  • Patent number: 9562587
    Abstract: A device for the elastic mounting of an engine, in particular an engine transmission unit, on a motor vehicle body, comprising a rigid support with a supporting section and a mounting section, to which the engine can be fastened, a rigid flange ring which can be fastened to the motor vehicle body and surrounds the full circumference of the supporting section, and a spring body which is elastically supported on the supporting section of the support and on an inner side of the flange ring.
    Type: Grant

  • 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: 8348007
    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.
