Abstract

A vibration isolator mount system includes a base rail; a mounting rail coupled to a piece of equipment, the mounting rail including a mounting bracket; and a vibration isolator. The vibration isolator includes an isolator body. The vibration isolator includes a foundation pin, the foundation pin extending downward from the isolator body and through a base hole formed in the base rail. The foundation pin includes a base plate and a foundation elastomeric body. The foundation elastomeric body may be positioned between the isolator body and the base plate. The vibration isolator includes a stud. The stud may extend upward from the isolator body and through a stud hole formed in the mounting bracket.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A vibration isolator mount system comprising:
a base rail;
a mounting rail coupled to a generator set, the mounting rail including a mounting bracket; and
a vibration isolator, the vibration isolator including:
an isolator body;
a foundation pin, the foundation pin extending downward from the isolator body and through a base hole formed in the base rail, the foundation pin including:
a base plate; and
a foundation elastomeric body, the foundation elastomeric body positioned between the isolator body and the base plate; and

a stud, the stud extending upward from the isolator body and through a stud hole formed in the mounting bracket.

2. The vibration isolator mount of claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary bracket coupled to the base rail.

3. The vibration isolator mount of claim 2 , further comprising auxiliary equipment coupled to the auxiliary bracket.

4. The vibration isolator mount of claim 3 , wherein the auxiliary equipment comprises one or more of a control system enclosure, cooling piping, crank case ventilation filtration, fuel supply systems, water jacket heating and cooling pipes, and engine fluid heating.

5. The vibration isolator mount of claim 1 , wherein the base rail is coupled to a trailer, truck chassis, or skid.

6. The vibration isolator mount of claim 1 , wherein the generator set includes an engine and a generator.

7. The vibration isolator mount of claim 1 , wherein the base plate mechanically couples to the base rail by a threaded fastener.

8. The vibration isolator mount of claim 1 , wherein the mounting rail is positioned beside the base rail.

9. A system comprising:
a trailer, truck chassis, or skid;
a vibration isolator mount system comprising:
a base rail coupled to the trailer, truck chassis, or skid;
a mounting rail coupled to a generator set, the mounting rail including a mounting bracket; and
a vibration isolator, the vibration isolator including:
an isolator body;
a foundation pin, the foundation pin extending downward from the isolator body and through a base hole formed in the base rail, the foundation pin including:
a base plate; and
a foundation elastomeric body, the foundation elastomeric body positioned between the isolator body and the base plate; and

a stud, the stud extending upward from the isolator body and through a stud hole formed in the mounting bracket.
