A kinematic seismic isolation device for isolating a superstructure from the movement experienced by a substructure or foundation by providing lateral stability and resistance to stress having a rigid-structure helmet piece with the convex part facing upward and a radius of curvature R; and an intermediate rigid-structure body coupled to the underside of the helmet piece and extends to a bottom end of the device connected by a pivoting connection to the substructure or foundation, wherein the radius of curvature R is greater than or equal to the height H of the device; and wherein a tread plate, which is secured to the bottom surface of the superstructure, rests on the helmet piece.
