The adjustable foot comprises an annular element (1) provided with an axial bore with internal screw thread (4). The adjustable foot furthermore comprises a shaft element (2) provided with external screw thread (5) matching the internal screw thread (4). When screwed into the bore, this shaft element (2) can be adjusted in the axial direction (9) with respect to the annular element (1) by turning with respect to the annular element (1). The adjustable foot furthermore comprises a support part (6), provided on the annular element (1) or shaft element (2) as well as a washer (3). The washer (3) and the support part (6) are each provided with a convex respectively concave surface (66) having essentially the same radius of curvature (R), such that the angle of the washer (3) with respect to the support part (6) can be adjusted. According to the invention the top surface (10) of the annular element (1) is made to slope downwards in the radially outward direction. According to the invention the adjustable foot furthermore comprises a cap (11) with a diameter greater than that of the internal screw thread (4). According to a further aspect, the invention relates to a combination of an adjustable foot according to the invention, a substructure and equipment (14) set up in alignment on said substructure, as well as an anchor bolt (15), wherein the equipment (14) is anchored to the substructure by means of the anchor bolt (15), with the adjustable foot between them.

L'invention concerne un pied ajustable servant à niveler un équipement. Ce pied ajustable comprend un élément annulaire comportant un orifice axial pourvu d'un filet de vis interne. Ledit pied ajustable comporte également un élément arbre pourvu d'un filet de vis externe qui correspond audit filet de vis interne. Lorsqu'il est vissé dans l'orifice, l'élément arbre peut être ajusté en direction axiale par rapport à l'élément annulaire, par un mouvement de rotation par rapport à cet élément annulaire. Le pied ajustable selon l'invention comprend en outre une partie support qui est ménagée sur l'élément annulaire ou l'élément arbre, ainsi qu'une rondelle. Cette rondelle et la partie support sont respectivement pourvues d'une surface convexe et concave présentant sensiblement le même rayon de courbure, de façon que l'angle formé entre la rondelle et la partie support puisse être ajusté. Selon l'invention, la surface supérieure de l'élément annulaire est inclinée vers le bas et s'étend radialement vers l'extérieur. Le pied ajustable comprend également un élément de recouvrement dont le diamètre est supérieur à celui du filet de vis interne. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la présente invention concerne une combinaison comprenant ledit pied ajustable, une sous-structure et un équipement nivelé sur cette sous-structure, ainsi qu'un boulon d'ancrage, l'équipement étant ancré sur ladite sous-structure au moyen dudit boulon d'ancrage et le pied ajustable étant situé entre ces derniers.
