Abstract
A flexible isolation mount for suspending a motor unit having a motor housing and a mounting bracket attached to the housing to reduce the sound and vibration of the motor. A mounting base is bolted to the bracket securing a flexible belt intermediate the mounting block and bracket. The belt has two loops that extend beyond the periphery of the mounting base and are folded over the base to form a flexible handle. A hook means attached to a support frame engages the flexible handle for an isolation mount.
Claims17
A flexible isolation mount suspending a motor unit from a support frame with said motor unit having a housing, said isolation mount comprising:
- (a) a flexible belt attached to said motor housing;
- (b) first means, attached to said motor housing, for engagement with said belt whereby said belt forms a flexible handle, said first engagement means includes a support mounting base affixed to the motor housing such that said belt is secured intermediate the support mounting base and the motor housing having a first and second loop in the belt extending beyond the periphery of the support mounting base and folded over said support mounting base;
- and,
- (c) second means, fixed to said support frame, for engagement with the handle to suspend the motor unit from the support.
A flexible isolation mount suspending a motor unit from a support frame to said motor unit having a housing with a mounting bracket, said isolation mount comprising:
- (a) a motor unit having a mounting bracket and a mounting base fixed to the mounting bracket;
- (b) a flexible belt secured between said mounting base and said mounting bracket, extending beyond the periphery of the base, folded over the mounting base and forming a handle for suspension of the motor unit;
- (c) engagement means, attached to said support frame, for engagement with said handle;
- and,
- (d) means, interconnecting said mounting base and mounting bracket, for adjusting the pitch of said motor unit.
A flexible isolation mount for suspending a motor from a support frame, said motor having a housing, said isolation mount comprising:
- (a) a motor unit having a motor mount fixed to a motor housing wherein said motor mount includes a mounting bracket fixed to the motor housing and a mounting base bolted to the motor mounting bracket.
- (b) a flexible belt extending intermediate the mounting base and motor housing and folded around the motor mount to form a flexible handle;
- and
- (c) hook means, attached to the support frame for engagement with the handle for suspension of the motor.
A flexible isolation mount including a motor unit suspended from a support frame with said motor unit having a mounting bracket with a mounting base fixed thereon, and a flexible belt extending intermediate said base and motor unit folded over the base to form a handle with said handle suspended from an engagement means on the support frame, wherein said mounting base includes a rectangular block fixed to the mounting bracket and having two sides parallel to a longitudinal axis of the motor unit and two ends perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the motor unit and said flexible belt having a first end loop and a second end loop with each said end loop having two legs and each leg of the first end loop folded over one of the rectangular block and each leg of the second end loop folded over opposing sides of the rectangular block.
A flexible isolation mount, comprising:
- (a) a motor unit having a housing and a mounting base attached to the housing;
- (b) a flexible belt extending intermediate the mounting base and motor unit and attached to the mounting base for suspending the motor unit from an overhead structure;
- and
- (c) means, connected to said mounting base, for selectively displacing the mounting base with respect to the housing of the motor unit to loosen and adjust the length of the flexible belt for adjustment of the pitch of the motor unit.
