Abstract: A body mount for a vehicle includes a rebound cushion assembly in which a first cushion portion provides a progressive rate buildup to provide travel rebound control and a second cushion portion prevents an upper cushion of the body mount from hitting against the vehicle frame. A clamp member partially encloses the first and second cushion portions. The portions are preferably inner and outer rings interconnected by a thin membrane that allows independent action. The first portion is an elongated member always in compression that has a minimal impact on the system rate and loaded height and the second ring comes into selective contact with the vehicle frame to prevent the upper cushion from being lifted from the vehicle frame.

Abstract: A body mount for coupling a vehicle body to a vehicle frame is disclosed. The body mount includes a first member disposed on one side of the frame. The first member includes an elastomeric member with a plurality of pads formed about the periphery of the first member for defining a side to side and a fore/aft cushioning rate. The body mount also includes a second member disposed on an opposite side of the frame and operably coupled to the first member.

Abstract: A rebound cushion for a body mount is disclosed. The rebound cushion includes an outer cushion formed from an elastomeric material having a first durometer. The rebound cushion also includes an inner cushion formed from an elastomeric material having a second durometer, wherein the first durometer of the outer cushion is higher than the second durometer of the inner cushion. A clamp disk maintains the inner cushion in contact with the outer cushion. The outer cushion may include an annular lip for retaining the clamp disk. The separate inner cushion allows a vertical cushioning rate defined by the inner cushion to be designed and/or tuned independently from the lateral cushioning rate.
