This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240052904 titled 'SUPPORTER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a supporter with an upper portion for receiving a load from a supported body and a lower portion to be mounted on a floor surface.
- Upper portion includes a load receiver for mounting a projection from the supported body and a first flexure that bends downward under the load.
- Lower portion includes a second flexure that bends downward when pressed by the first flexure.
- A sliding region is defined where the first flexure and second flexure can slide on each other, allowing for movement under load.
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in various support structures for equipment, furniture, or other objects that require flexibility under load.
Problems Solved
1. Provides flexibility and support for objects under load. 2. Allows for movement and adjustment without compromising stability.
Benefits
1. Improved stability and support for objects. 2. Flexibility to accommodate different loads and movements. 3. Potential for use in various applications requiring support and flexibility.
Original Abstract Submitted
a supporter includes an upper portion including a load receiver on which a projection projecting downward from a supported body is to be mounted and which receives a load of the supported body. the supporter includes a lower portion to be provided on a floor surface and on which the upper portion is to be mounted. the upper portion includes, in a center portion thereof in a plan view, a first flexure that bends downward under the load of the supported body received by the load receiver. the lower portion includes a second flexure that bends downward when pressed by the first flexure bending downward. in the supporter, a sliding region in which the first flexure being bent downward and the second flexure being bent downward as pressed by the first flexure can slide on each other is defined by the load receiver having received the load of the supported body.
