Abstract: A hydro-elastic operation member is provided for a hydro-elastic bearing for mounting a motor vehicle part like an engine unit to the body of the motor vehicle, comprising a spring body, in particular made of an elastomer material, at least one hydraulic working chamber, a device for attaching the operation member to a support frame fixed to the vehicle body, and a flange facing the motor vehicle part for attaching the operation member to the motor vehicle part, wherein the hydraulic working chamber is delimited by components of the operation member without the support frame. The operation member forms a component unit insertable into the support frame, wherein the attachment device is designed for removing the operation member, attached to the support frame, from the support frame.

Abstract: An elastic coupling device for elastically connecting a damping mass like a gas generator to a motor vehicle part exposed to oscillations and/or vibrations, in particular an airbag module, in one embodiment comprising a rigid support ring facing the vehicle, at least one fixation piece like a rivet head, the fixation piece facing the damping mass and being made of a rigid material, and a spring body coupling the support ring and the fixation piece. The support ring and/or the fixation piece, respectively made of a plastic material, as well as the spring body, which may be made of an elastomer material, may be produced in a single manufacturing step by means of a two-component process, in particular by two-component injection moulding.

Abstract: A device for elastically mounting an engine transmission unit on a motor vehicle body, comprising a motor support, a flange rigidly mountable to the motor vehicle body, defining a longitudinal direction to be aligned with the driving direction, wherein the motor support essentially extends out of the flange in a transverse direction, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and is facing the engine transmission unit for forming a mounting area for the engine transmission unit, and an elastomeric body via which the motor support is elastically supported by the flange and which has a vertical support spring to absorb an essentially static load from the weight of the engine transmission unit, the load acting vertically to the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, wherein the vertical support spring comprises two spring arms inclined towards each other and spreading away from each other in transverse direction.

Abstract: For an elastic coupling member for a three (or more) point connection of a vibration absorber mass, like a gas generator for an airbag, to a motor vehicle part exposed to vibrations or oscillations, like a steering wheel structure, comprising a sleeve-shaped spring body firmly connectable to the vibration absorber mass and the motor vehicle part and having an axial direction, it is provided that the spring body has a different shape in its first radial sectional plane, in particular a vertical radial sectional plane, compared to a second, in particular horizontal radial section plane circumferentially offset from the first one.

Abstract: In an insert bearing part for combining with another insert bearing part structured the same or similar to form an elastomeric insert bearing there is provided a surrounding outer shell featuring a radial portion and an axial portion, an elastomeric body surrounded by the outer shell and a rigid core with an axial throughway for securing the insert bearing, said core protruding axially beyond the axial portion such that when locating the insert bearing part on the other insert bearing part structured the same or similar, the insert bearing parts contact each other substantially at the radial level of the core in forming an axial spacing between opposing axial portions of the insert bearing parts so that the elastomeric body is compressed by the insert bearing parts being brought together.

Abstract: Apparatus for elastically supporting an engine transmission unit to a motor vehicle body, the apparatus comprising a rigid support member attachable to the engine transmission unit, a rigid flange attachable to the motor vehicle body and defining a horizontal, longitudinal direction particularly to be aligned with the driving direction of the vehicle, and an elastomeric body via which the support member is elastically supported by the flange and which has a vertical spring member for receiving a weight force of the engine transmission unit acting essentially vertically as well as perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction and a horizontal transverse direction, wherein the support member is extending away from the flange in transverse direction and has a mounting area off-set with respect to the flange in transverse direction as well as a coupling section projecting in such a way essentially vertically through an opening formed through the flange that the coupling section forms an abutment for restricting a
