  • Patent number: 11780504
    Abstract: A frame device for a vehicle, including a subframe which can be attached to a structure of the vehicle and which has two side members spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction of the subframe and at least one cross member via which the side members are interconnected. The frame device also includes at least one support element, which is formed separately from the subframe and has at least one attachment element by which at least one component of the vehicle can be attached to the support element, and a steering gear which is formed separately from the subframe and separately from the support element for a steering system of the vehicle. Both the steering gear and the support element are attached to the subframe by one and the same fastening element.

  • Publication number: 20220227422
    Abstract: A unit mounting in a vehicle, in which a drive unit is attached via a unit bearing to a body-side bearing bracket, which unit bearing is a rubber-metal bearing having a sleeve-shaped bearing core, which is screwed together with the body-side bearing bracket by a bearing bolt guided through the sleeve-shaped bearing core. The drive unit has a unit housing, in which a bearing receptacle is formed for the unit bearing. The housing-side bearing receptacle is formed as a bearing cup open on one side having a hollow cylindrical receptacle space, specifically in particular having a closed bearing base, from which a cylindrical circumferential peripheral wall is raised.

  • Patent number: 10118476
    Abstract: An engine mount for a drive unit in a vehicle includes a bracket having first and second joining points for attachment of the bracket to the drive unit. A first mounting member connects the bracket to the drive unit in the first joining point along a first joining axis. An engine mount is arranged on a vehicle body and supports the drive unit via the bracket. A second mounting member connects the bracket to the drive unit in the second joining point along a second joining axis. The first and second joining axes extend at a slant to each other by an axis angle.

  • Patent number: 9643480
    Abstract: An assembly bearing arrangement for a motor vehicle includes an assembly bearing having a bearing housing, a vibration-damping bearing, and a bearing core connectable to a power train element. The bearing housing is connected with a body-fixed carrier part by a first fastening element, oriented in a direction that differs from a vertical direction, in a torsion-resistant manner, and by a second fastening element, oriented substantially in the vertical axis direction. A U-shaped stop bracket bridges the bearing core and is firmly connected to the bearing housing. The bearing core is formed with diametrically opposite stop arms, which in basic position are spaced from legs of the stop bracket by a gap distance. A first stop buffer is arranged on inner surfaces of the stop bracket and/or the bearing core, and second stop buffers are arranged on the legs of the stop bracket and/or the stop arms between the legs and the stop arms.

    Abstract: An assembly bearing arrangement for a motor vehicle includes an assembly bearing having a bearing housing, a vibration-damping bearing, and a bearing core connectable to a power train element. The bearing housing is connected with a body-fixed carrier part by a first fastening element, oriented not in vertical axis direction (Z-direction), in a torsion-resistant manner, and by a second fastening element, oriented substantially in the vertical axis direction. A U-shaped stop bracket bridges the bearing core and is firmly connected to the bearing housing. The bearing core is formed with diametrically opposite stop arms, which in basic position are spaced from legs of the stop bracket by a gap distance.
