Body mount assembly

A body mount assembly for connecting a body member having a body aperture to a vehicle frame member having a frame aperture defining an aperture perimeter, the body mount comprising:

• a first spacer member having first absorption material and a first locking member and defining a first bore, the first locking member having one of a male and female configuration;
• a second spacer member having second absorption material and a second locking member and defining a second bore, the second locking member having the other one of a male and female configuration;
• and
• the male configuration including at least one prong, the at least one prong having at least one locking protrusion, and the female configuration including at least one female recess, the at least one female recess having at least one locking recess, such that the first spacer member may be connected to the second spacer member through the frame member aperture by inserting the at least one prong into the at least one female recess such that the at least one prong is displaced laterally before the at least one locking protrusion interlocks with the at least one locking recess such that the first and second bores are aligned.

A vehicle body mount assembly for connecting a body member having a body aperture to a vehicle frame member having a frame aperture defining an aperture perimeter, the body mount assembly comprising:

• a first spacer member having a first shell, first absorption material, and a first locking member, the first shell having a first tubular portion, a first flange and a first inner wall, the first absorption material located adjacent and connected to the first inner wall, the first locking member having one of a male and female configuration and being connected adjacent to the first absorption material, and the first flange having a first radially extending portion and a first axially extending portion such that the first absorption material is laterally supported between the first tubular portion, the first axially extending portion, and the first locking member;
• a second spacer member having a second shell, second absorption material, and a second locking member, the second shell having a second tubular portion, a second flange, and a second inner wall, the second absorption material located adjacent and connected to the second inner wall, the second locking member having the other one of a male and female configuration and being connected adjacent the second absorption material, and the second flange having a second radially extending portion and a second axially extending portion such that the second absorption material is laterally supported between the second tubular portion, the second axially extending portion, and the second locking member, such that the first spacer member may be connected to the second spacer member through the frame member aperture by interlocking the first and second locking members such that the first and second tubular portions are aligned.

A shock absorbing assembly capable of being connected to a vehicle frame member having a frame member aperture defining an aperture perimeter and for dampening movement between a body member and the vehicle frame member, the shock absorbing assembly comprising:

• a first spacer member having first absorption material and a first locking member having one of a male and female configurations;
• a second spacer member having second absorption material and a second locking member having the other of a male and female configuration;
• and
• the male configuration including at least one prong having at least one locking protrusion, the locking protrusion having an inclined bottom surface, and the female configuration including at least one female recess, the female recess having at least one locking recess, such that the first member may be connected to the second member through the frame member aperture by inserting the at least one prong into the at least one female recess such that the at least one prong is displaced laterally by the inclined bottom surface engaging the female recess before the at least one prong interlocks with the at least one locking recess.

A body mount assembly for connecting a body member having a body aperture to a vehicle frame member having a frame aperture defining an aperture perimeter, the body mount comprising:

• a first spacer member having first absorption material and a first locking member and defining a first bore, the first locking member having one of a male and female configuration;
• a second spacer member having second absorption material and a second locking member and defining a second bore, the second locking member having the other one of a male and female configuration;
• and
• the male configuration including at least one prong having at least one locking protrusion, the at least one locking protrusion having an inclined bottom surface, and the female configuration including at least one female recess, the at least one female recess having at least one locking recess, such that the first spacer member may be connected to the second spacer member through the frame member aperture by inserting the at least one prong into the at least one female recess such that the at least one prong is displaced laterally by the inclined bottom surface engaging the female recess before the at least one locking protrusion interlocks with the at least one locking recess such that the first and second bores are aligned.
