buildings, machines and industrial manufacturing instruments, a
fundamental shock eliminator is always provided. A conventional
foundation shock eliminator in accordance with prior art is
generally mounted under the foundation of machines or buildings and
substantially comprises an upper base, a lower base and a roller.
Two concave inner surfaces are defined respectively in the upper
base and the lower base and face to each other. The roller is
rotatably mounted inside the concave inner surfaces of the upper
base and the lower base. In addition, a damping device is mounted
between the upper base, the lower base and the roller and is made

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0038] With reference to FIG. 1, a foundation shock eliminator in
accordance with the present invention can be used to diminish shock
transmitted to manufacturing machines in electronics factories,
such as wafer manufacturing factories and hospital instruments and
can be applied between a raised floor (60) and a concrete floor
(50).
[0039] The foundation shock eliminator in accordance with the
present invention comprises an upper base (20), a lower base (10),
at least one roller (30), a damping device (40) and a static
supporting device (12).
[0040] The upper base (20) and the lower base (10) have
respectively concave inner surfaces (21,11) and flat outer
surfaces. The concave inner surfaces (11,21) face each other.
[0041] The at least one roller (30) can be a ball or a cylindrical
rod and is movably mounted between the concave inner surfaces
(11,21).
[0042] The damping device (40) is mounted on at least one of the
upper base (20), the lower base (10) and the at least one roller
(30) and can be made of rubber, plastic, viscoelastic materials,
frictional materials or materials with an excellent damping
coefficient. In the first embodiment, the damping device (40) is at
least one coating layer (40A) coated around the roller (30).
[0043] The static supporting device (12) is mounted between the
upper base (20) and the lower base (10) and comprises multiple
supporting members. Each supporting member comprises a rigid
supporting ball (12A) and a supporting tab (22). The supporting
ball (12A) is made of a rigid material. Multiple recesses (13) are
defined in the top of the lower base (10) to respectively hold the
supporting balls (12A) inside. The supporting tabs (22) are
attached to the bottom of the upper base (20) and respectively
correspond to and abut with the supporting balls (12A). The
supporting tabs (22) can be made of a rigid material, such as metal
or a resilient material.
[0044] Before shock or vibration being applied to the shock
eliminator, the weight of the upper base (20) and the object, such
as a raised floor (60) mounted on the upper base (20) are supported
by the supporting members of the static supporting device (12).
