Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A vibration damping system for a machine set having parts adapted for rotation about a vertical axis including a vertical rotor shaft and a machine housing which is generally vertically upstanding comprising: cushioning mass means consisting essentially of resilient material arranged to extend annularly about said machine housing; first spring means including means for enabling adjustment of the rigidity thereof connected between said machine housing and said cushioning mass means for applying a horizontally directed resilient connection therebetween; second spring means resiliently suspending said cushioning mass means connected between said housing and said cushioning mass means providing a vertically directed resilient connection therebetween; and holding members attached to the sidewall of said machine housing arranged below said cushioning mass means to support at least said vertically directed second spring means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
A vibration damping system for a machine set having parts adapted for rotation about a vertical axis including a vertical rotor shaft and a machine housing which is generally vertically upstanding comprising: cushioning mass means consisting essentially of resilient material arranged to extend annularly about said machine housing; first spring means including means for enabling adjustment of the rigidity thereof connected between said machine housing and said cushioning mass means for applying a horizontally directed resilient connection therebetween; second spring means resiliently suspending said cushioning mass means connected between said housing and said cushioning mass means providing a vertically directed resilient connection therebetween; and holding members attached to the sidewall of said machine housing arranged below said cushioning mass means to support at least said vertically directed second spring means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A device according to claim 1 wherein said horizontally acting first spring means and said vertically acting second spring means comprise spring elements which are equally spaced about the circumference of said annular cushioning mass means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A device according to claim 2 wherein said first spring means comprise at least three horizontally acting spring elements and wherein said second spring means comprise at least three vertically acting spring elements.
