Patent ID: 7510163

Claim:
An apparatus ( 10 ) for elastic mounting of a hydraulic unit ( 11 ) of a vehicle brake system in a vehicle, comprising: a mounting bracket ( 12 ) having first ( 13 ) and second ( 14 ) legs extending at right angles to one another and on which the unit ( 11 ) is supported by means of elastomer elements ( 17 , 18 ) through which bolts ( 15 , 16 ) pass, the unit ( 11 ) being mountable on the bracket ( 12 ) in a direction ( 45 ) perpendicular to the first leg ( 13 ), one of said bolts ( 15 ), extending in the mounting direction ( 45 ) of the unit ( 11 ) and into the hydraulic unit, being associated with the first leg ( 13 ), the second leg ( 14 ) of the mounting bracket ( 12 ) having at least one recess ( 21 , 22 ), open counter to the mounting direction ( 45 ), for receiving one of the elastomer element ( 18 ) with an axis extending perpendicular to the plane of the second leg ( 14 ), said one of the elastomer elements ( 18 ) being a hollow-cylindrical elastomer element, a second of said bolts extending through said hollow-cylindrical elastomer element and into the hydraulic unit, the hollow-cylindrical elastomer element ( 18 ) associated with the second leg ( 14 ) of the mounting bracket ( 12 ) having a reduced-diameter middle portion ( 40 ), which is placed in the recess ( 21 , 22 ) of the second leg ( 14 ) of the mounting bracket ( 12 ); the middle portion ( 40 ) of the hollow-cylindrical elastomer element ( 18 ) being embraced over more than half its circumference by the second leg ( 14 ) of the mounting bracket ( 12 ); the hollow-cylindrical elastomer element ( 18 ) associated with the second leg ( 14 ) of the mounting bracket ( 12 ) being both radially widened and axially shortened by clamping means ( 34 , 35 , 36 ) disposed on the second of said bolts ( 16 ); and the hollow-cylindrical elastomer element ( 18 ) being pressed with its middle portion ( 40 ) against the recess ( 21 , 22 ) and with its end portions ( 38 , 39 ), adjoining the middle portion ( 40 ) on either side, against the two side faces ( 24 , 25 ), defining the recess ( 21 , 22 ), of the second leg ( 14 ) of the mounting bracket ( 12 ).
