Abstract:
1. Bearing for a shock absorber element via an elastomer element on a vehicle body, comprising a cover, a bearing plate mountable on the vehicle body, the elastomer element being accommodated in an indentation in the bearing plate, wherein the elastomer element is configured to be held essentially without prestress between the cover and the bearing plate in an uninstalled state, whereas in an installed state the elastomer element is compressed between the cover and the bearing plate, so the cover is supported on the vehicle body, and wherein the elastomer element includes a fixed supporting piece and an elastic buffer element whereby the supporting piece is fixedly connected first to the absorber element and is accommodated on all sides in the elastic buffer element, the elastomer element has at least one recess on a circumference thereof, said recess corresponding to at least one protrusion in the indentation in the bearing plate, with the at least one recess being provided in the supporting piece, the bearing plate is configured with a contact surface on the vehicle body and a contact surface for the elastomer element that are non-parallel with respect to one another to define an angle greater than zero between a contact surface of the cover facing the vehicle body and a contact surface of the cover facing the elastomer element and a restraint is provided between the cover and the bearing plate, the cover having a peripheral edge on a side thereof facing the vehicle body and being contoured for targeted prestressing of the elastomer element in predetermined regions on a side thereof facing the elastomer element.
