Abstract: Representative embodiments include a support apparatus that can be positioned between a load element and a support element to cushion the load element against vibration with respect to the support element. The apparatus includes a base member and a receiving member. The receiving member has an element engaging surface facing away from the base member to receive the load element. A vibration reduction device is mounted between the base member and the receiving member to yieldably resist relative movement of the members toward one another along an axis of movement which is substantially normal to the element engaging surface. A load element securing device is attached to the receiving member to allow the load element to be secured to the element engaging surface. One of the base member or the receiving member is partially received within the other member for sliding motion along the axis.

Abstract: Representative embodiments include a support apparatus that can be positioned between a load element and a support element to cushion the load element against vibration with respect to the support element. A receiving member and a base member are movably engaged along an axis of movement. An element engaging surface is defined on one of the members and is configured to releasably engage one of the elements. A vibration reduction device mounted between the members and configured to yieldably resist relative movement of the members toward one another.

Abstract: An ambulance stretcher support is described for an ambulance having a floor with a top floor surface. In one embodiment, each support includes a stretcher leg receiving member that is adapted to releasably receive an ambulance stretcher leg. A base, configured to be mounted to the ambulance floor, mounts the stretcher leg receiving member for movement between a position substantially coplanar with the top floor surface, and a position below the top floor surface. A vibration reduction device is mounted between the base and the stretcher leg receiving member such that the stretcher leg can be releasably supported on the stretcher leg receiving member and the vibration reduction device will reduce transfer of vibration from the ambulance floor to the stretcher.
