Abstract
A suspension system for a motor-compressor unit suspended within a hermetically sealed shell includes a plurality of rigid anchoring members secured to the motor-compressor unit at approximately the center of gravity of the mass defined thereby and to a connecting member permanently secured to the shell. Individual springs are attached to each of the anchoring members for yieldably suspending the motor-compressor unit within the shell. A retainer member is provided in spaced relation to each of the anchoring members. A resilient member is disposed in the space defined between the anchoring member and retaining member and is slightly under compression when the motor-compressor unit is at rest. The resilient member is further compressed to limit motion of said motor-compressor unit in a vertical direction, and in an angular direction about the horizontal and vertical axes of said unit.
