Abstract
A pendulum support is particularly suited for supporting an engine unit. The support has two mutually spaced-apart fixing elements for connecting two bodies that can be displaced in relation to one another. The fixing elements are elastically interconnected. The object is to provide a pendulum support with a high degree of deflection that is cost-effective to produce. The base body has two base body elements, which are interconnected by at least one elastic shear element. At least one of the base body elements is formed with a cavity, wherein one area of the other base body element is contained with a degree of deflection.
Claims8
A pendulum mount, comprising:
- first and second, mutually spaced-apart means for joining two bodies movable relative to one another;
- a base body formed with first and second base body elements;
- at least one thrust element joining said first and second base body elements to one another;
- at least said first base body element being formed with a recess and a portion of said second base body element is incorporated in said recess with freedom of excursion;
- said portion incorporated in said recess being a housing receiving one of said first and second means for joining, each of said means for joining being supported by an elastic supporting member, said second base body element having a substantially flat base surface area with said housing projecting from said base surface area perpendicularly, and said recess and said housing define an excursion space delimiting the freedom of excursion, the horizontal excursion of the housing within the recess being limited during use by a stop formed in the wall of the recess;
- and
- wherein said base body elements are deep drawn parts of sheet metal.
