Claim 39:
40. In an engine mount device comprising:
a housing, a carrier within the housing, and
at least one flexure flexibly connecting the carrier to the housing, with a trunnion pin being disposed in a hole in the carrier to support an engine,
a method of providing isolation in the engine mount device, the method comprising:
transmitting a force from the trunnion pin into the carrier;
mechanically isolating the carrier from the housing via the at least one flexure; and
providing, via the at least one flexure, a higher stiffness in one or more radial direction of the hole compared to a stiffness provided in an axial direction of the hole, and
limiting a deflection of the carrier relative to the housing by forming one or more snubbing surfaces in the housing and/or the carrier.
