  • Patent number: 6564892
    Abstract: An engine or radiator mounting sub-system comprised generally of an engine or radiator frame cross piece that is assembled to the engine or radiator off of the assembly line of a mobile vehicle. The off-line assembly allows the engine mounts to be preloaded prior to assembly. The engine or radiator and frame cross piece module may be lowered into the chassis on an assembly line for final fastener engagement that comes through the side or top of the frame rails. In one embodiment, the frame cross piece has an end bracket on each end that allows the lowering in of the engine or radiator into exact forward and aft placement on the respective frame rails. There may be frame rail brackets that have ‘L’ shaped ends. Where these ‘L’ brackets are used, the length of the frame cross piece including the ‘L’ brackets out to the outer vertical face will closely approximate the width between the rails.

  • Patent number: 6408974
    Abstract: A mount for securing a component, such as an engine, to a vehicle frame. Preferably, the mount includes a bottom and top isolator and a cross member that can be assembled and secured to the engine at an assembly station away from the primary assembly line. The cross member includes frame mounting surfaces that are vertically oriented at each side of the cross member, and the frame includes corresponding engine mounting surfaces. A receiver with a downward facing surface is also provided that is attached to the cross member. A stop support that is attached to the vehicle frame supports the weight of the engine with an upward facing support surface that abuts the receiver support surface.
