Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a vibration isolating table device in which a table body is supported on a base plate in the floating state through a vibration isolating device in order to isolate a tool or an instrument mounted on the table body from externally applied vibrations. In the vibration isolating table device, a magnetic plate and a magnet are respectively fixed on one and the other of mutually-opposite surfaces of the base plate and the table body so as to apply a force to the table body in the direction against an upward force applied to the table body by the vibration isolating device to thereby fix the table body. An end of a swing member is attached on the lower surface of the table body at the center portion thereof, and a weight is attached to the other end of the swinging member, so that the table body is caused to swing in response to an external force applied to the table body. This swing motion of the table body is subject to braking so as to be stopped in a moment by the vibration isolating device and the magnet.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 241 words
A vibration isolating table device comprising a base plate having an upper and a lower surface, a table body having an upper and a lower surface and for supporting an object to be mounted on the upper surface thereof, a vibration isolating means provided on the upper surface of said base plate and for supporting the lower surface of said table body horizontally in a floating state, the improvement comprising: a magnetic attraction means for attracting said table body toward said base plate against a floating force of said vibration isolating means, said magnetic attraction means being provided with a magnetic plate and a magnet means respectively provided on one and the other of the upper surface of said base plate and the lower surface of said table body such that said magnetic plate and magnet means are in opposition to each other, said magnet means having a magnetic force substantially the same as the floating force of said vibration isolating means; and means for generating a swing motion in said table body in response to an external force directly applied to said table body, said swing motion generating means being provided with a swinging member with its one end attached on the lower surface of said table body at the center portion thereof and with its longitudinal axis extending perpendicularly to the surfaces of said table body, and a weight member attached on the other end of said swinging member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 241 words
A vibration isolating table device comprising a base plate having an upper and a lower surface, a table body having an upper and a lower surface and for supporting an object to be mounted on the upper surface thereof, a vibration isolating means provided on the upper surface of said base plate and for supporting the lower surface of said table body horizontally in a floating state, the improvement comprising: a magnetic attraction means for attracting said table body toward said base plate against a floating force of said vibration isolating means, said magnetic attraction means being provided with a magnetic plate and a magnet means respectively provided on one and the other of the upper surface of said base plate and the lower surface of said table body such that said magnetic plate and magnet means are in opposition to each other, said magnet means having a magnetic force substantially the same as the floating force of said vibration isolating means; and means for generating a swing motion in said table body in response to an external force directly applied to said table body, said swing motion generating means being provided with a swinging member with its one end attached on the lower surface of said table body at the center portion thereof and with its longitudinal axis extending perpendicularly to the surfaces of said table body, and a weight member attached on the other end of said swinging member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 67 words
A vibration isolating table device according to claim 1, in which said magnetic plate of said magnet attraction means is attached on the upper surface of said base plate at a central portion thereof, and in which said magnet means is constituted by a plurality of permanent magnets attached on the lower surface of said table body symmetrically with respective to the center of said magnetic plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 54 words
A vibration isolating device according to claim 1, in which the other end of said swinging member of said swing motion generating means is passed through an opening formed in the center portion of said base plate and projected down from said base plate so that said weight is located below said base plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 64 words
A vibration isolating table device according to claim 1, in which said weight of said swing motion generating means is constituted by a plate-like body having an upper and a lower surface parallel to the surfaces of said base plate, and in which the lower end of said swinging member is attached on the upper surface of said plate-like body at the center thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 44 words
A vibration isolating table device according to claim 2, in which said magnetic plate is rectangular and said permanent magnets are attached on the lower surface of said table body so as to be in opposition to four corners of said magnetic plate respectively.
