Vibration damping floor structure
A vibration damping floor structure for reducing vibrations and shocks applied to a building. The vibration damping floor structure includes a frame structure formed by connecting a plurality of frames, a plurality of ball bearing supports formed on predetermined locations of the frame structure, and a plurality of ball bearings formed on each ball bearing support. Each bearing support is structured so that all of the ball bearings can contact the floor by adjusting the height and following the inclination of the floor.
1. A vibration damping floor structure in which a frame structure having a plurality of ball bearing supports moves on a surface of a floor through ball bearings to reduce the vibration, comprising:
a plurality of ball bearings formed on each ball bearing support;
wherein each of the bearing support includes means for following an inclination of the floor and means for adjusting height, thereby allowing all of the ball bearings to contact the floor while accommodating uneven contours of the floor.
2. A vibration damping floor structure as defined in claim 1 , wherein in which a free access floor is constructed on the frame structure.
3. A vibration damping floor structure for reducing vibrations and shocks applied to a building, comprising:
a frame structure formed by connecting a plurality of frames;
a plurality of ball bearing supports formed on predetermined locations of the frame structure; and
a plurality of ball bearings formed on each ball bearing support;
wherein each of the bearing support includes means for following an inclination of a floor surface of the building and means for adjusting height, thereby allowing all of the ball bearings to contact the floor while accommodating uneven contours of the floor.
4. A vibration damping floor structure as defined in claim 3 , wherein each of the frames is a C-type steel frame and the ball bearing support is formed inside of the frame.
5. A vibration damping floor structure as defined in claim 4 , wherein each ball bearing support is formed with a first support member fixedly connected to the frame, a second support member rotatably connected to the first support member, a third support member mounting a ball bearing rotatably connected to the first support member.
6. A vibration damping floor structure as defined in claim 5 , wherein the first support member, the second support member, and the third support member are connected with one another through a shaft pin, wherein the second support member and the third support member having the ball bearing rotate in response to an inclination of the floor surface, thereby establishing the means for following the inclination.
7. A vibration damping floor structure as defined in claim 5 , wherein the first support member has a screw which presses the second support member when rotated, thereby establishing the means for adjusting the height of the ball bearing support.
8. A vibration damping floor structure as defined in claim 5 , wherein the first support member, the second support member, and the third support member are connected with one another through a shaft pin, wherein the first support member has long holes for the shaft pin so that the shaft pin can move in the long holes, and wherein the first support member has a screw which presses the second support member when rotated, thereby establishing the means for adjusting the height of the ball bearing support.
9. A vibration damping floor structure as defined in claim 4 , wherein each ball bearing support is formed with a first support member fixedly connected to the frame, a ball joint rotatably connected to the first support member at one end, wherein three or more ball bearings are mounted on another end of the ball joint.
