Support base for a machine or the like

A support for a machine or the like comprising a frame having first and second axes thereon and at least two supports at spaced intervals on said frame, each of said supports having at least one reference point thereon, said support base further having means for adjustably securing said supports to said frame with said reference point of each of said supports being in a desired position, said frame and said supports interfitting with one another, said securing means comprising a first set of one or more fasteners extending in a direction parallel to said first axis and interconnecting said frame and said support and a second set of one or more fasteners extending in the direction of said second axis and interconnecting said frame and said support, said first and second sets of fasteners each being independently adjustable so as to selectively move said support relative to said frame along said first and second axes and being securingly operable so as to lock said support to said frame in its desired adjusted position with said reference points in their desired positions, said frame being a weldment having a longitudinal side member at each side thereof, said longitudinal side members being parallel to said first axis of said frame, said supports being generally perpendicular to said side members and being generally parallel to said second axis, each of said longitudinal side members having a socket therein for receiving a portion of each of said supports, said socket at least partially receiving a portion of its respective support, said first set of fasteners extending through a portion of said socket adjacent the sides of the support in a direction generally parallel to said first axis and being engageable with the sides of the support, said second set of fasteners extending through said longitudinal side member in a direction generally parallel to said second axis and being engageable with said support.
