Patent ID: 7290759

Claim:
Apparatus including a vibration damping plinth for isolating equipment positioned on said plinth from external vibration in more than one plane, said apparatus comprising: a hollow framework including a bottom and sides extending upwardly from said bottom, at least two viscoelastic members laterally positioned in spaced relation on an inside of said hollow framework bottom, an intermediate plinth mounted on top of said at least two viscoelastic members and in spaced relation to said sides of said hollow framework, at least two additional viscoelastic members positioned in spaced relation on top of said intermediate plinth, a top plinth positioned on top of said at least two additional viscoelastic members in spatial relation to said sides of said apparatus, said top plinth having a substantially flat top surface and being sized to accept an entire electronic component case thereon, and said at least two viscoelastic members being compressed in height substantially evenly across their top surfaces a predetermined amount corresponding to a weight greater than the weight of equipment to be positioned on top of said plinth.
