Abstract
Antivibration device comprising an antivibration mount fastened to a vehicle chassis and a motor bracket fastened to a vehicle motor. The motor bracket includes two branches each having a downwardly open housing which fits on a corresponding ear of the antivibration mount. The branches of the motor bracket are secured to the ears of the antivibration mount through screws which extend at an angle of 45° relative to the horizontal.
Claims13
Antivibration device including:
- an antivibration mount having a first rigid strength member designed to be fastened to a vehicle chassis, a second rigid strength member and an elastomer body interposed between said first and second strength members, said elastomer body being designed to withstand a permanent compression effort in a vertical direction and to damp vibrations at least in said vertical direction, said second strength member including two lateral ears which protrude laterally from said elastomer body and which are pierced respectively by two parallel holes;
- and a motor bracket extending between a first end which is designed to be fastened to a vehicle motor and a second end which is designed to be fastened to said ears by screwing;
- wherein the second end of the motor bracket includes two parallel branches each having a reception housing which is open downward, said reception housings being designed to receive respectively the two lateral ears of the second strength member of the antivibration mount,
- and wherein each of said branches has a hole which is designed to register with the hole of the corresponding ear to receive a fastening screw when the motor bracket is assembled to the antivibration mount.

A mechanical assembly comprising:
- a vehicle motor;
- a vehicle chassis;
- an antivibration mount having a first rigid strength member fastened to the vehicle chassis, a second rigid strength member and an elastomer body interposed between said first and second strength members, said elastomer body withstanding a permanent compression effort in a vertical direction and being designed to damp vibrations at least in said vertical direction, said second strength member including two lateral ears which protrude laterally from said elastomer body and which are pierced respectively by two parallel holes;
- and a motor bracket extending between a first end which is fastened to a vehicle motor and a second end which is fastened to said ears by screwing;
- wherein the second end of the motor bracket includes two parallel branches each having a reception housing which is open downward, said reception housings receiving respectively the two lateral ears of the second strength member of the antivibration mount, and each of said branches having a hole which registers with the hole of the corresponding ear, two fastening screws traversing respectively said holes of the branches of the motor bracket and being received in said holes of the ears, the holes of the branches of the motor bracket and of the ears of the antivibration mount being oriented in a direction extending slantwise upwardly away from the first end of the motor bracket.
