Abstract: A mounting plate assembly for use in isolating vibration between a motor and a support member is disclosed. A motor is securely mounted to the mounting plate. The mounting plate has a plurality of openings in the outer portion of the plate to receive fasteners for mounting the mounting plate to a support member. An elastomeric gasket is molded to the mounting plate and encompasses the openings about the outer perimeter in the mounting plate. The gasket has bosses formed therein which extend through the openings in the mounting plate. The bosses have, at the openings in the mounting plate, an external diameter which is substantially less than the openings in the mounting plate at least in one direction perpendicular to the axis of the opening. Preferably, the openings in the mounting plate are elongated in a direction tangential to an axis of rotation of the motor drive shaft so that the motor can articulate in a rotational direction with respect to the support member.
