Stabilizer pad for vehicles
First Claim
1. A resilient pad structure mounted from a support weldment comprising:
- a unitary resilient pad having opposite ground engaging surfaces, one of which is adapted to be in a downwardly facing orientation for ground engagement;
a plurality of support posts extending from said resilient pad at spaced intervals and each engaged in a direction orthogonal to the ground engaging surface for mating with an accommodating open receiving slot disposed along a bottom edge of said weldment; and
at least one securing member that is connectable between said resilient pad and said weldment for holding said resilient pad to said weldment.

Abstract
A stabilizer pad including a pair of plate members supported from a stabilizer arm; and a pad assembly that is adapted for mounting between the pair of plate members. The pad assembly has a resilient pad having opposite ground engageable work surfaces and opposite support surfaces, and a plurality of support members extending from the opposite support surfaces of the resilient pad. The support members are each adapted for engagement with a receiving slot of one of the plate members for mounting of the pad assembly to the plate members. At least one retaining member extends through the resilient pad and between the plate members for holding the pad assembly to the plate members.

12. A resilient stabilizer pad comprising:
-
a resilient pad member having opposite ground engaging surfaces, one of which is adapted to be in a downwardly facing orientation for ground engagement, and having opposite support surfaces; and a plurality of mounting lugs that are permanently affixed with said pad member including one lug set extending from one support surface side of said resilient pad member for releasable engagement with a corresponding open receiving slot set disposed along a bottom edge of one support plate of a weldment, and another lug set extending from an opposite support surface side of said resilient pad member for releasable engagement with a corresponding open receiving slot set disposed along a bottom edge of another support plate of a weldment. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A resilient pad structure for mounting from a support weldment at a series of slots in respective plate members of the weldment, said resilient pad structure comprising:
-
a resilient pad having opposite ground engagable surfaces, one at a time of which is adapted to be in a downwardly facing orientation for ground engagement while the other surface is out of ground engagement; said resilient pad also having opposite support surfaces that are disposed generally transverse to said ground engagable surfaces; said resilient pad further having respective mounted and dismounted positions relative to said weldment; a plurality of support rods extending through said resilient pad and disposed in a pattern corresponding to and for engagement at respective ends thereof with said series of slots of said weidment; said support rod ends extending beyond respective opposite support surfaces of said resilient pad for engagement with said slots; said support rods being fixed with said resilient pad in both the mounted and dismounted position of said resilient pad; each said plate member slot comprising an open receiving slot extending in the plane of said plate member at an edge thereof; each said support rod end for mating engagement with an open receiving slot. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A resilient stabilizer pad for mounting to a weldment comprising:
-
a resilient pad having opposite ground engagable surfaces, one at a time of which is adapted to be in a downwardly facing orientation for ground engagement while the other surface is out of ground engagement; said resilient pad also having opposite support surfaces that are disposed generally transverse to said ground engagable surfaces; said resilient pad further having respective mounted and dismounted positions relative to said weldment; and a plurality of mounting posts that are permanently affixed with said resilient pad including at least one post extending from one support surface side of said resilient pad for releasable engagement with a corresponding slot of one support plate of the weldment, and at least another post extending from an opposite suppport surface side of said resilient pad for releasable engagement with a corresponding slot of another support plate of the weldment; said mounting posts being maintained fixed with said resilient pad in both the mounted and dismounted position of said resilient pad; each said support plate slot comprising an open receiving slot extending in the plane of said support plate at an edge thereof; each said mounting post for mating engagement with an open receiving slot. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
