Engine frame

Abstract

An engine mount wherein an elastic body connecting upper and lower rigid members has a front-back dimension of its upper half smaller than that of its lower half with the upper half constitutes a front-back direction rubber stopper portion opposed to and spaced apart from a pair of leg portions of a bridge shaped stopper member in the front-back direction by a stopper clearance. The bridge shaped stopper member is press fitted onto the elastic body and the lower rigid member by being assembled through an opening of a lower end thereof, with the lower half clamped elastically between the pair of leg portions. With the stopper member being press fitted onto the elastic body and the lower rigid member, the pressing portions of the stopper member press downwardly the shoulder portions of the elastic body causing compression deformation of the lower half, producing a state of fixation of the lower half to the stopper member.

[0003] The present invention relates to an engine frame supporting a vehicle body engine in a vibration damping manner, and in particular to an engine frame structure, which includes a stopper element which is a bridge-shaped rigid member and adopts a suspension method to provide vibration reduction of the engine support. Background technique

[0004] Different types of engine mounts have been used to provide engine damping support. One type consists of a structure which is a metal stop in the form of a bridge (rigid stop) and is suspended to provide vibration-damp...
