Vibration-dampening support for an HVAC unit
The vibration-dampening support for an HVAC unit is configured for use with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. The vibration-dampening support for an HVAC unit is a pedestal structure that forms a load path that transfers the load of the HVAC equipment to a supporting surface. The vibration-dampening support for an HVAC unit is an elastic structure. The elastic nature of the vibration-dampening support for an HVAC unit protects the HVAC equipment by absorbing vibrations generated by the HVAC equipment. The vibration-dampening support for an HVAC unit comprises a pedestal plate, a spring housing, a mounting tube, and a compression spring. The spring housing contains the compression spring. The pedestal plate and the mounting tube attach to the spring housing.

OBJECT LEVELING AND SUPPORTING DEVICE
Disclosed is a system for leveling an object, e.g., cabinet, bathroom divider, using a system that is contained in a box that is splitable into two symmetrical halves. Each half has a clutch operated vertically-adjustable support member with a threaded upper end. Extension members of various lengths can be used to accommodate the need for different supporting heights. Regardless of whether an extension member is used or not, a clutch release allows the support to be raised to approximately the right height on each side underneath the object, and then a thumb-screw operated system allows for fine tuning. The system can be used to support and level heavy objects by a single worker.

Seismic retention assembly for weigh module and method
A seismic retention assembly for retaining equipment supported on weigh modules in place during and after a seismic event. The assembly includes a seismic bracket with a mounting plate and a flange that extends beyond the weigh module, and with a retention aperture formed through the flange, located adjacent to the equipment. A retention fastener includes a nut fixed to the equipment in alignment with the aperture, and also a bolt that passes through the aperture and engages the nut. Clearance between the bolt and the aperture enables unimpeded operation of the weigh module during normal use, but limits movement during a seismic event.
SUPPORT FOR HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE, AND HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE
A support for household appliance comprises a hydraulic plate; a sheath connected with the hydraulic plate; a regulating support in the sheath; an accommodation chamber formed by the hydraulic plate, the sheath and the regulating support; and a flexible accommodation body, which accommodates a liquid medium and is arranged in the accommodation chamber. The flexible accommodation body extends and retracts to drive the regulating support to axially move in the sheath for leveling under action of pressure; and the sheath and/or the regulating support are/is provided with a guiding limiting mechanism for limiting the circumferential rotation of the regulating support relative to the sheath. A yielding part corresponding to the guiding limiting mechanism is formed in the hydraulic plate. The overall height of the support for household appliance is lowered, and the stability of shock absorption of the support for household appliance is improved.
Foot for household appliance, and household appliance
A foot for a household appliance includes a hydraulic plate, a sheath connected with the hydraulic plate, an adjustable foot arranged in the sheath and axially moveable relative to the sheath, and a device for communicating the flow of a hydraulic medium between at least two feet of the household appliance. An accommodating chamber is formed by the hydraulic plate, the sheath and the adjustable foot; the hydraulic medium is arranged in the accommodating chamber, and the hydraulic medium is compressed or expanded along with the change of pressure to drive the adjustable foot to move axially in the sheath for leveling. A control device for turning on/off the flow of the hydraulic medium is provided on the communicating device, a better leveling support effect is achieved by controlling the on/off of the communicating device.

Method of installing a turbine assembly using a modular support member
A method of installing a turbine assembly is provided. The method includes assembling a support member for supporting a turbine assembly during installation. The support member includes a platform having a plurality of modular platform components oriented to define an upper surface of the platform. The method also includes positioning a linear actuator on the upper surface of the platform. The method further includes positioning a column on the linear actuator. The method includes lifting the turbine assembly onto the column. The platform, the linear actuator, and the column are sized to support the turbine assembly.
SUPPORTING PLATFORM, ROTATING MACHINE UNIT, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ROTATING MACHINE UNIT
A supporting platform which supports a rotating machine on a base, includes: a pair of supporting bodies which is provided on the base to be separated from each other in a horizontal direction; a supporting column which is provided on the supporting body, extends upward in a vertical direction, and supports a supporting target portion provided in the rotating machine; an outer adjustment member which supports the supporting body on the base and adjusts a height of the supporting body with respect to the base; and an inner adjustment member which is disposed inside the outer adjustment member in a separation direction of the pair of supporting bodies, supports the supporting body on the base, and adjusts the height of the supporting body with respect to the base.
