Abstract
A device for the elastic mounting of an engine, in particular an engine transmission unit, on a motor vehicle body, comprising a rigid support with a supporting section and a mounting section, to which the engine can be fastened, a rigid flange ring which can be fastened to the motor vehicle body and surrounds the full circumference of the supporting section, and a spring body which is elastically supported on the supporting section of the support and on an inner side of the flange ring.

1-10. (canceled)
An apparatus for elastically mounting an engine to a motor vehicle body, comprising:
- a rigid support member with a support section and a mounting section to which the engine can be attached;
- a rigid flange ring attachable to the motor vehicle body and completely surrounding the support section;
- and
- a spring body elastically supported at the support section of the support member and at an inner side of the flange ring,
- wherein a rigid insert is attached to the spring body at the side facing the flange ring, at the side facing the support member, or a combination thereof, for a frictional fixation of the spring body at the flange ring, the support section, or a combination thereof, and
- wherein the insert is attached to the flange ring, the support member, or a combination thereof (a) at the side of the insert facing the flange ring, (b) at the side of the insert facing the support member by means of a retaining lug structure realized by at least one protrusion with an undercut at the side of the flange ring, (c) at the side of the support member and by at least one tapered depression, essentially complementary in shape to the respective at least one protrusion, wherein the at least one protrusion engages hook-like into the at least one depression, or (d) any combination thereof.
A method for manufacturing an apparatus for elastically mounting an engine to a motor vehicle body, the method comprising:
- providing a rigid support member with a support section and a mounting section to which the engine can be attached;
- providing a rigid flange ring attachable to the motor vehicle body and completely surrounding the support section;
- attaching a rigid insert to a spring body at the side facing the flange ring, at the side facing the support member, or a combination thereof, for a frictional fixation of the spring body at the flange ring, the support section, or a combination thereof;
- and
- elastically supporting the spring body at the support section of the support member and at an inner side of the flange ring;
- attaching the insert to the flange ring, the support member, or a combination thereof (a) at the side of the insert facing the flange ring, (b) at the side of the insert facing the support member by means of a retaining lug structure realized by at least one protrusion with an undercut at the side of the flange ring, (c) at the side of the support member and by at least one tapered depression, essentially complementary in shape to the respective at least one protrusion, wherein the at least one protrusion engages hook-like into the at least one depression, or (d) any combination thereof.
