Abstract: A vibration isolating apparatus comprises an upper bed which is placed with an object thereon, a lower bed which directly receives a vibration caused by an earthquake, a support mechanism for supporting the upper bed so that the upper bed is relatively displaceable with respect to the lower bed in a horizontal direction with a small friction, a plurality of guide members separated from each other and provided on the upper and lower beds, a wire member provided around the guide members in a form of a loop, and a spring mechanism for absorbing a tension in the wire member depending on a deformation of a shape of the loop formed by the wire member due to a displacement of the lower bed with respect to the upper bed caused by the earthquake.
