  • Patent number: 11890935
    Abstract: A vehicular motor mount made of a motor mount assembly and a frame mount assembly made of four components: a base plate, a capture ring, a post and a bushing. The post mechanically connects directly to the engine mount bracket and the base plate directly connects to the subframe of the vehicle. The polymer bushing is bonded directly to the post. The concave capture ring is directly connected to the base plate forming a capture housing with a cavity wherein the post and bushing of the motor mount assembly are constrained but not directly connected to the base plate or capture ring of the frame mount assembly. With no direct connection between the two assemblies, the engine is not directly connected to the subframe. This improves vehicle's ride. The bushing and the capture ring are common to all vehicular motor mounts. The motor mount may be replaced in pieces rather than in its entirety.
