Apparatus for isolating and leveling a machine foundation

An apparatus for isolating and leveling a machine foundation with respect to a substructure, comprising:

• an enclosure connectable to said machine foundation;
• a bearing member disposed within and adjustable connected to said enclosure;
• a resilient member positioned between and in contact with said bearing member and said substructure for isolating said machine foundation from said substructure;
• and
• at least one gauge extending between said bearing member and said substructure to determine the distance between said bearing member and said substructure.

An apparatus for isolating and leveling a machine foundation with respect to a substructure, comprising:

• an enclosure connectable to said machine foundation;
• a bearing member disposed within and adjustably connected to said enclosure;
• a resilient member positioned between and in contact with said bearing member and said substructure for isolating said machine foundation from said substructure;
• a recess formed on a surface of said resilient member adjacent said bearing member;
• and
• said bearing member having a protruding surface complementarily engaging said recess of said resilient member for further stabilizing said resilient member.

An apparatus for isolating and leveling a machine foundation with respect to a substructure, comprising:

• a rigid enclosure connectable to said machine foundation, and said enclosure having an upper portion and a lower portion telescopically connected to one another to allow for various sizes of said enclosure;
• a bearing member disposed within said enclosure and adjustably connected to said lower portion of said enclosure;
• and
• a resilient member positioned between and in contact with said bearing member and said substructure for isolating said machine foundation from said substructure.

An apparatus for isolating a machine foundation from a substructure of a building, comprising:

• an enclosure connectable to said machine foundation, and said enclosure having an upper portion and a lower portion telescopically and adjustably connected to one another to allow for various sizes of said enclosure;
• a bearing member disposed within said enclosure and adjustably connected to said lower portion of said enclosure;
• a resilient member positioned between and in contact with said bearing member and said substructure for isolating said machine foundation from said substructure wherein said bearing member applies a load to said resilient member along a substantially vertical axis;
• an anchor plate assembly disposed within and adjustably connected to said enclosure;
• and
• an isolating member positioned between said anchor plate assembly and said substructure, and said isolating member biased against said substructure by said anchor plate assembly along a substantially horizontal axis to provide added stability to said machine foundation.
