ABSTRACT:
An apparatus that supports a load and limits shock force from being transmitted through the four elongated struts that are positioned to support the load. The struts are aligned at an acute angle relative to a base when no shock force is applied to the load. The struts pivot to a second smaller acute angle relative to the base when a shock force is applied to the load. A pair of leaf-springs, which may consist of a stack of several leaf-springs, is associated with each pair of struts so that when a shock force is applied to the load, the leaf-springs apply a return force that drives the struts back to the first acute angle alignment with the base. Restraint members coupled to the struts are used to align them at the first angle relative to said base when no shock force is applied to the load.
