Rocking Hinge Bearing System For Isolating Structures From Dynamic/Seismic Loads
US Patent:
2004007, Apr 15, 2004
Filed:
Oct 15, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/271359
Inventors:
Richard Osmun - Denver CO, US
International Classification:
F16C041/00
US Classification:
384/036000
Abstract:
A rocking hinge bearing system is provided. The rocking hinge bearing system comprises a first base plate, a second base plate, and a compressible member. A pintle mechanism aligns the first base plate, the second base plate and the compressible member and prevents relative horizontal movement between the first base plate, the second base plate and the compressible member. A tensioning mechanism inhibits axial separation of the first base plate relative to the second base plate and promotes returning the first base plate into its original position relative to the second base plate after rocking.

Filed:
Sep 21, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/231420
Inventors:
Richard Osmun - Denver CO, US
International Classification:
F16C 41/00
US Classification:
384036000
Abstract:
A rocking hinge bearing system is provided. The rocking hinge bearing system comprises a first base plate, a second base plate, and a compressible member. A pintle mechanism is required to align the first base plate, the second base plate and the compressible member and to prevent relative horizontal movement between the first base plate, the second base plate and the compressible member. A tensioning mechanism inhibits axial separation of the first base plate relative to the second base plate and helps to return the first base plate into its original position relative to the second base plate after rocking.
