Abstract
A mount for a compressor or the like which sits on a base includes a top surface which is securable to the base. The top surface defines a well having a floor. An opening is formed in the bottom of the floor and a shaft extends from beneath the well floor to above the upper surface. The shaft includes a lower flange positioned below the well floor and an upper flange positioned above the top surface. A spring is positioned between said well floor and the top flange to absorb vibrations and any resulting shock produced by the compressor. A pair of upwardly extending generally perpendicular walls are provided on the upper surface to prevent the spring from engaging the upper surface or deflecting excessively. The walls and the upper flange are sized such that when the shaft moves with respect to the well, the upper flange will contact the wall before the spring contacts the upper surface or deflects excessively.
