  • Patent number: 8266929
    Abstract: The pedestal isolator according to the present invention isolates a vibration source such as a front-loading washing machine from its surroundings. The vibration source is supported on elongated members that in turn are each supported on a pair of knife-edge supports. Ends of the elongated members are restrained from longitudinal movement. The distance between the pair of knife edge supports may be fixed or adjustable based on the expected vibration frequency.

  • Patent number: 7500642
    Abstract: A pipe support is provided that includes a frame capable of being placed around an existing pipe and a plurality of support members within the frame. The frame is a hollow cylinder that includes two connectable halves divided along the diameter of the hollow cylinder. The pipe support includes two bearing rings connected to the frame for supporting each of the plurality of members at a minimum of two contact points. Each of the two bearing rings include bearing points for each support member arranged in a cylindrical pattern concentric with the hollow cylinder frame. The pipe support includes means for rotating each of the support members at a first contact point with respect to a second contact point so that the support members engage a pipe placed within the pipe support. The support members are rods that provide vibration isolation to a pipe placed within the pipe support.
