Abstract
An improved machinery mount for supporting a load on a substructure such as a building floor, having a support member engagable with at least a portion of said load, and a bearing member disposed beneath said support member and spaced therefrom. A damper disposed between the bearing member and the substructure includes a plurality of compressible resilient members and at least one rigid member interposed between the resilient members, the uppermost resilient member disposed adjacent the bearing member and the lowermost resilient member disposed adjacent the substructure. The resilient members, being preferably rubber or plastic, are bonded to the adjacent rigid member, preferably being a metal. Preferably, the damper is secured to the bearing member, and the bearing member is secured to the support member, the three components thereby forming an integral unit.
