Abstract

An assembly bearing for a motor vehicle assembly includes an inner part, an elastomer supporting body in which the inner part is embedded, and an outer part that surrounds the supporting body. In embodiments, the outer part includes a first part and a second part that are clipped to at least one fastening element connected to the supporting body.

Claims (41)

1. An assembly bearing for a motor vehicle assembly, comprising:

an inner part,

an elastomeric supporting body in which the inner part is embedded, and

an outer part which surrounds the supporting body,

wherein the outer part has a first part and a separate second part which are clipped to at least one fastening element that surrounds the inner part and which is connected to the supporting body; the at least one fastening element has at least one pair of protrusions, and a first protrusion engages a cutout of the first part and a second protrusion engages a cutout of the second part to clip the first part and the second part to the fastening element.

2. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first part and the second part has at least one stop on an inner circumferential surface which faces the supporting body.

3. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each protrusion has a lead-in chamfer for insertion into the cutout.

4. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one fastening element has at least one centering element which engages orifices of the first part and the second part in a positively locking manner.

5. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the first part and the second part has a positively locking connecting element and a corresponding receptacle for the connecting element.

6. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fastening element is inserted, in a positive locking manner, into a depression formed in an inner circumference surface of each of the first and second parts.

7. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first part and the second part are configured in the form of half-shells and are connected to one another at opposite abutment surfaces.

8. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one fastening element is connected to the supporting body in a positively locking, force-fitting and/or materially bonded manner.

9. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fastening element is a ring element.

10. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fastening element and/or the first part and the second part are/is composed of plastic.

11. An assembly bearing for a motor vehicle assembly, comprising:

an inner part,

an elastomeric supporting body in which the inner part is embedded, and

an outer part which surrounds the supporting body,

wherein the outer part has a first part and a separate second part that are clipped to at least one fastening element that surrounds the inner part and which is connected to the supporting body; at least one of the first part and the second part has at least one stop on an inner circumferential surface which faces the supporting body; the at least one fastening element has at least one pair of protrusions; and a first protrusion engages a cutout of the first part and a second protrusion engages a cutout of the second part to clip the first part and the second part to the fastening element.

12. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 11 , wherein each protrusion has a lead-in chamfer for insertion into the cutout.

13. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the at least one fastening element is connected to the supporting body in a positively locking, force-fitting and/or materially bonded manner.

14. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the fastening element is a ring element.

15. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the fastening element and/or the first part and the second part are/is composed of plastic.

16. An assembly bearing for a motor vehicle assembly, comprising:

an inner part,

an elastomeric supporting body in which the inner part is embedded, and

an outer part which surrounds the supporting body,

wherein the outer part has a first part and a separate second part that are clipped to at least one fastening element that surrounds the inner part and which is connected to the supporting body; at least one of the first part and the second part has at least one stop on an inner circumferential surface which faces the supporting body; and the at least one fastening element has at least one centering element which engages orifices of the first part and the second part in a positively locking manner.

17. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the at least one fastening element is connected to the supporting body in a positively locking, force-fitting and/or materially bonded manner.

18. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the fastening element is a ring element.

19. The assembly bearing as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the fastening element and/or the first part and the second part are/is composed of plastic.

20. An assembly bearing for a motor vehicle assembly, comprising:

an inner part,

an elastomeric supporting body in which the inner part is embedded, and

an outer part which surrounds the supporting body,

wherein the outer part has a first part and a separate second part which are clipped to at least one fastening element that surrounds the inner part and which is connected to the supporting body; and the at least one fastening element has at least one centering element which engages orifices of the first part and the second part in a positively locking manner.

21. An assembly bearing for a motor vehicle assembly, comprising:

an inner part,

an elastomeric supporting body in which the inner part is embedded, and

an outer part which surrounds the supporting body,

wherein the outer part has a first part and a separate second part which are clipped to at least one fastening element that surrounds the inner part and which is connected to the supporting body; and the fastening element is inserted, in a positive locking manner, into a depression formed in an inner circumference surface of each of the first and second parts.
