Patent ID: 8308148

Claim:
A secondary body to frame mounting assembly for mounting to a primary elastomeric body mount member interconnecting a first component to an offrigger bracket of a second component, the primary elastomeric body mount being operable to transfer operative loads between the first and second components comprising: a hydraulic body mount having an upper chamber detachably and selectively connected to the primary elastomeric mount, a lower chamber, a rigid central member separating the upper and lower chambers, and an outer can having a connection member being detachably connected to the offrigger bracket of the second component, the offrigger bracket including a slot receiving the connection member to allow a selective attachment of the outer can to the offrigger bracket, the central member including a fixed channel formed therein with a first port in flow communication with the upper chamber and a second port radially spaced from the first port and being in flow communication with the lower chamber for the transfer of fluid between the upper and lower chambers to dampen the movement of the primary elastomeric body mount detachably connected to the upper chamber, the hydraulic body mount being operable to dampen the deflections of the primary elastomeric body mount, the slot on the offrigger bracket being formed as a bayonet slot to facilitate the attachment of the connection member thereto.
