Vibration reduction support apparatus

A support apparatus that can be positioned between a load element and a support element to cushion the load element against vibration with respect to the support element, comprising:

• a base member;
• a receiving member having defined thereon an element engaging surface facing away from the base member to receive the load element;
• a vibration reduction device disposed between the base member and the receiving member to yieldably resist relative movement of the members toward one another along an axis of movement which is substantially normal to the element engaging surface;
• a support element securing device attached to the base member to secure the load element to the element engaging surface;
• and
• wherein one of the base member or the receiving member is at least partially received within the other member for sliding motion along the axis.
