Abstract
Isolation mountings extend in a common plane and the axis of the overhung or cantilevered load is perpendicular to that plane. The isolation mountings are located in recesses formed in the base plate alone or in both the base plate and mounting plate. Where the recesses are solely located in the base plate, installation may simply be placing a washered or large headed screw serially through the isolator, the base plate and threading the screw into the mounting plate or motor shell which remains separated from the base plate. This will be repeated for each isolator. If recesses are located in both the base plate and mounting plate or motor shell, installation simply requires placing the two bottom isolation mountings into the corresponding recesses in the base plate and mounting plate or motor shell. Then where there are upper recesses in the base plate and mounting plate or motor shell, an isolation mounting is placed in one of the recesses and compressed while the recesses and isolation mounting are moved into register. It should be noted that the other isolation mountings, being in the same plane and opposite thereto, will also tend to be compressed as the upper isolation mounting is compressed. The compression of the isolation mounting can be performed by any suitable means such as through the use of a tool which acts as a ramp or sloped surface for compressing the upper isolation mounting. When the upper isolation mounting passes the end of the ramp it is received in the other recess with at least a partial reduction of the compression of the isolation mountings in the installed position.
