Abstract: A support base is disclosed for distributing a concentrated load over a generally planar surface. The support base comprises a baseplate formed of a moldable polymeric material having a top surface and a generally planar bottom surface. A tubular sleeve is formed integral with the baseplate and extends from the top surface defining an upper portion and a lower cavity portion. A cap, also formed integral with the baseplate, is oriented at the distal end of the sleeve lower cavity portion, thus defining the cavity height. A through bore is formed through the cap generally coaxial with the cavity. An array of projections, formed integral with the baseplate, extend upward from a top surface of the cap and are spaced around the through bore such that the distal ends of the projections provide a generally planar upper mounting surface.

Abstract: A support base for distributing a concentrated load over a contact surface is disclosed. The support base includes a body formed of moldable polymeric material having a top surface and a generally planar bottom surface. At least one recess is integrally formed in the top surface for receiving a support member. The support member transfers the concentrated load to the planar body. Furthermore, at least one through bore is provided in the support base and the through bore extends from the top surface to the bottom surface of the support base for receiving a fastener. The through bore has a shaft portion and a relatively oversized cavity portion adjacent to the bottom surface for receiving fasteners such as nuts for securing bolts, as well as, bolt heads of different sizes and configurations. The support base has many advantages over the prior are for example, the base may be attached to different interface bracketry without be modified.
