Abstract
The present invention is concerned with a thrust support system supporting on a stand the thrust of a rotator of a vertical shaft rotary machine. Said support system comprises a ring-like member for receiving thrust of the rotator, legs disposed at a given distance from and obliquely upwardly of said member, and slanted connecting members for connecting said ring-like member with the leg, and said legs being provided with a movement-preventing member for preventing the legs from moving in the diametral direction. With this arrangement, stresses acting on said respective members are distributed in simple and uniform manner.
