Abstract:
1. An engine mount comprising: an upper mounting plate fixture adapted to be fixed to a power unit; a lower mounting plate fixture disposed facing to the upper mounting plate fixture at a distance from each other, and adapted to be fixed to a vehicle body; a rubber elastic body disposed between and elastically connecting the upper and lower mounting plate fixtures, the engine mount adapted to be disposed on either side of a torque roll axis of the power unit with the upper and lower mounting plate fixtures respectively fixed to the power unit and vehicle body so that an elastic main axis of the rubber elastic body is disposed at an incline slanting upward toward an inside of the power unit; an upper stopper formed by being integrally formed with the upper mounting plate fixture or by fixing a separate fixture to the upper mounting plate fixture such that a downward facing protrusion is provided protruding downward on a side of the power unit from the upper mounting plate fixture, and a distal end of the downward facing protrusion is bent into an L-shape, so as to provide a first contact component extending generally horizontally toward the rubber elastic body; a lower stopper formed by being integrally formed with the lower mounting plate fixture or by fixing a separate fixture to the lower mounting plate fixture such that an upward facing protrusion is provided protruding upward on the side of the power unit from the lower mounting plate fixture, and a distal end of the upward facing protrusion is bent into an L-shape, so as to provide a second contact component extending generally horizontally toward a side opposite the rubber elastic body, whereby the first contact component is thrust into the bottom of the second contact component so that the first and second contact components are positioned facing each other at a distance from each other generally in a vertical direction; and a cushioning rubber formed on at least one of the first and second contact components to form a stopper mechanism in a rebound direction, wherein the upper stopper is bolted to the power unit at a position deviating more toward the inside of the power unit than a position of the elastic main axis of the rubber elastic body on the upper mounting plate fixture so that the stopper mechanism in the rebound direction is positioned generally vertically below the position where the upper stopper is bolted to the power unit, and wherein the lower stopper is bolted to the vehicle body at a position deviating more toward the inside of the power unit than the position of the elastic main axis of the rubber elastic body on the lower mounting plate fixture.
