  • Patent number: 5221192
    Abstract: An elastomeric mount for a compressor is formed of upper and lower stud portions with a solid elastomeric section therebetween to thereby provide improved vibrational damping performance in both the vertical and transverse directions. The three elements are integrally joined by molding the studs into the elastomeric portion, and the binding between the elements is enhanced by way of an adhesive.
