  • Patent number: 6910666
    Abstract: A leveling mount is disclosed for equipment in temporary or permanent installations wherein the supporting surface can be a non-level planar surface. A ball and socket support stud provides a self-leveling adjustment of support. An elastomeric removable mount base pad provides non-skid means. Swivel and radial movement of the ball and socket support stud are maintained to about 15° from the vertical and 360° rotary movement of the leveling mount base. The leveling mount base can engage a threaded support stud affixed to the supported equipment. A suitable number of lag holes with knock-out covers over said lag holes are provided. The lag holes are in perpendicular alignment with parallel top and bottom configured surfaces of the leveling mount base to permit secure attachment of the leveling mount base to support surfaces to reduce to a minimum the presence of open holes, crevices, recesses and cavities in the juncture of the leveling device with the support surface.

  • Patent number: 6742750
    Abstract: A leveling mount is disclosed for equipment in temporary or permanent installations wherein the supporting surface can be a non-level planar surface. A ball and socket support stud provides a self-leveling adjustment of support. An elastomeric removable mount base pad provides non-skid means. Limited swivel and radial movement of the ball and socket support stud are maintained. The leveling mount base can engage a support stud affixed to the supported equipment. A ball retaining agent provides a security lock against removal of the ball from the ball socket from sock or impact. The ball retaining agent alternatively is adjustable to limit range of swivel from 15° from the vertical and to lock limited swivel and rotary movements of the ball and socket stud into fixed positions.
