ABSTRACT:
A machinery mount for supporting at least a portion of a load on a substructure, and for correcting out-of-level conditions and absorption of horizontal forces. The mount includes a horizontally disposed, discoidal member having a substantially planar horizontal surface and an opposed surface having a first spherical segment for complementary registration with a seat having a second spherical segment of opposite curvature to the first spherical segment to allow the discoidal member to swivel on the seat along the arc defined by the second spherical segment. A rigid member is disposed beneath the discoidal member, and a resilient member is disposed beneath the rigid member and adaptable for disposition adjacent the substructure. A second, substantially horizontally disposed member is disposed adjacent the discoidal member in the horizontal plane and free to move laterally as a result of a horizontal force, and a retaining means at least partially circumscribes the second horizontally disposed member and is spaced therefrom for limiting the lateral movement of the second horizontally disposed member.
