  • Patent number: 8376330
    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 offset 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

  • Patent number: 6702267
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic bearing, especially for supporting motor vehicle assemblies, that includes a supporting connection, a buttress connection which lies axially opposite the supporting connection and a bearing spring element which is located between these two and which includes (i) an elastomer radial spring, (ii) an expanding spring which is configured as a separate molded elastomer part in the form of a bell-type rolling membrane and which forms part of a hydraulic damping system between the supporting connection and the buttress connection, and (iii) an axially upright steel helical spring. The hydraulic damping system includes a working chamber, a throttle channel and a compensation chamber. A bearing housing radially surrounds the bearing spring element and the hydraulic damping system and is supported by the buttress connection.

  • Patent number: 6572087
    Abstract: An elastomer spring for supporting an axially arranged coil spring, in particular in an engine mounting is constructed to reduce the radial loads on the coil spring with simultaneous damping and includes a transversely soft composition for the elastomeric spring. The elastomeric spring is provided with a centering projection which may be introduced into the coil spring and a section which may be deformed by the effect of radial forces, with a molded sheet being provided to stabilize the force carrying section of the elastomeric spring.
