respective juxtaposition and parallel relation to said base member and support member unmachined surfaces, resilient elements respectively between juxtapositioned pairs of said surfaces, one side of which is attached to one surface of each of said pairs and the other side of which is slidably resting on the other surface of each of said pairs, and motive means for forcibly moving said wedge members in opposite direction in unison to raise and lower said support member relative to said base member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 140 words
An adjustable height support unit, comprising, a casted base member having unmachined surfaces meeting to form an apex and extending downwardly therefrom in a longitudinal direction, a casted support member having unmachined surfaces meeting to form an apex and extending upwardly therefrom in a longitudinal direction, a pair of casted wedge members between said members and having surfaces in respective juxtaposition and parallel relation to said base member and support member unmachined surfaces, resilient elements respectively between juxtapositioned pairs of said surfaces, one side of which is attached to one surface of each of said pairs and the other side of which is slidably resting on the other surface of each of said pairs, and motive means for forcibly moving said wedge members in opposite direction in unison to raise and lower said support member relative to said base member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 31 words
An adjustable height support unit according to claim 1 wherein one surface of each of said pairs of juxtapositioned surfaces is recessed for receiving and retaining one of said resilient elements.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 29 words
An adjustable height support unit according to claim 1 wherein said motive means includes a screw member with right and left hand thread sections respectively engaging said wedge members.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 39 words
An adjustable height support unit according to claim 1 wherein said support member is provided with said other surface of said pair and includes a surrounding shroud section, said shroud having an opening for access to said motive means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 32 words
An adjustable height support unit according to claim 3 wherein said screw member has a sleeve attached adjacent the head thereof for limiting movement of the adjacent one of said wedge members.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 20 words
An adjustable height support unit according to claim 1 wherein all of said surfaces extend normal to a vertical plane.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 25 words
An adjustable height support unit according to claim 1 wherein all of said surfaces form angles of approximately 15 degrees relative to a horizontal plane.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 39 words
An adjustable height support unit according to claim 1 wherein said base member surfaces extend downwardly from the apex thereof in a lateral direction, and said support member surfaces extend upwardly from the apex thereof in a lateral direction.
