Abstract
The mounting system 10 includes a base support structure 12, a load support 14 and a compressive force-applying member 16. Compression elements 18 and 20 are disposed between the base support structure 12 and load support 14 and the load support 14 and member 16, respectively. Rods 22 interconnect base support structure 12 and member 16. Elements 18 and 20 are pre-compressively loaded by displacing member 16 toward base support structure 14 and compression elements 18 and 20 carry compression and tensile loadings while under compression. Support rods 22 extend through apertures in load support 14 to ensure vibration isolation of load support 14 from base support structure 12.
