  • Patent number: 5568705
    Abstract: An earthquake resistant mount is made up of two monoblock elements of a hard rotproof material possessing great resistance to abrasion for supporting buildings and constructions. The earthquake resistant mount is secured to the infrastructure and to the superstructure of the building. A first monoblock element is formed of a preferably circular horizontal rubbing plate including a cone frustrum at its center. A second monoblock element has the shape of a circular cap with a flat blind end and covers the first element so that said blind end of the concavity is in contact with the horizontal plane situated at the top of the cone frustrum, and the horizontal peripheral edge is in contact with the rubbing plate. An annular space is furnished between the internal lateral wall of the circular cap and the lateral wall of the cone frustrum, and the horizontal peripheral edge is in contact with the rubbing plate.
