US3749340A — Mounting assembly for looms and the like

Claim 1

Independent Claim 143 words

An assembly for mounting looms and the like to control the vibration thereof during operation, comrpising a first plate adapted to support a loom foot on one surface thereof, a second plate positioned beneath said first plate, and resilient means positioned between and interconnecting said first and second plates, said resilient means comprising at least one grommet attached to said first and second plates by a pair of independent studs which are embedded therein and protrude vertically therefrom, said first and second plates being attached to said grommet by engagement of said plates with said studs, whereby said first plate and a loom supported thereon are permitted to vibrate in a plane parallel to said second plate, and bearing means positioned between said first and second plates to provide a surface for said first plate to slide across when such loom is operated.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 143 words

An assembly for mounting looms and the like to control the vibration thereof during operation, comrpising a first plate adapted to support a loom foot on one surface thereof, a second plate positioned beneath said first plate, and resilient means positioned between and interconnecting said first and second plates, said resilient means comprising at least one grommet attached to said first and second plates by a pair of independent studs which are embedded therein and protrude vertically therefrom, said first and second plates being attached to said grommet by engagement of said plates with said studs, whereby said first plate and a loom supported thereon are permitted to vibrate in a plane parallel to said second plate, and bearing means positioned between said first and second plates to provide a surface for said first plate to slide across when such loom is operated.

Claim 3

Dependent Claim 21 words

The assembly of claim 1 in which said bearing means are formed of a material having a low coefficient of friction.

Claim 4

Dependent Claim 14 words

The assembly of claim 2 in which said bearing means are formed of polytetrafluoroethylene.

Claim 5

Dependent Claim 19 words

The assembly of claim 1 in which said first plate includes a coating of abrasive on one surface thereof.

Claim 6

Dependent Claim 25 words

The assembly of claim 1 in which a shim is positioned between said resilient means and said second plate to accommodate machines of different weights.

Claim 7

Dependent Claim 34 words

The assembly of claim 1 including vibration pads positioned underneath said second plate adjacent the ends thereof to support the same and to assist in dampening vertical vibrations produced by operation of the loom.

Claim 8

Dependent Claim 125 words

An assembly for mounting looms and the like to control vibrations produced during opration, comprising a first plate adapted to support a loom foot on the upper surface thereof, a second plate positioned beneath said first plate, a pair of resilient grommets attached to and positioned between said first and second plates adjacent the ends thereof to interconnect said first and second plates and to support said first plate in operative position, said grommets including independent studs embedded therein and protruding vertically therefrom and attached to said first and second plates by engagement of said studs with said plates, and bearing means positioned between said first and second plates to provide a surface for said first plate to slide across when such loom is operated.

Claim 9

Dependent Claim 125 words

An assembly for mounting looms and the like to control vibrations produced during opration, comprising a first plate adapted to support a loom foot on the upper surface thereof, a second plate positioned beneath said first plate, a pair of resilient grommets attached to and positioned between said first and second plates adjacent the ends thereof to interconnect said first and second plates and to support said first plate in operative position, said grommets including independent studs embedded therein and protruding vertically therefrom and attached to said first and second plates by engagement of said studs with said plates, and bearing means positioned between said first and second plates to provide a surface for said first plate to slide across when such loom is operated.

Claim 10

Dependent Claim 19 words

The assembly of claim 7 in which said first plate includes a coating of abrasive on its upper surface.

Claim 11

Dependent Claim 64 words

The assembly of claim 1 in said resilient means comprise a single rubber grommet positioned between and attached to said first and second plates substantially centrally of the length of said plates, and bearing means positioned between said first and second plates on opposite sides of said grommet to provide a surface for said first plate to slide across when such loom is operated.

Claim 12

Dependent Claim 26 words

The assembly of claim 7 in which said grommets are rubber and said bearing means are formed of a material having a low coefficient of friction.

Claim 13

Dependent Claim 25 words

The assembly of claim 7 in which a shim is positioned between said resilient means and said second plate to accommodate looms of different weight.

Claim 14

Dependent Claim 34 words

The assembly of claim 7 including vibration pads positioned underneath said second plate adjacent the ends thereof to support the same and to assist in dampening vertical vibrations produced by operation of the loom.
