  • Patent number: 6648295
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus that will dampen vibration and sound created by heavy machinery, such as metal presses, metal stampers, and HVAC units, as well as limit lateral movement of the heavy machinery based upon a combination of a multiplicity of air springs and rigid cylinders. The present invention provides the simplest method of dampening vibrations and sounds created by heavy machinery. The present invention further prevents lateral movement of the machinery, while simultaneously providing a means to protect such machinery against seismic events by absorbing the seismic forces.
