Abstract: A viscous damper for a machinery mount having a damping member disposed intermediate a top support engageable with at least a portion of a load and a bottom plate disposed beneath the support and spaced therefrom to thereby decrease or deaden vibrations. The damper includes a receptacle for vertical disposition, which is closed at the bottom and opened at the top, and is adaptable for containing a viscous fluid. A plunger of smaller lateral dimensions is arranged concentrically and co-axially within the receptacle, and depends downwardly from the horizontally disposed support, and is of such a longitudinal dimension as to be spaced from the closed bottom of the receptacle so as to be submerged partially in the viscous fluid and is therefore free to move vertically. A perforated plate is affixed at the bottom of the plunger, and provides fluid communication between the receptacle and the plunger.

Abstract: A machinery mount for supporting at least a portion of a load on a substructure, and for correcting out-of-level conditions and absorption of horizontal forces. The mount includes a horizontally disposed, discoidal member having a substantially planar horizontal surface and an opposed surface having a first spherical segment for complementary registration with a seat having a second spherical segment of opposite curvature to the first spherical segment to allow the discoidal member to swivel on the seat along the arc defined by the second spherical segment. A rigid member is disposed beneath the discoidal member, and a resilient member is disposed beneath the rigid member and adaptable for disposition adjacent the substructure.
