Abstract
An earthquake backstop support for mobile homes includes a cross-beam which underlies the pier-supported underframe of the home in closely spaced relationship to, but separated from, the underframe. In the event of displacement of the home from its piers, the beams of the backstop support support it in a level attitude and are carried on slidable shoes so as to permit sliding movement during continuing earthquake shocks.
