Abstract
A Shock absorbing support system isolates vibrations that would otherwise pass through the important instrument mounted on the vibration source. The isolation includes springs and dampers under the bottom of the instrument while dampers around tops of the instrument. The combination of the springs and the dampers results in a dissipation of kinetic energy caused by vibrations that would otherwise pass through the instrument and cause significant dynamic load and damages to the support and the instrument.
Claims5
A shock absorbing support system comprising:
- lower supporting members that support the shock absorbing system that support a instrument;
- instrument frame for tightly fits of said instrument;
- upper framing members for damping vibrations transmitted to said instrument frame;
- said upper members having first connection assembly means for being vertically supported to bottom frame of said instrument and second connection assembly means for being horizontally connected to the upper frame of said instrument in at least two directions;
- said lower supporting members comprising steel or aluminum members that connect said shock absorbing system to a structure that has dynamic vibration source;
- said instrument frame comprising rigid connection points to said instrument with or without frame members that surrounding said instrument.
