ABSTRACT:
A suspension system for a component of an air conditioning system adapted for mounting the air conditioning system to a support surface. The suspension system is designed for use with an air conditioning system component that is mounted on spaced apart support rails. The suspension system is integrated into the support rail and eliminates the need for a self contained suspension system that must have specially designed mounting points for attachment to the support rails. The integrated design provides for resistance to lateral loads and facilitates the interchange and replacement of suspension system components. The suspension system comprises a spring for absorbing motion occurring between the air conditioning system component and the support surface. The spring has a first end and a second end, and defines a spring axis extending between the two ends. A receptacle is formed integral to a respective one of the support rails for supporting the first end of the spring. The receptacle defines a partially enclosed volume adapted for receiving and substantially enclosing the first end of the spring. A base is connected to the support structure for supporting the second end of the spring. The base includes a plurality of lateral movement restraining devices for restraining movement of the second end of the spring that is transverse to the spring axis.
