HAVING SEISMIC ISOLATION APPARATUS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seismic isolation apparatus, and to an item of equipment such as an automatic vending machine, or a structure like a building, which uses the seismic isolation apparatus.
2. Prior Art In a seismic isolation apparatus, an ideal seismic isolation is a case in which a friction coefficient is zero. In this case, even in the event that a suppor6ng surface shakes due to an earthquake, its body does not move at all. In the event that the friction coefficient is not zero, but exists even slightly, the body moves, and there is a possibility of a residual displacement occurring after the earthquake. However, in the event that it is possible to easily recover the residual displacement, there is no problem as an anti-earthquake measure. However, the friction coefficient being too low, so that the body moves easily at a time of regular use, is a problem. A
designing is done with a friction coefFicient that satisfies both. Generally, in order to reduce the friction coefficient, as well as using bearings or a material such as tetrafluoroethyiene, there is a method whereby a contact surface pressure per unit area is increased. In order to do so, a measure whereby a contact surface is reduced being adopted, as examples adopting this kind of device to date, for example, ones in which there is a contact between planar members or curved members, which have a predetermined area, have been known (refer to JP A-2000-74138 and JP-A-2002-39266).
AJso, in the event of constructing a seismic isolated building using the heretofore described kind of seismic isolation apparatus, an example has been known in which, in order to build at a low cost, structures duplicatively disposed above and below the seismic isolation apparatus are simply constructed (refer to JP-A-2003-293614). In this case, a tabular foundation slab is constructed of ferroconcrete, below a building planar surface, as a foundation structure, and an upper surface thereof is made horizontal. A slip bearing, or the like, to be attached to the foundation slab is driven in to the same height as the upper surface of the concrete. A slip plate, or the like, to be attached to a concrete upper slab, is disposed on the upper surface of the foundation slab, a rubber air jack is disposed in an appropriate place, an arrangement of bars is carried out thereon, and concrete of the upper slab is cast. After the concrete hardens, air is injected into the air jack, the concrete upper slab is lifted up, the slip bearing main body, or the like, is disposed, the air is released from the air jack, and the concrete upper slab is lowered to a predetermined height.
However, with the heretofore described kind of previously known seismic isolation apparatus, not only is an overall height of the seismic isolation apparatus large, meaning that an efFective utilization of space cannot be achieved, but also it is not possible to acquire a sufficiently low friction. Meanwhile, in the event of making a contact area small without limit, and forming a mechanical catch in a pointed form, the friction coefficient is raised too far instead. In order to arrange that such a biting in does not occur, surface hardness is also an important factor.
Also, with a building using the heretofore known seismic isolation apparatus, operations of inserting the air jack between the upper and lower slabs, and lifting the upper slab after the concrete hardens, being necessary as a construction method, it is troublesome, a construc6on schedule lengthens, and a cost soars. Furthermore, as the slip bearing main body is inserted under the concrete upper slab, it not being possible to insert it all the way on an interior side, a disposition of the slip bearing main body is restricted to a peripheral edge portion in a range reachable by hand. Thus, a problem to be solved lies in manufacturing, as a simple configuration and at a low cost, a seismic iso{ation apparatus with a low friction coefficient and a high surface hardness, and furthermore, using it in a seismic isolation structure, such as a small or medium scale building, by a simple method and at a low cost.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therein, an object of the invention is to provide, as a simple configuration, a seismic isolation apparatus with a low friction coefficient and a high surface hardness, and to provide a seismic isolation structure in which such a seismic isolation apparatus can be used by a simple method and at a low cost.
In order to achieve the heretofore described objective, a seismic isolation apparatus according to the invention is configured in a low friction combination structure formed by a point contact between a planar hard plate base which has a surface on which are disposed at least three convexly curved projections of a uniform height, and a glide plate which is a smooth, hard, flat plate.
It is preferable that a contact surface of at least one of the hard plate base and the glide plate has a surface layer formed of any one of stainless steel, aluminum, a steel plate, tetrafluoroethylene, polyacetal, polyethyiene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride, nylon, ABS,

It is preferable that a radius of curvature r at an apex of the convexly curved projections is 30mm or more. Also, it is also preferable that, as well as a whole of the hard plate base and the glide plate being formed as an approximatefy rectangular flat plate, comer portions of four comers thereof are in a diagonally cut form.
A seismic isolation stnacture according to the invention is configured in such a way that the heretofore described seismic isolation apparatus is installed on one portion, or a whole, of lower foundation concrete which has a planar upper surface, and upper foundation concrete of a building is formed on the seismic isolation apparatus, and taken as a foundation.
It is also acceptable that, in seismic isolation apparatus disposed in a peripheral por6on of the building, among the seismic isolation apparatus installed on the lower foundation concrete, a waterproofing agent is loaded into a space between the hard plate base and the glide plate which configure the seismic isolation apparatus.
It is preferable that a coupling fixing unit is provided in a desired place on a side extremity of a peripheral portion of the upper and lower foundation concrete, or on a side extremity surface of an intemal notch, and that a movement unit which retums the upper foundation concrete to an initial position is provided between coupling fixing unit`s. Also, it is preferable that, in the movement unit, a sensor is inserted which can measure a lateral force required for a movement Furthermore, it is also acceptable that the structure provides a slope onto which the seismic isolation apparatus runs in the event of moving beyond a predetermined movement distance.
Also, it is possible to adopt a seismic isolation structure wherein a seismic isolation floor is provided, formed leaving a movable range at one extremily side, using the heretofore described kind of seismic isolation apparatus, a non-seismic isolation floor is formed in contact with a wall on the side at which the movable range is left, and a por6on toward a center of the non-seismic
4 isofation floor and free end portion of the seismic isofation floor are slidably piled up with providing the seismic isolation apparatus therebetween. Furthermore, it is preferable that a damper is added, as a shock-absorbing material, to a side surface or a rear surface of the structure installed on the heretofore described kind of seismic isolation apparatus.
According to the seismic isolation apparatus of the invention, as a sliding between the approximately pianar hard plate base, which has a large number of convexly curved projections of a uniFonn height, and the glide plate is utilized, an overall height (a thickness) of the seismic isolation apparatus is low (thin), and an effective util'ization of space becomes possible. With the heretofore known seismic isolation apparatus, a movable displacement range at a fime of an earthquake being limited, and there also being a limit to a size of an earthquake which can be responded to, the apparatus becomes large, and the cost increases considerably when attempting to enlarge the range, but as it is possible, with the invention, to easily widen the movable displacement range, it is possible to respond to an extremely low budget.
As a lubricating oil or a lubricating grease is applied between the hard plate base and the glide plate, which are in point contact, it is possible to further reduce the friction coefficient Furthermore, because of the convexly curved projections of the invention, even in the event that dust encroaches, it does not adhere to a glide surface, the friction coefficient is maintained satisfactorily, and a long Iifespan of the seismic isolation apparatus is achieved. By a lubricafing oil or a lubricating grease, which is a viscous medium or a viscoelastic medium, being inserted or loaded between the hard plate base and the glide plate, a vibration energy at a time of an earthquake is absorbed, there is an anti-corrosion effect as water does not encroach even at a time of flooding, and a long-term durability is secured.
By affndng an elastic plate to one of the upper surface or the lower surface of the hard plate base, which has the convexly curved projections, and the glide plate in a superimposed condition, even in the event that there is some irregularity in a floor surface of concrete or the like, or in a lower surface of a seismic isolation subject, the elasfic plate elasticalfy deforms, absorbing an increase or decrease of the irregularity, when sliding forward or backward, left or right, in a horizontal direction at a time of an earthquake, and the apparatus can glide smoothly.
Also, by the convexly curved projections having one more convex ring on a concentric circle on the exterior thereof, or by forming intermittent si'rts along the circumferential direction of a concentric circle on the exterior thereof, as well as exercising the same kind of effect as the elastic plate, a number of parts is reduced, an intemal stress of the projections is released by the slits at a time of a pressing process in the case of providing the slits, and it is possible to maintain a planar accuracy of a whole of the plate.
By making the radius of curvature r at the apex of the convexly curved projections 30mm or more, the friction coefficient becomes 0.2 or less, which is appropriate for a seismic isolation.
Also, by the whole of the hard plate base, which has the convexly curved projections, and the glide plate being an approximately rectangular flat plate, and the comer portions of the four

Also, by the whole of the hard plate base, which has the convexly curved projections, and the glide plate being an approximately rectangular flat plate, and the comer portions of the four
5 comers thereof being diagonally cut, it is possible, utilizing the diagonally cut por6ons at a time of a factory produclion, to temporarily bind the upper and lower plates together with an adhesive tape, reducing an encroachment of dust, and transport them. Also, after installing a large number of seismic isofation apparatus in predetermined positions, and joining the upper glide plates together with an adhesive tape, an operation of separating the upper and lower plates can be easily done by inserting a blade into a space between the cut por6ons, and severing the adhesive tape.
According to the seismic isolation structure of the invention, simply by closely laying the seismic isolation apparatus on the lower foundation concrete, and placing concrete thereon, a seismic isolation structure of a one-unit home is completed, it is extremely easy, and the work is done at a low cost without any complicated operation.
By integrating the glide plates of the seismic isolation apparatus, they become one por6on of a formwork, and it is possible to cast concrete into it on site.
Consequently, one portion of the seismic isolation apparatus doubling as one porbon of the formwork for the concrete, a construction schedule is shortened.
By loading a waterproofing agent between the base and the glide plate of the seismic isolation apparatus disposed on the periphery, among the seismic isolation apparatus closely laid on the foundation concrete, there is protection from water encroaching inside the seismic isolation apparatus, causing corrosion, at a time of flooding due to rain.
Also, in a structure with the seismic isolation apparatus, by fumishing a movement un+t such as a lever bfock or a chain block, it is possible, after the upper foundafion concrete has moved due to an earthquake or the like, to return it to an original position with a simple structure, and at a low cost.
Furthermore, by providing a movement unit in which is inserted a sensor such as a load cell, which can measure a lateral force required for a movement, it is possible to regularly check a seismic isolation performance other than at a time of construction, and an increase in a reliability at a time of an earthquake occurring can be achieved.
In the seismic isolation structure, by providing a slope onto which the seismic isolation apparatus runs in the event of moving beyond a predetermined movement distance, as well as preventing an unforeseen movement of the building at a fime of an earthquake, and preventing damage or the like, it is possible to assure safety.

6 Also, by providing a seismic isolation floor formed leaving a movable range at one extremity side, forming a non-seismic isolation floor in contact with the wall on the side at which the movable range is feft, and forming the seismic isolation floor, using the seismic isofafion apparatus, in a por6on toward the center of the non-seismic isolation floor, it becomes possible to place fumiture or the like on a periphery of a floor surface, and it is possible to efFectively utilize an inside of a room.
Furthermore, in a case of applying the seismic isolation apparatus to a cash dispenser, an automatic vending machine, an item of fumiture, another instn.iment, or the like, by adding a damper, as a shock-absorbing material, between the seismic iso{ation subject and a wall surface with which there is a danger of a side surface or a back surface of the seismic isolation subject colliding at a time of an earthquake, damage such as a breakage is prevented at a time of an earthquake by the shock-absorbing material.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
A seismic isolation apparatus 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention, for example, is of a low friction combination structure formed by a point contact between an
9 approximately planar hard plate base 3, which has a surface on which are disposed convexly curved projections 2 of a uniform height, and a smooth, flat plate-like glide plate 4, as shown in Figs.1 to 3. At least three of the convexly curved projections 2 being formed, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, for example, they are distributed aligned at a pitch t of 50mm, but by disposing them aligned in a planar form at a pitch t in a range of 10mm~100mm, the hard plate base 3 acquires a more stable glide performance. In the embodiment, a height of the seismic isolation apparatus 1 is approximately 4mm.
The seismic isolation apparatus 1, as shown in Fig. 2, has the approximately planar hard plate base 3, which has the convexly curved projections 2, as a lower platform, and disposes the smooth, flat plate-like glide plate 4 on top thereof. The glide plate 4 is a movable body with a taper 4c, formed by a cambering process, on an under side of a peripheral edge portion thereof.
It is also acceptable that the convexly curved projections 2 are induded in a convexly curved plate 7, in which they are formed integrated into one por6on of the hard plate base 3, as shown in Fig.
4.
Also, as shown in Fig. 5A, in order to acquire a stable performance in a harsh environment, it is possible to apply a chemical resistant coating 2b, such as polyethylene, to the hard plate base 3 and the glide plate 4. Furthermore, it is also acceptable to cover the convexly curved projecbons 2 with a hard material 2c, such as a metal or a ceramic, as shown in Fig. 5B, and it is possible to obtain an even more stable glide performance by forming a surface hardening processed portion 2d, increasing a surface hardness of the convexly curved projections 2 and the glide plate 4, as shown in Fig. 5C. It is also possible to adopt a pressed steel plate, as shown in Fig. 5D.
The convexly curved projections 2, as shown in Figs. 6A to 6C, are press formed in the pressed steel plate in a staggered disposition or random disposition, or in a lattice disposition of bigger and smaller projections 2. Also, it is also acceptable that the convexly curved projections 2, as shown in Figs. 7A and 7B, are press processed into a form of continuous concave-convex surfaces, in which a radius of curvature r of a contact point is at least 30mm.
Although the steel plate is shaped by a pressing process in order to manufacture the convexly curved projections 2 at a low cost, in order to remove a warping caused by residual stress inside the steel plate due to the press shaping, intermittent slits 2a are formed in a circumferential direction in a peripheral portion of the convexly curved projections 2, as shown in Figs. 8A and 8B, maintaining a planarity of the hard plate base 3. As well as the convexly curved projections 2 exhibiting an elastic effect by having the intermittent slits 2a along a circumferential direction of a concentric circle on an exterior thereof, a number of parts is reduced, an intemal stress of the projections is released by the slits 2a at the time of the pressing process, and it is possible to maintain a planar accuracy of a whole of the plate.
The glide plate 4 is formed by affixing a fluoroethylene glide member 4b to a bottom surface of a hard plate 4a. A reference number 4d indicates an attachment for fibang the glide 5 member 4b. Also, a lubdcating oil or a lubricating grease, which is a viscous medium or a viscoelastic medium, being applied to a glide plate 4 side as a lubricating medium, for example, an oil 5 is applied. The oil 5 being, for example, one of a silicone oil, a grease, a heavy oil, a wax, or the like, it has a viscosity of 100cst or more, in order that it acts as an attenuation medium too.
The hard plate base 3 or the glide plate 4 uses as a material thereof a resin, a metal, a

The glide plate 4 is a movable body with a taper 4c, formed by a cambering process, on an under side of a peripheral edge portion thereof.
It is also acceptable that the convexly curved projections 2 are induded in a convexly curved plate 7, in which they are formed integrated into one por6on of the hard plate base 3, as shown in Fig.
4.
Also, as shown in Fig. 5A, in order to acquire a stable performance in a harsh environment, it is possible to apply a chemical resistant coating 2b, such as polyethylene, to the hard plate base 3 and the glide plate 4. Furthermore, it is also acceptable to cover the convexly curved projecbons 2 with a hard material 2c, such as a metal or a ceramic, as shown in Fig. 5B, and it is possible to obtain an even more stable glide performance by forming a surface hardening processed portion 2d, increasing a surface hardness of the convexly curved projections 2 and the glide plate 4, as shown in Fig. 5C. It is also possible to adopt a pressed steel plate, as shown in Fig. 5D.
The convexly curved projections 2, as shown in Figs. 6A to 6C, are press formed in the pressed steel plate in a staggered disposition or random disposition, or in a lattice disposition of bigger and smaller projections 2. Also, it is also acceptable that the convexly curved projections 2, as shown in Figs. 7A and 7B, are press processed into a form of continuous concave-convex surfaces, in which a radius of curvature r of a contact point is at least 30mm.
Although the steel plate is shaped by a pressing process in order to manufacture the convexly curved projections 2 at a low cost, in order to remove a warping caused by residual stress inside the steel plate due to the press shaping, intermittent slits 2a are formed in a circumferential direction in a peripheral portion of the convexly curved projections 2, as shown in Figs. 8A and 8B, maintaining a planarity of the hard plate base 3. As well as the convexly curved projections 2 exhibiting an elastic effect by having the intermittent slits 2a along a circumferential direction of a concentric circle on an exterior thereof, a number of parts is reduced, an intemal stress of the projections is released by the slits 2a at the time of the pressing process, and it is possible to maintain a planar accuracy of a whole of the plate.
The glide plate 4 is formed by affixing a fluoroethylene glide member 4b to a bottom surface of a hard plate 4a. A reference number 4d indicates an attachment for fibang the glide 5 member 4b. Also, a lubdcating oil or a lubricating grease, which is a viscous medium or a viscoelastic medium, being applied to a glide plate 4 side as a lubricating medium, for example, an oil 5 is applied. The oil 5 being, for example, one of a silicone oil, a grease, a heavy oil, a wax, or the like, it has a viscosity of 100cst or more, in order that it acts as an attenuation medium too.
The hard plate base 3 or the glide plate 4 uses as a material thereof a resin, a metal, a
10 glass, a stone, mortar, concrete, a ceramic, a hard rubber, wood, or the like. For example, any one of tetrafluoroethylene, polyacetal, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyvinyi chloride, nylon, ABS, polycarbonate, acryl, polyurethane, polyimide, polyester, polystyrene, melamine, or phenol is used as a resin.
Also, as a metal, a selection is made from a stainless steel plate, a steel plate, an aluminum plate, a tihanium plate, a zinc plate, a copper plate, a brass plate, a nickel plate, a thallium plate, a silver plate, a gold plate, a platinum plate, an indium plate, a barium plate, a plate of an alloy thereof, a plate processed with a plating thereof, or a plate processed with a coating thereof. Also, either one of granite or marble is used as a stone.
Either one of a plate glass or a convex glass is used as a glass. Any one of granite, marble, or a grinding processed slab thereof, is used as a stone.

In the fourth embodiment and this embodiment, as the convexly curved projections 2 are facing upward, even in the event that dust or the like encroaches into a gap in the seismic isolation apparatus 1, it does not happen that it falls into an interstitial space and that a friction coefficient increases.

By adopting the seismic isolation apparatus 1 with the kind of configuration of the heretofore described fourth embodiment and frfth embodiment, it is possible to easily adjust, making a thickness of the flooring material 6 and a height of the convexly curved projections 2 relatively higher or lower.
In the event of applying a fubricating medium, such as the oil 5 or a solid lubricating medium (carbon powder, molybdenum disuffide powder), to the convexly curved projections 2, it is also acceptable to adopt a configuration wherein the lubricating medium such as the oil 5 is induded in the convexly curved projecfions 2, and a foam 8 is fitted to an exterior side of a periphery of the projections, as shown in Figs. 13A and 13B. By so doing, by changing a material of the flooring material 6, it is possible to adjust the friction coefficient of the seismic isolation apparatus 1.
Figs. 14A, 14B and 14C showing a seismic isolation apparatus 1 a according to a s"ixth embodiment of the invention, the smooth, approximately planar glide plate 4 is made a lower platform, and the approximately planar hard plate base 3, which has convexly curved projections 2f, is placed thereon, making a movable body. The convexly curved projections 2f, as well as the oil 5 being included inside, have an 0-ring 9 fitted on a circumferential por6on, as shown in Figs. 14B and 14C. By this means, the oil 5 is supplied naturally to the smooth plane of the glide plane 4.
Also, Figs. 15A and 15B showing a seismic isolation apparatus lb according to a seventh embodiment of the invention, a space appearing between the hard plate base 3 and the planar glide plate 4, due to the hard convexly curved projections 2, being filled with the oil 5, such
12 as a grease or a wax, a periphery is sealed with a sealing material 12. As the sealing material, for example, grease or a wax can be used. By adopting such a configuration, rainwater not encroaching into the space between the hard plate base 3 and the planar glide plate 4 inside the apparatus when used in housing, or the like, the seismic isolation apparatus 1 b beoomes one which is highly durable.
Furthermore, as an embodiment relating to another configuration of the seismic isolation apparatus of the invention, it is possible to adopt a seismic isolation apparatus 1 c in which an elastic medium 11, such as rubber, is affixed to one of an upper surface or, as shown in Fig. 16, a lower surface of the hard plate base 3 and the planar glide plate 4 in a superimposed condition.
According to such a configuration, even in the event that there is some irregularity in a floor surface 14 or in a lower surface of a seismic isolation subject, the elastic medium 11 elas6cally deforms, absorbing an increase or decrease of the irregularity, when sliding forward or backward, left or right, in a horizontal diredion at a fime of an earthquake, and the apparatus glides smoothly.
Also, as shown in Figs. 17A and 17B, approximately the same kind of function is achieved by the convexly curved projections 2 forming one more convex ring 2g on a concentric cirde on the exterior thereof.
By making the heretofore described convexly curved projections 2 large projections, with the radius of curvature r being 30mm or more at an apex thereof, as shown in Figs. 18A and 18B, a biting of the convexly curved projections 2 into the glide plate is prevented, as a result of which, the fric6on coefficient becomes 0.2 or less, which is appropriate for the seismic isolation (refer to Table 1 below).
Table 1 Friction coefficient Radius of curvature r (mm) As a product aspect of the seismic isolation apparatus 1 before installing, as shown in Fig. 19A, as well as diagonally cutting comer por6ons 3a at four comers of the hard plate base 3, comer portions 4e of the glide plate 4 are also cut in the same way, to the same size, and the two are aifoced by a tape 13a at the comer portions 3a and 4e. By adopting such a product aspect, the hard plate base 3 and the glide plate 4 are combined, making the seismic isolafion apparatus 1 convenient for transportation.
The comer portions 3a and 4e being cut, and the tape 13a being affaed, in this way, it is efficient in an operation of laying on a floor surface because, as the tape 13a is removed after disposing the seismic isolation apparatus 1 on the floor surface, it is possible to lay the hard plate base 3. At this time, double-sided tape is affixed to one portion of a rear surface of the hard plate
Furthermore, as an embodiment relating to another configuration of the seismic isolation apparatus of the invention, it is possible to adopt a seismic isolation apparatus 1 c in which an elastic medium 11, such as rubber, is affixed to one of an upper surface or, as shown in Fig. 16, a lower surface of the hard plate base 3 and the planar glide plate 4 in a superimposed condition.
According to such a configuration, even in the event that there is some irregularity in a floor surface 14 or in a lower surface of a seismic isolation subject, the elastic medium 11 elas6cally deforms, absorbing an increase or decrease of the irregularity, when sliding forward or backward, left or right, in a horizontal diredion at a fime of an earthquake, and the apparatus glides smoothly.

Table 1 Friction coefficient Radius of curvature r (mm) As a product aspect of the seismic isolation apparatus 1 before installing, as shown in Fig. 19A, as well as diagonally cutting comer por6ons 3a at four comers of the hard plate base 3, comer portions 4e of the glide plate 4 are also cut in the same way, to the same size, and the two are aifoced by a tape 13a at the comer portions 3a and 4e. By adopting such a product aspect, the hard plate base 3 and the glide plate 4 are combined, making the seismic isolafion apparatus 1 convenient for transportation.
The comer portions 3a and 4e being cut, and the tape 13a being affaed, in this way, it is efficient in an operation of laying on a floor surface because, as the tape 13a is removed after disposing the seismic isolation apparatus 1 on the floor surface, it is possible to lay the hard plate base 3. At this time, double-sided tape is affixed to one portion of a rear surface of the hard plate
13 base 3, and it is attached to the floor surface in such a way that it does not move. As a method of laying on the floor surface, there is a case of apply'ing the sealing materia112 overall, as shown in Fig. 20A, and a case of sealing each hard plate base 3 with the sealing material 12.
Then, when linking adjoining glide plates 4 with a tape 13b, or the like, the presence of the heretofore described tapes 13a acting as a posi6oning of the glide plates 4, a linking operation is easy to perform. Then, after the linking of the glide plates 4, by inserbng a knife, or the like, into a space b created by bringing together the comer porfions 4e, and severing the tapes 13a, as shown in Fig. 19C, the fixing to the hard plate bases 3 is released, and the glide plates 4 become able to glide freely. Subsequently, the space b created by bringing together the comer portions 4e is covered by affixing a tape over it Figs. 21A and 21 B show one aspect of, laying the seismic isolation apparatus 1 in a room 10 and placing furniture and the like against a wall, effectively utilizing space in the room.
Using the seismic isolation apparatus 1 on the floor surface 14, with the exception of a predetermined area secured at one extremity, an OA floor 15 is formed thereon, with a support apparatus 15a in between. Meanwhile, a fumiture base 15b is formed fixed in a required range from a wall surFace 16, and a movement range P, over which the OA floor 15 can move at the fime of an earthquake, is secured between the fumiture base 15b and the OA
floor 15. The seismic isolation apparatus 1 is disposed on the fumiture base 15b in an area occupying approximately a haff of a center of the room, which is a range in which the fumiture is due to be placed. The flooring material 6 (refer to Figs. 11 A and 11 B), which exposes the convexly curved projections 2 of the hard plate base 3, is laid on the fumiture base 15b and the seismic isolation apparatus 1. A bridging glide plate 4f is installed from an upper surface of the flooring material 6 to a lower surface of the OA floor 15, and an extremity of the bridging glide plate 4f is fixed to a side edge portion of the OA floor 15. Then, a flooring material 6a is laid on the bridging glide plate 4f.
When the OA floor 15 moves due to a shaking at a time of an earthquake, the bridging glide plate 4f and the flooring material 6a laid thereon move freely in a space up to the wall surface 16. In the event of laying the seismic isolation apparatus 1 directly on the floor surface
Then, when linking adjoining glide plates 4 with a tape 13b, or the like, the presence of the heretofore described tapes 13a acting as a posi6oning of the glide plates 4, a linking operation is easy to perform. Then, after the linking of the glide plates 4, by inserbng a knife, or the like, into a space b created by bringing together the comer porfions 4e, and severing the tapes 13a, as shown in Fig. 19C, the fixing to the hard plate bases 3 is released, and the glide plates 4 become able to glide freely. Subsequently, the space b created by bringing together the comer portions 4e is covered by affixing a tape over it Figs. 21A and 21 B show one aspect of, laying the seismic isolation apparatus 1 in a room 10 and placing furniture and the like against a wall, effectively utilizing space in the room.
Using the seismic isolation apparatus 1 on the floor surface 14, with the exception of a predetermined area secured at one extremity, an OA floor 15 is formed thereon, with a support apparatus 15a in between. Meanwhile, a fumiture base 15b is formed fixed in a required range from a wall surFace 16, and a movement range P, over which the OA floor 15 can move at the fime of an earthquake, is secured between the fumiture base 15b and the OA
floor 15. The seismic isolation apparatus 1 is disposed on the fumiture base 15b in an area occupying approximately a haff of a center of the room, which is a range in which the fumiture is due to be placed. The flooring material 6 (refer to Figs. 11 A and 11 B), which exposes the convexly curved projections 2 of the hard plate base 3, is laid on the fumiture base 15b and the seismic isolation apparatus 1. A bridging glide plate 4f is installed from an upper surface of the flooring material 6 to a lower surface of the OA floor 15, and an extremity of the bridging glide plate 4f is fixed to a side edge portion of the OA floor 15. Then, a flooring material 6a is laid on the bridging glide plate 4f.
When the OA floor 15 moves due to a shaking at a time of an earthquake, the bridging glide plate 4f and the flooring material 6a laid thereon move freely in a space up to the wall surface 16. In the event of laying the seismic isolation apparatus 1 directly on the floor surface
14, it is covered with a protective sheet 18 that is wider than the glide plate 4 of the seismic isolation apparatus 1 at an extremity, as shown in Fig. 22. As the seismic isolation apparatus 1 has a height of around 4mm, unevenness is barely noticeable.
In order to place an item of fumiture 17 on the fumiture base 15b, as shown in Fig. 21 B, a hard plate base 3b is duplicatively laid in a position directly above the hard plate base 3 which, being on the bridging glide plate 4f, is laid on the fumiture base 15b, facing in the same vertical direction. Alhough it is also possible to use the hard plate base 3b reversed vertically, as it is preferable to arrange in such a way that dust does not collect on a glide surface when considering the encroachment of dust and the like, it is preferable to arrange in such a way that it faces in the same direction, in the way heretofore described, in order that the convexly curved projections 2 face upward.
The bridging glide plate 4f takes on a condifion in which it is sandwiched by the hard plate bases 3 and 3b. Then, the flooring material 6 (refer to Figs. 11 A and 11 B), which exposes the convexly curved projections 2, is laid on the hard plate base 3b, and a bottom plate 17a is laid thereon, in a fumiture installation range. An extremity of the bottom plate 17a that comes into contact with the wall surface 16 is supported by a supporting member 15c.
The item of fumiture 17 is placed on the bottom plate 17a. By making a shape of the bottom plate 17a the same as the item of fumiture 17, or slightly smaller, a resulting appearance will be attractive. The item of fumfture 17 is fixed to the wall surface 16, and does not move. At a 6me of an earthquake, the OA floor 15 moves freely with respect to the floor surface 14, and the glide plate 4 fixed to the OA floor 15 moves freely at the same time. The hard plate base 3b installed on the bridging glide plate 4f also, being integrated, moves freely at the same time.
By so doing, the seismic isolation apparatus 1 of the invenfion is laid integrally on the floor surface 14, the hard plate base 3 is laid on the floor surface 14 in the movement range P, and the fumiture base 15b is installed corresponding to a range required for a fumfture placement site.
A space at least equivalent to the movement range at a time of an earthquake being secured between an exterior extremity of the bridging glide plate 4f and the wall surface 16, the fumfture bottom plate 17a is laid on the duplicatively laid hard plate bases 3 and 3b, and the floor surface 14, or the supporting member 15c erected from the fumiture base 15b, is provided on a wall side extremity of the bottom plate 17a. Thus, at a time of an earthquake, the bridging glide plate 4f moves along with the floor 15 on the seismic isolation apparatus 1 laid on the floor surface 14, exercising a seismic isolation effect.
Figs. 23A and 23B show a case of applying the seismic isolation apparatus to a cash dispenser, an automatic vending machine, an item of fumiture, another instrument, or the like, as a seismic isolated strudure 20 which has the seismic isolation apparatus 1 according to the invention. A damper 18a is provided, as a shock-absorbing material at a time of a collision, between the seismic isolated structure 20, and a wall 18b of a building, or the like, with which there is a danger of a side surface or a back surface of the seismic isolated structure 20 colliding at a fime of an earthquake.
The seismic isolation apparatus 1 is laid on a base 18d, an instrument such as an automatic vending machine is installed thereon, and a material which absorbs a shock when colliding with the wall 18b, for example, an air pump type damper 18a, is provided on a back surface of a seismic isolated structure, such as the automatic vending machine. By so doing, as 5 shown in Fig. 23C, although it can move for an instant, at a time of an earthquake, because a friction coefficient is low due to the seismic isolation apparatus 1, as the dumper 18a is attached, this does not extend to a damage such as a breakage.
Also, as shown in Fig. 23D, by sandwiching the damper 18a between viscoelastic media 18c and 18c, affDdng one of them to the back surface of the automatic vending machine aligned 10 with a position of a height of an approximate center of gravity thereof, affixing the other to the wall side, and fixing them, it is possible to prevent the automatic vending machine from failing over.
Thus, by affaing the viscoelastic medium 18c aligned with the position of the height of the approximate center of gravity of the seismic isolated structure, the wall is protected without an excessive burden being imposed on the wall surrace side, and without damage such as a peeling
In order to place an item of fumiture 17 on the fumiture base 15b, as shown in Fig. 21 B, a hard plate base 3b is duplicatively laid in a position directly above the hard plate base 3 which, being on the bridging glide plate 4f, is laid on the fumiture base 15b, facing in the same vertical direction. Alhough it is also possible to use the hard plate base 3b reversed vertically, as it is preferable to arrange in such a way that dust does not collect on a glide surface when considering the encroachment of dust and the like, it is preferable to arrange in such a way that it faces in the same direction, in the way heretofore described, in order that the convexly curved projections 2 face upward.
The bridging glide plate 4f takes on a condifion in which it is sandwiched by the hard plate bases 3 and 3b. Then, the flooring material 6 (refer to Figs. 11 A and 11 B), which exposes the convexly curved projections 2, is laid on the hard plate base 3b, and a bottom plate 17a is laid thereon, in a fumiture installation range. An extremity of the bottom plate 17a that comes into contact with the wall surface 16 is supported by a supporting member 15c.
The item of fumiture 17 is placed on the bottom plate 17a. By making a shape of the bottom plate 17a the same as the item of fumiture 17, or slightly smaller, a resulting appearance will be attractive. The item of fumfture 17 is fixed to the wall surface 16, and does not move. At a 6me of an earthquake, the OA floor 15 moves freely with respect to the floor surface 14, and the glide plate 4 fixed to the OA floor 15 moves freely at the same time. The hard plate base 3b installed on the bridging glide plate 4f also, being integrated, moves freely at the same time.
By so doing, the seismic isolation apparatus 1 of the invenfion is laid integrally on the floor surface 14, the hard plate base 3 is laid on the floor surface 14 in the movement range P, and the fumiture base 15b is installed corresponding to a range required for a fumfture placement site.
A space at least equivalent to the movement range at a time of an earthquake being secured between an exterior extremity of the bridging glide plate 4f and the wall surface 16, the fumfture bottom plate 17a is laid on the duplicatively laid hard plate bases 3 and 3b, and the floor surface 14, or the supporting member 15c erected from the fumiture base 15b, is provided on a wall side extremity of the bottom plate 17a. Thus, at a time of an earthquake, the bridging glide plate 4f moves along with the floor 15 on the seismic isolation apparatus 1 laid on the floor surface 14, exercising a seismic isolation effect.
Figs. 23A and 23B show a case of applying the seismic isolation apparatus to a cash dispenser, an automatic vending machine, an item of fumiture, another instrument, or the like, as a seismic isolated strudure 20 which has the seismic isolation apparatus 1 according to the invention. A damper 18a is provided, as a shock-absorbing material at a time of a collision, between the seismic isolated structure 20, and a wall 18b of a building, or the like, with which there is a danger of a side surface or a back surface of the seismic isolated structure 20 colliding at a fime of an earthquake.
The seismic isolation apparatus 1 is laid on a base 18d, an instrument such as an automatic vending machine is installed thereon, and a material which absorbs a shock when colliding with the wall 18b, for example, an air pump type damper 18a, is provided on a back surface of a seismic isolated structure, such as the automatic vending machine. By so doing, as 5 shown in Fig. 23C, although it can move for an instant, at a time of an earthquake, because a friction coefficient is low due to the seismic isolation apparatus 1, as the dumper 18a is attached, this does not extend to a damage such as a breakage.
Also, as shown in Fig. 23D, by sandwiching the damper 18a between viscoelastic media 18c and 18c, affDdng one of them to the back surface of the automatic vending machine aligned 10 with a position of a height of an approximate center of gravity thereof, affixing the other to the wall side, and fixing them, it is possible to prevent the automatic vending machine from failing over.
Thus, by affaing the viscoelastic medium 18c aligned with the position of the height of the approximate center of gravity of the seismic isolated structure, the wall is protected without an excessive burden being imposed on the wall surrace side, and without damage such as a peeling
15 off occurring.
Figs. 24A and 24B show a case in which the seismic isolated structure 20 that has the seismic isolation apparatus 1 according to the invention is a building. The seismic isolation apparatus 1 is disposed placed on one porbon, or a whole, of planar surfaced lower foundation concrete 21. It is acceptable that a height of the lower foundation concrete 21 differs partially, as shown in Figs. 25A and 25B. Also, in a case of a high-rise seismic isolated strucfiure 20, as an axial force of pillars 20a is large, the seismic isolation apparatus 1 is provided distributing stress through beams 20b and slabs 20c, as shown in Figs. 26A and 26B.

16 Also, as it can happen that rainwater encroaches into the foundation, in only peripheral seismic isolation apparatus 1, 1a, ... among the seismic isolation apparatus 1 installed on the lower foundation concrete 21, a waterproofing agent is loaded into a space between the vertically aligned hard plate base 3 and the glide plate 4 of the seismic isolation apparatus 1a, integrating them, as shown in Fig. 28. As the waterproofing agent, there is, for example, a gel-type waterproofing agent or a sol-type waterproofing agent By this means, the stn.icture becomes waterproofed, and acts as a way of preventing corrosion of the seismic isolation apparatus 1.
Furthermore, a coupling fixing unit 26 is provided in an appropriate place on an extremity surface of the lower foundation concrete 21, as shown in Fig. 29.

Furthermore, the seismic isolation apparatus 1 are installed on one portion, or the whole, of the lower foundation concrete 21.
In the installafion of the seismic isolation apparatus 1 on the lower foundation concrete 21, joints are sealed by affixing the glide plates 4, 4 of the seismic isolation apparatus 1 with adhesive tape, integrating them. Ready-mixed concrete is cast vvith the integrated glide plates 4 as a lower formwork, as shown at the top of Fig. 32, or the precast concrete slabs 22a are made a size such that four comers meet at the approximate central point of the seismic isolation apparatus, and slabs integrated by joining them together with bofts are installed on the previously described integrated glide plates 4, with the adhesive agent in between.
With the cast and hardened concrete or the precast concrete slabs 22a as one portion of the formwork, the foundation A of the building is formed, and the seismic isolated structure 20 is constructed, as shown at the bottom of Fig. 32. By so doing, it is possible to construct the seismic isolated structure 20, such as a one-unit home, a small or medium-sized ferroconcrete structure, or a super high-rise building, with a simple operating procedure, without any troublesome work, and with a high operafing effficiency.
Figs. 33A and 33B show a case in which the seismic isolated structure 20 is an oil tank 30. It can be easily formed by installing the oil tank 30 on the seismic isolation apparatus 1 laid on a base. It is common for a heretofore known oil tank or natural gas tank to be of a semi-underground type, as shown in Fig. 33C, in order to avoid container damage caused by a sloshing phenomenon at a time of an earthquake. By adopting a seismic isolation oil tank or a seismic isolation natural gas tank constructed on the seismic isolation apparatus 1, it is possible to reduce huge underground excavation costs and waste soil disposal costs.
