Application led August 18,1921: Serial No. 493,474al` e" To all whom 'it may concern.'
Be it known that I, THEoDbRE C. ROBERTS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, county andv State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Suspension Devices for Vibratory Structures, .of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, 1s a specification.
This invention relates to a supporting or suspending means for vibratory or other mobile structures, and with particular reference to a suspension means for the electric motor of a commercial dic'tating miachine of the dictaphone`type.
An object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive means ofconnecting two structures so that any movement of the one will not be transmitted to the other, but will be absorbed in the connection means.
lAnotherobject ,is to provide such Va structure as can be ,assembled and mountedin the easiest and quickest possible manner; and one that will be most durablein use.
A further Object is to Simplify the' com. vstruction -of such a device by providing standard parts, a plurality of which, may bev assembled and used in interlocking relation in each device.
`With these 'and other Objects in View, one form of the invention, as applied to a specific use,is shown in the accompanying drawiings, and this will'be hereinafter more fully described with reference thereto, and the invention finally pointed out inclaims.
In the drawings- F `g. l is a perspective view of'a dictaphone, showing the top' raised and exposaccording to .this invention;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one ofthe Y ltwo hook members forming a partof the dethe hook members. e

.the supporting plate 18 ofthe The lower member 11, Fig. 4:, is'identicalis` relatively longer than the Fig. 6 is a similar view, showing the lower -hook member partially assembled to the up,- per member;
Fig. 7 is a like perspective View of the completely assembled device; and
Flg. 8 1s a vertical sectional View, partly in elevation, of one of the. devices, being taken along the line 8 8 of Fig. 1.
Similar reference characters indicatenorresponding parts throughoutlthe several figures ofthe drawing. l" s Referring tothe drawings, 4the device commembers 10 and 1 1` (Figs. 2 and 4) in form of U-,shaped hooks. ber 10, Fig.' 2, consists of tions, posed in parallel relation, and'conne'cted by a portion 14 disposed at right anglesthereto. The portion 12 projects beyond the portions 13 and 14 at one side, formingan overhanging ledge 15; and centrally of theportion 12, thereis provided ja threaded stud 16 riveted in place, as show-n inLFig. 8, and adapted to be securedto the'boss 17 at the The upper memflat spaced porictaphone. inform with the upper member 10, and con.- sists of parallel portions 19, and 20, aconnecting portion 21, and a projecting portion 12 and 13, of rectangular form, disi "Ili/ nder side of 22 on the portion 19. A threaded stud 23 Ais also secured centrally of the portion 19, but stud 16, or member 10, 'and has a kerf 24 cut in its end.
A resilient, vibration -absorbing pad is.-
lar'lapted to lbe interposed between the` members in their interlocking relation, this pad being of right-angleformfand comprising three vsquare This pad-may be formed of rubber, lt, fabricized rubber, or other suitable' resilient material pand may', in yadd1t1on,'or 1n place'of its function of provid;v
ing a vibration insulator, 'falsoinsulate the supporting from thev Asupported structure,- electrically or thermally, in which case fibre, asbestos, or any other suitable material may be employed. Rubber is an example of a Jmaterial that combines the three characterand thermalinsulatin istics of being resilient, electric insulating, In mounting theyevice to support the andl integral portions 25, 26, l and k27 (Fig. 3).
