  • Patent number: 5409283
    Abstract: A body mounting structure of an automotive vehicle includes upper and lower insulators disposed on and below a mount bracket fixed to a vehicle frame. A floor panel forming part of a vehicle body is securely mounted on the upper insulator. A vertical bolt is disposed passing through the insulators, the mount bracket and the floor panel thereby to connect them as a single unit. The bolt has a bolt head located below the lower insulator and provided with a cup-shaped washer for the bolt head. Additionally, a stopper bracket fixed to the vehicle frame. It extends below the lower insulator and is formed with a support hole. The cup-shaped washer is located inside the periphery of the support hole in such a manner that it comes into contact with the periphery of the support hole when a large horizontal force input is made to the vehicle frame or the vehicle body, thereby suppressing a generally horizontal displacement between the vehicle frame and the vehicle body.
