FIELD: shipboard electronic equipment including that requiring stabilization during roll and pitch to ensure normal functioning. SUBSTANCE: device designed for self-stabilization of antenna station and instruments of shipboard electronic equipment at roll and pitch under action of terrestrial attraction forces has newly introduced frame base and two frame posts with bearings and slope, platform with lateral walls on top provided with bearings and rocker arms loosely joining them together; these rocker arms have two pairs of semi-axles built in bearings of frame posts and platform walls. Center of gravity of stabilizing platform and of stabilizing equipment it mounts is below balance pivots. Platforms are suspended from two relatively perpendicular horizontal axles of rocker arm disposed on board ship in parallel and perpendicular to diametric plane of ship. Platform proper with its walls and stabilizing equipment disposed below balance pivot are used as counterweight. Platform walls function as counterweight lever. Frame base is provided with longitudinal projection, trihedral as viewed from top, with beveled front and rear edges which support lower surface of platform during maximal roll and trim angles to limit angle of platform turn relative to frame and deck of oscillating ship. EFFECT: enhances safety and improved operating conditions for equipment due to preventing its damage at great roll and pitch angles. 1 cl, 8 dwg
