Abstract

An on-vehicle generator mounting device includes: a stay provided with a first insertion hole; a front side mounting leg and a rear side mounting leg of the generator, both being disposed on two ends of the stay; a second insertion hole provided through one of the mounting legs; a cylindrical bush fitted movably into a fitting hole provided through the other of the mounting legs; a clamp nut disposed at the other mounting leg to be adjacent to and coaxially with the bush, so as not to turn within said aperture but with a gap in a radial direction therebetween; and a bolt inserted through the second insertion hole, first insertion hole and bush, the bolt being screw-engaged with the clamp nut. An end of the clamp nut protrudes outward of said aperture beyond an outer surface of the other mounting leg. The clamp nut screw-engaged with the bolt fixing the generator is prevented from corroding due to anti-freezing agent.

Dependent claims

An on-vehicle generator mounting device comprising:

a stay attached to an engine of a vehicle and provided with a first insertion hole;
a front side mounting leg and a rear side mounting leg of the generator, said legs being disposed on respective sides of said stay;
a second insertion hole provided through one of said front side mounting leg and rear side mounting leg;
a cylindrical mounting-span-adjusting bush fitted to a fitting hole provided through the other of said front side mounting leg and rear side mounting leg so as to be movable along a central axis;
a clamp nut disposed in an apertured portion of said other mounting leg to be adjacent to and coaxial with said mounting-span-adjusting bush, so as not to turn within said aperture but with a gap in a radial direction therebetween;
and a bolt inserted through the second insertion hole of said one mounting leg, through the first insertion hole of said stay and through said mounting-span-adjusting bush, the bolt being screw-engaged with said clamp nut;
wherein an end of said clamp nut not being adjacent to said mounting-span-adjusting bush protrudes outward of said aperture beyond an outer surface of said other mounting leg.
