Abstract:
A method of forming a bond between a first bracket member and a resilient rubber body containing at least 40 weight percent of at least one of polyisoprene rubber or neoprene in a vehicle mount comprising a first bracket member, a second bracket member and said resilient rubber body sandwiched between said bracket members, said method comprisingforming on a surface of at least one of said bracket members a coating of an epoxy resin cured at least to an immobile film at room temperature, chlorinating a surface of said rubber body provided that said body does not inherently contain chlorine in the form of neoprene rubber, pressing said chlorinated surface against said epoxy resin-coated surface, and heating said rubber body and bracket to a bond-forming temperature and maintaining said pressure and temperature for a time sufficient to form said bond.
