Abstract

The invention relates to an engine mount pendulum support device for supporting an engine relative to the body of a motor vehicle. The engine mount pendulum support device comprises a first attachment region for attaching the engine mount pendulum support device to the body, which attachment region comprises a first attachment surface for contact with the body, a second attachment region for attaching the engine mount pendulum support device to the body, which attachment region comprises a second attachment surface for contact with the body, a third attachment region for attaching the engine to the engine mount pendulum support device, wherein the first attachment region and the second attachment region are elastically connected to the third attachment region via a first elastic mount and via a second elastic mount, wherein the first attachment region and the second attachment region are firmly connected to each other by a connection member.

Claims (24)

1. An engine mount pendulum support device for supporting an engine relative to a body of a motor vehicle, comprising:

a first attachment region for attaching the engine mount pendulum support device to the body, including a first attachment surface for contact with the body,

a second attachment region for attaching the engine mount pendulum support device to the body, including a second attachment surface for contact with the body,

a third attachment region for attaching the engine to the engine mount pendulum support device,

wherein the second attachment surface is offset from a plane defined by the first attachment surface; the first attachment region and the second attachment region are elastically connected to the third attachment region via a first elastic mount, which is configured for absorbing vibrations in a first direction, and via a second elastic mount, which is configured for absorbing vibrations in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and the first attachment region and the second attachment region are firmly connected to each other by a connection member; wherein the first elastic mount is disposed between the first attachment region and the third attachment region, and the second elastic mount is disposed between the second attachment region and the third attachment region.

2. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and the second attachment surfaces include an angle unequal to 0°.

3. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 1 , wherein the first elastic mount comprises a hydromount, a rectangular engine mount, or a rubber-metal engine mount.

4. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 3 , wherein, the second elastic mount comprises a pendulum support mount.

5. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 1 , wherein, the second elastic mount comprises a pendulum support mount.

6. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 5 , wherein the pendulum support mount comprises a first pendulum support bushing, which is fastened to the second attachment region; a second pendulum support bushing, which is fastened to the third attachment region; and a pendulum support, which connects the first pendulum support bushing to the second pendulum support bushing.

7. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 6 , wherein the second attachment region is provided directly on the first pendulum support bushing on a side surface of the first pendulum support bushing.

8. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 6 , wherein the second pendulum support bushing is provided on a cantilever of the third attachment region, and the second pendulum support bushing, by means of the cantilever, is offset from the first elastic mount in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

9. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 6 , wherein the second pendulum support bushing is offset in the first direction from the first elastic mount, and disposed above the first elastic mount.

10. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 6 , wherein an axial direction of the first pendulum support bushing and/or of the second pendulum support bushing matches the first direction.

11. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 1 , wherein one or more of the first attachment region, the second attachment region, the third attachment region, and the connection member is fabricated from steel.

12. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 1 , wherein one or more of the first attachment region, the second attachment region, the third attachment region, and the connection member is fabricated from aluminum.

13. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 1 , wherein one or more of the first attachment region, the second attachment region, the third attachment region, and the connection member is fabricated from magnesium.

14. The engine mount pendulum support device according to claim 1 , wherein one or more of the first attachment region, the second attachment region, the third attachment region, and the connection member is fabricated from plastic.

15. An engine mount pendulum support device for supporting an engine relative to a body of a motor vehicle, comprising:

a first attachment region for attaching the engine mount pendulum support device to the body, including a first attachment surface for contact with the body,

a second attachment region for attaching the engine mount pendulum support device to the body, including a second attachment surface for contact with the body,

a third attachment region for attaching the engine to the engine mount pendulum support device,

wherein the second attachment surface is offset from a plane defined by the first attachment surface; the first attachment region and the second attachment region are elastically connected to the third attachment region via a first elastic mount, which is configured for absorbing vibrations in a first direction, and via a second elastic mount, which is configured for absorbing vibrations in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and the first attachment region and the second attachment region are firmly connected to each other by a connection member;

wherein, the second elastic mount comprises a pendulum support mount; and wherein the pendulum support mount comprises a first pendulum support bushing, which is fastened to the second attachment region; a second pendulum support bushing, which is fastened to the third attachment region; and a pendulum support, which connects the first pendulum support bushing to the second pendulum support bushing.
