Abstract
Vibration isolation apparatus in which the vibration-protected portion thereof is supported by the vibration-prone portion through the medium of a vertically-actuable multiaxis joint assembly that affords 3.degree. of angular freedom. In one embodiment the joint assembly also affords 2.degree. of translational freedom, and in another such translational freedom is introduced at the support for such assembly. Suitably controlled actuators between the two apparatus portions actively isolate a range of vibration frequencies in 6.degree. of freedom. A spring support means for the protected portion offers passive isolation vertically.
