MOTOR MOUNTING Filed Jan. 20, 1954 Patented" June 8, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT omer;
9 Claims.
The object of. my invention is to provide improved means for supporting the motors of automobiles and other self-propelled vehicles, whereby vibrations generated by the operation of the motors will be effectively prevented from reaching the occupants of the vehicles and detracting from their comfort. This application is a continuation in part of my prior applications Serial No. 590,544, led February 3, 1932, and Serial No, 636,299, led October 5, 1932.
It is a matter of common knowledge that the internal combustion motors which constitute the power plants of practically all automobiles, as well as of many power boats, develop when in operation very pronounced vibrations, which are noticeable particularly during acceleration, deceleration and backing, and when the motor is idling. These vibrations result primarily from the fact that the power strokes of such motors are intermittent and are produced by combustions of explosive violence, so that a uniform torque is impossible and can be approximated only by increasing the number of cylinders beyond what is necessary for adequate power. To do this has become a common practice, and it has been supplemented in some cases by supporting the motor on resilient cushions, but so far as I am aware the suppression of vibrations in the vehicle. body has not been fully accomplished heretofore.
According to my invention, which is particularly adapted and intended for use in connection with motors of the type above referred to, the motor is suspended above its center of gravity by means which permit it to swing freelyV in stable equilibrium, and the range of its swinging movements is limited sufiiciently to keep it in v proper alignment with the driven mechanism by means of cushioning stops suitably located to prevent it from coming in direct contact with the vehicle frame at any point. These stops, however, are not required to carry the weight of the motor, and therefore they remain sufficiently soft and resilient to react to and eectively absorb such vibrations as reach them, throughout the permissible range of bodily movement of the motor.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the preferred form of my invention as designed for use with an automobile motor of the unit type, in which the motor proper is combined with the transmission to form a single structural unit.
In the drawing, v Figure l is a plan view of the motor unit and its supporting means, together with adjacent parts of the chassis frame;
Figure 2 isa side elevation of the same parts, omitting one side of the chassis frame;
Figure 3 is a sectional detail view drawn to a larger scale and showing my preferred form of the motor-suspending means;
Figure 4 shows in frontelevatlon the front end of the cylinder block and means for limitingthe swinging movements of the motor unit at this point;
Figure 5 is a section on the line 5 5 in Figure 4;

Figure 7 is a section on the line 1-1 in Figure 6; and
Figure 8 is a side elevation similar to Figure 2, illustrating a' duplication of the means for suspending the motor unit.
VIn the construction illustrated in Figures 1 to 7 inclusive, the m'otor unit 2 is suspended from an overhead structure which may consist, for example, of side uprights 3 rigidly secured at their lower ends to the side bars 4 of the chassis frame, and a transverse `bar 5 secured to the uprights 3 and located abovethe motor unit. The suspending means are carried by the transverse bar 5, and preferably constitute a species of double universal joint comprising, as shown in Figure 3, inverted cups 6 and 1 secured respectively to the upper face of the bar 5 and to the top of the unit 2, an upright rod 8 passing` through perforations 9 and l0 provided in the bar 5 and in the top of the cup l, respectively, a metal ball H attached to the upper end oi the rod 8 and located in the cup 6, a similar ball I2 attached to the lower end of the rod 8 and located in the cup La ball bearing I3 interposed. between the ball Il and the bar 5, 'and a similar ball bearing I4 interposed between the ball l2 and the top of the cup l.
vIn addition to the parts above described, I prefer to interpose a cushion l5 of live rubber between the ball bearing I3 andthe bar 5, and a similar cushion I6 between the ball bearing i4 and the top of the cup 1, for a reason hereinafter explained. Whenv employed, these CuShiUnS are perforated to permit the rod 8 to pass through them and are in contact with it at the perforations, and the ball bearings I3 and Ul are made capable of vertical movement in the latter, or substantially tached to the bar 5 at such a point that when the motor is at rest and the vehicle containing it is on level ground the weight of the unit 2 will cause it to assume its normal position; in which the motor shaft is in line with the propeller shaft.
From this position it can swing in any direction on either of the ball bearings which carry it, the perforations 9 and Ill being made large enough to permit such movements. It can also turn on the rod 8 as an axis, and it iscapable of undergoing lvarious irregular movements by swinging on both ball bearings at the same time. In other words, so f-ar as its suspension is concerned, it is wholly free from any rigid connection with the chassis,
through which Vibration can be transmitted from it to the chassis and thence to the body of the vehicle.
It will be evident that the above-described movements of the motor unit 2 must be kept within a range which is sufiiciently limited to prevent the motor from taking any position in which its effectiveness in transmitting powerto the driven mechanism would be materially diminished, and this is done by means including vibration-damping devices located below the point of suspension of the unit 2 and interposed between it and the chassis. While the number, location andconstruction of the damping devices may be widely varied, I have obtained the most satisfactory results by providing a damping unit adjacent to the front end of the cylinder block, and another at or near the rear end of the motor unit. When so located, the motor` suspension is above and betweenthern -and at a substantial distance from 'each, resulting in an arrangement analogous to a three-point bearing and similarly effective.
Thedamping unit shown in Figures 2, 4 and 5, which is located at the front end of the motor unit 2, comprises two blocks of live rubber I1 and I8 located one above the other and held respectivey in cups I9 and 2|l, from which they project toward each other. The upper and lower cups I9 and 20 are carried by metal strap`S 2I and 22, respectively, the ends of which are secured to the side bars 4 of the chassis frame, as shown in Figure 4. Between the opposed faces of the rubber blocks I1 and I8, which are similarly curved transversely, as shown, is located the forwardlyprojecting lip 23 of an L-shaped member 24 rigidly secured to the front end of the cylinder block, the lip 23 being curved transversely in conformity with the curvature of the adjacent faces of the blocks I1 and I8 and being in contact with both. Thus this damping unit, in combina tion with the lip 23, provides a cushioning stop which is effective laterally in both directions, as well as vertically.
The other damping unit, located at the rear portion of the motor unit 2 and best shown in Figures 6 and 7, comprises two blocks of live rubber 25 and 26 held respectively in cups 21 and 28 and projecting toward each other therefrom. Their outer ends are concaved to t the outer surface of the transmission casing 29 and are held in contact with it, one above 4and the other below it, by attaching the cups 21 and 28, respectively, to cross bars 30 and 3I which form a part of or are rigidly secured to the chassis frame, thus providing a cushioning stop which,
6 the front end of the motor unit, is .effective` both directly over the center of gravity of the so, and the cup 6 is atlike the one at laterally and vertically. Collectively, the stop limit swinging movements of the motor unit in any direction, endwise as well as sidewise, because all endwise movements have a vertical component due to the location of the point of suspension between the stops, instead of directly above either of them. They also limit turning movements on the suspension as an axis, since they have lateral components at the stops.
The motor-suspending means and the cushioni g stops are so arranged that the weight of the motor unit is carried wholly or mainly by the suspension on minor extent, if at all, by the resilient blocks which constitute the damping elements. Consequently the blocks are normally uncompressed, or substantially so, and hence their effectiveness in damping vibrations is not interfered with by the weight of the motor unit. Since the swinging movements of this unit are necesarily kept within narrow limits, measured by fractions of an inch, it is important that at all points within these limits the damping elements shall remain soft enough to react fully to all vibrations trans- `rnitted to them from the motor,- and this result is obtained in the manner just described.
In operation, the torque reaction of the motor tends to swing it in the opposite direction to that in which the crank shaft rotates, and in some cases, depending upon the weight distribution, the motor may also tend to twist or otherwise displace itself under the iniiuence of the resultant of all the forces generated within it when running. Consequently, if the cushioning stops were omitted and the motor were allowed to idle on level ground, it would move a short distance out of its normal position when not running and would come to rest as soon as the weight of the engine block sufced to balance the resultant force which displaced it. In such case no vibrations would be transmitted to the chassis frame because the swing of Athe block would be unopposed except by its own weight and there would be no path through which vibrations could travel, while the forces which would produce vibrations if the swing were opposed `would bedissipated or expended in producing the swing itself. Al-
though the cushioning stops which keep the motor in proper alignment necessarily limit its free swing, its capacity to swing against its own weight t,
Within the limits permitted has the effect of dissipating the internal vibration-producing forces to a substantial extent, whereby the violence of the Vibrations transmitted to the stops is correspondingly lessened, and even if the stops ar'.
kept in contact with the engine block, asis preferably the case, and may therefore carry an inconsiderable fraction ofthe weight of the block in some positions, it has been found by actual performance that the stops are nevertheless effective to keep the movements of the block within the permissible range without being sufficiently compressed to prevent their absorption of such vibrations as reach them. This important result would be incapable of attainment if the Swinging movements of the block were not opposed by its own weight or, in other words, if it were not supported so as to swing in stable equilibrium.
The cushions I5 and I6, when employed, have some capacity to absorb vibrations, but their which it swings, and only to a main function is to diminish the effect of road nection between the unit and the frame at any point. These and the other features of my invention, above described, result in a freedom from vibration and a degree of riding comfort which, as I have found by road tests, are not equalled by any prior construction with which I am acquainted, even when my supporting means are applied to a motor having fewer cylinders than are customarily employed.
`In Figure 8 I have shown a modified arrange'- ment in which the motor unit 2 is hung -on two suspensions 8', 8', carried by an overhead structure 5 which is secured to the chassisframe at the rear of the motor unit and includes a diagonal brace 32 to give it rigidity. 'I'he suspensions 8', 8', are duplicates ofthe one shown in Figure 3 and their mode of operation is the same in all material respects. This arrangement may. be used when it is desirable to distribute the weight of the motor unit.
My motor-supporting means can be applied to motors of various kinds and types of construction,
asV will be evident, and the manner in which the cushioning stops are applied to the motor may be varied in accordance with the requirements of each particular case. It is not essential to employ a double joint in the suspending means, or to include a ball-bearing therein, so long as the swinging movements of the motor are provided for, and the details Vof construction and arrangement of the other parts may be modified widely in various ways within the scope of the appended claims.
