Earthquake resistant house

Abstract

An earthquake resistant structure includes a structure base assembly and a building structure positioned on the structure base assembly. The earthquake resistant structure includes a base isolation assembly which carries the building structure and structure base assembly, wherein the base isolation assembly includes a movement member and horizontal dampening member which allow the building structure and structure base assembly to move in response to an applied force, such as from an earthquake.

1 . An earthquake resistant structure, comprising:
 a structure base assembly;   a building structure positioned on the structure base assembly; and   a base isolation assembly, which carries the building structure and structure base assembly, wherein the base isolation assembly includes a movement member and horizontal dampening member which allow the building structure and structure base assembly to move in response to an applied force.   
   
   
       2 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the movement member is a spherical ball. 
   
   
       3 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the base isolation assembly includes a cell which contains the movement member. 
   
   
       4 . The structure of  claim 2 , wherein the horizontal dampening member is a spring. 
   
   
       5 . The structure of  claim 4 , wherein the spring is compressed and decompressed in response to movement of the movement member. 
   
   
       6 . The structure of  claim 1 , further including a dampening assembly which includes a plate and vertical dampening member. 
   
   
       7 . An earthquake resistant structure, comprising:
 a structure base assembly which includes a plurality of interior and exterior walls connected together to form a plurality of volumes;   a building structure positioned on the structure base assembly; and   a base isolation assembly, which carries the building structure and structure base assembly, wherein the base isolation assembly includes
 a plurality of movement assemblies positioned in a corresponding volume, each movement assembly including a support grid and a plurality of movement members; and 
 a plurality of dampening assemblies, each dampening assembly including a plate which carries a plurality of vertical dampening members. 
   
   
   
       8 . The structure of  claim 7 , wherein the movement members are spherical balls. 
   
   
       9 . The structure of  claim 7 , wherein the dampening members are springs. 
   
   
       10 . The structure of  claim 7 , wherein the horizontal dampening member is a spring. 
   
   
       11 . The structure of  claim 7 , further including a middle plate assembly which includes a middle plate and upwardly and downwardly extending walls, and a horizontal spring extending from the upwardly extending wall. 
   
   
       12 . The structure of  claim 11 , wherein the middle plate assembly carries a movement assembly, wherein the movement assembly is engaged with the spring of the middle plate assembly. 
   
   
       13 . The structure of  claim 7 , further including a bottom plate assembly which includes a bottom plate and an upwardly extending walls and a horizontal spring extending from the upwardly extending wall. 
   
   
       14 . The structure of  claim 13 , wherein the bottom plate assembly carries a movement assembly, wherein the movement assembly is engaged with the spring of the bottom plate assembly.
