Abstract

See full text

Systems, devices, and methods of protecting sensitive equipment against vibrations, mechanical shocks, and earthquakes. A support device includes a lower fixed or non-moving frame, and an upper movable frame. The two frames are connected via four dampers, at or near their four corners; and also by four generally-vertical cables or wires that together with the supported device operate as an inverted pendulum or an upside-down pendulum in response to incoming vibrations or applied forces. The dampers, as well as the inverted pendulum created by the cables, dissipate and absorb vibration energy and mechanical shocks. Optionally, the entirety of the support device has not more than four dampers. Optionally, the entirety of the support device has or not more than eight dampers, wherein four of the eight dampers are not connected to the vertical cables, and four other of the eight dampers are connected to lower ends of the four vertical cables.
