  • Patent number: 4494723
    Abstract: A device, for mounting an engine on a vehicle body, comprising a mount insulator which has a shaft fixed onto the vehicle body. A hollow cylindrical rubber ring, surrounded by a cylindrical metallic outer member, is inserted onto the shaft. A dish-shaped insulator bracket is fixed onto the cylindrical outer member of the mount insulator. A dish-shaped engine mount bracket is fixed onto the engine body. The insulator bracket has inclined wall portions at the opposed ends thereof. Each of the inclined wall portions has a threaded hole formed thereon. The engine mount bracket has inclined wall portions at the opposed ends thereof. Each of the inclined wall portions has a slot formed thereon. When the engine mount bracket and the insulator bracket are superimposed in order to assemble the engine to the engine body, the engine mount bracket is just fitted onto the insulator bracket, and the threaded bores of the insulator bracket are aligned with the corresponding slots of the engine mount bracket.
