  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • With reference to 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.
