ABSTRACT:
A machine foot has an upper section for connection to a machine bottom and a lower section for resting on a floor. A spring for vibration damping is operatively interposed between the upper and the lower section. In a preferred embodiment an elastically deformable ring member is also interposed between the upper and lower section for diverting at least a component of a vertically effective forces in a radial direction into the lower section by a friction effect which also provides a damping of vibrations of the machine to which the foot is connected, such as an appliance.
