FIG. 1 , a foundation shock eliminator in accordance with the present invention can be used to diminish shock transmitted to manufacturing machines in electronics factories, such as wafer manufacturing factories and hospital instruments and can be applied between a raised floor (60) and a concrete floor (50). - The foundation shock eliminator in accordance with the present invention comprises an upper base (20), a lower base (10), at least one roller (30), a damping device (40) and a static supporting device (12).
- The upper base (20) and the lower base (10) have respectively concave inner surfaces (21,11) and flat outer surfaces. The concave inner surfaces (11,21) face each other.
- The at least one roller (30) can be a ball or a cylindrical rod and is movably mounted between the concave inner surfaces (11,21).
- The damping device (40) is mounted on at least one of the upper base (20), the lower base (10) and the at least one roller (30) and can be made of rubber, plastic, viscoelastic materials, frictional materials or materials with an excellent damping coefficient. In the first embodiment, the damping device (40) is at least one coating layer (40A) coated around the roller (30).
- The static supporting device (12) is mounted between the upper base (20) and the lower base (10) and comprises multiple supporting members. Each supporting member comprises a rigid supporting ball (12A) and a supporting tab (22). The supporting ball (12A) is made of a rigid material.

- Before shock or vibration being applied to the shock eliminator, the weight of the upper base (20) and the object, such as a raised floor (60) mounted on the upper base (20) are supported by the supporting members of the static supporting device (12). Therefore, the damping device (40) mounted between the concave inner surfaces (11,21) and the roller (30) can be kept from being worn or became compression set to dissipate shock energy efficiently. Accordingly, the foundation shock eliminator in accordance with the present invention has a durable structure, and the useful life of the foundation shock eliminator is prolonged.
- When earthquake occurs or vibration applied to the shock eliminator, shock energy will be efficiently dissipated with the movement of the lower base (10) relative to the upper base (20), the rotation of the roller (30) inside the concave inner surfaces (11,21) and the damping device (40). After the earthquake stops, the lower base (10) and the roller (30) will move to original positions with the arrangement of the concave inner surfaces (11,21).
