  • Patent number: 10619691
    Abstract: A unit bearing assembly (1) with an elastomer bearing body (2) in a rigid bearing housing (4) with an opening (3, 3?). A supporting member (5) takes hold through the opening (3, 3?), the supporting member braced on bearing body (2) and relative movements of the bearing body (2) with respect to the bearing housing (4) along three mutually orthogonal extension directions (X, Y, Z) of the bearing body (2), on both sides of a neutral position of each relative movement, is limited by stops (6, 6?, 7, 7?, 8, 8?) arranged on the bearing housing (4). For providing a unit bearing assembly (1) with a stable, robust, and dimensionally stable bearing housing (4), and provides stops (6, 6?, 7, 7?, 8, 8?) for movements the bearing housing (4) is designed free of joints and is molded in one piece in a forming process for receiving the bearing body (2).

  • Patent number: 10203012
    Abstract: A unit mount (1) for a motor vehicle is provided. The unit mount (1) includes a closed, one piece housing (7) with a housing opening (15, 33) on each of two sides that lie opposite each other; an elastomeric bearing spring (5) that is accommodated in the housing (7), and a support arm (3) that is secured within the housing (7) with at least one end protruding from one of the two housing openings (15, 33). For providing a cost-effective unit mount (1) with a simplified assembly, the elastomeric bearing spring (50) is inserted after the support arm (3) has been mounted.
