Abstract
503,514. Mounting motors. MAIER, F. July 5, 1937, No. 18683. Void. Convention date, July 6, 1936. [Class 79 (iii)] To avoid drumming noises in motor vehicles constructed without a separate chassis frame, an engine block with vertical cylinders is carried entirely by connections to vertical walls or strut structures of the vehicle body, eliminating direct connection or transmission of forces to horizontal surfaces, whilst in the case of engines with horizontal or inclined cylinders the connections are correspondingly to horizontal or oblique walls resistant to bending. In one form, Figs. 1 and 2 (not shown), a front vertical engine is carried on transverse tubes secured to the side walls of a bonnet compartment, the wall areas around the tubes being strengthened. by radial surface struts. As shown in Fig. 3, a rear engine a is mounted on a transverse angle bar g and an axle tube h, both of which are connected at their ends to side frames of the body structure, such frames extending beyond the rear wall l of the passenger compartment and being spring supported on the road wheels, whilst the axle shafts m pass through the tube h. In Fig. 5, the engine block is carried by pairs of stay-rods n, o, p incorporating shock absorbers r; and hinged to comer pieces at the junction of the rear wall l with the side walls. In the mounting of the engine on a transverse beam t, Fig. 6, rubber &c. shock absorbers s, u, v may be provided, the shock absorbers u, between the beam t and the vertical wall w being disposed, adjustably or otherwise, at unequal distances from the axis x of the beam to regulate the damping effect. In Fig. 7, a cross beam b is shown bolted to a rubber shock absorber s mounted in a circular opening in the vertical wall c by means of a peripheral metal ring y vulcanized in the rubber. The 'bolt z may be eccentrically disposed in the member s if an asymmetric effect is desired or the rubber body s may be shaped or dimensioned, to react to stresses in specific directions. The mounting shown in Fig. 7 may be employed in the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, to connect the road wheel bearings or the axle tube h to the vertical side walls of the vehicle.
