Universal Shock and Vibration Mounts.

摘要

The patent application relates to a universal mounting base for protecting fragile equipment against shock and vibration. A resilient plastic foam pad of rectangular outline is divided into quadrature air cavities and sandwiched between bottom and top plates. The top plate includes four matrices of holes, each matrix registering with a respective cavity, and being selectively blocked by cover pads interfaced between the top plate and the bottom of the equipment to be supported. Holes selected for blocking are empirically determined for a given weight and center of gravity of the equipment to achieve maximum dynamic stability and protection.
