ABSTRACT:
An expansible support for supporting a heavy industrial machine or the like on a foundation. The support comprises base and support members engageable with the foundation and machine, respectively, and an expansible annular member connecting the base and support members and defining an enclosed expansible chamber therebetween. Pressurized fluid is pumped into this chamber via an inlet port to expand the support to bring the base and support members into load-bearing engagement with the machine and foundation. The annular member is designed to permit the base and support members to move out of parallel with respect to one another for full face-to-face contact with nonparallel surfaces on the foundation and machine.
A method of using a plurality of such expansible supports to support a heavy industrial machine or the like is also disclosed.
