Abstract:
A columnic actuated spring loader can be incorporated into existing structures. The system includes: a base that is positioned on a floor, a vertical column having a proximal end that is secured to the base and a distal end, dual vertical rods having proximal ends that are secured to the base and distal ends, and upper and lower spring mechanisms. The distal ends of the column and rods support an upper bearing plate. Each spring mechanism includes a support member that is slidably secured to the dual vertical rods, dual springs that are slidably attached to the dual rods, and bracing which is a network of rigid members that interconnect the support member, column and dual rods. Loads are transferred from the upper bearing plate and support plates to the base. The energy is dissipated into the foundation. The bracings distribute energy between the dual rods and the column.

Claim (Index 16):
A columnic earthquake reinforcement device for buildings that comprises:\n a base that is configured to be positioned on a floor the building; a vertical column having a proximal end that is secured to the base and a distal end; a first vertical rod having a proximal end that is secured to the base and a distal end; a second vertical rod having a proximal end that is secured to the base and a distal end; and an upper spring mechanism that comprises:\n an upper bearing plate that is slidably mounted on the distal ends of the vertical column, first vertical rod and second vertical rod;\n a first support member that is slidably secured to the first vertical rod and second vertical rod; \n \n a first spring, which is slidably attached to the first vertical rod, and that is positioned between the first support member and upper slip plate; \n a second spring, which is slidably attached to the second vertical rod, and that is positioned between the first support member and the upper slip plate; and \n an upper network of rigid members that interconnect the first support member, vertical column and first and second vertical rods; and \n a lower spring mechanism that comprises:\n a lower slip plate that is slidably mounted to the vertical column, first vertical rod, and second vertical rod, wherein the lower slip plate is positioned below the upper network; \n a lower support member that is slidably secured to the first and second vertical rods; \n a lower first spring, which is slidably attached to the first vertical rod, and that is positioned between the lower support member and the lower slip plate; \n a lower second spring, which is slidably attached to the second vertical rod, and that is positioned between the lower support member and the lower slip plate; and \n a lower network of rigid members that interconnect the first support member, vertical column and first and second vertical rods.
