Patent ID: 7828262

Claim:
A damping and mounting structure for a motor, comprising: a bracket to which a motor is mounted, the bracket being provided with through-holes; a housing having a driven element which is driven by the motor on the bracket; threaded holes and cylindrical positioning recesses provided in the housing, the cylindrical positioning recesses extending coaxially with respect to the threaded holes and being positioned such that set screws first advance through the cylindrical positioning recesses and then into the threaded holes; damper bushes made of an elastic material, mounted in the through-holes; and the set screws having positioning shaft portions which are inserted in the cylindrical positioning recesses and threaded portions which engage with the threaded holes, the threaded portions being positioned at an opposite side of the positioning shaft portions from heads of the set screws, the set screws being inserted in the damper bushes from a surface of the bracket and are screwed in threaded holes, wherein the cylindrical positioning recesses limit movement of the set screws in an insertion direction of the set screws, wherein a position of the set screws is determined by a portion of the housing defining the difference in diameters of the cylindrical positioning recesses and the threaded holes and by the difference in diameters of the positioning shaft portions and threaded portions, and wherein the diameter of the positioning shaft portions is larger than the diameter of threaded portions to be screwed in the threaded holes.
