  • Patent number: 7182306
    Abstract: An engine mount including a rubber elastic body connecting an upper and lower mounting plate fixture and a rebound stopper mechanism having an upper stopper integrally formed with an upper mounting plate fixture and a lower stopper integrally formed with a lower mounting plate fixture. The upper stopper is bolted to a power unit at a position deviating more toward the inside of the power unit than a position of an elastic main axis of the rubber elastic body on the upper mounting plate fixture so that the stopper mechanism in the rebound direction is positioned generally vertically below the position where the upper stopper is bolted to the power unit, whereas the lower stopper is bolted to the vehicle body at a position deviating more toward the inside of the power unit than the position of the elastic main axis of the rubber elastic body on the lower fixture.
