Abstract

A bearing for a motor vehicle has an inner part and an outer part which surrounds the inner part. An elastomer body connects the inner part and the outer part to one another by at least one spring leg which is provided substantially below the inner part in the direction of the weight force (G). A plug-in holder is at least partially received by the inner part. The inner part has a cutout on one side filled at least in some regions with an elastomer material. The plug-in holder has a stop opposite the cutout. The stop presses the elastomer material of the cutout against the outer part.

Claims (13)

1. A bearing for a motor vehicle, the bearing being subjected to a weight force (G) having a predetermined direction and comprising:

an inner part having a side defining a cutout;

an outer part disposed in surrounding relationship to said inner part;

an elastomer body defining a spring leg interconnecting said inner and outer parts;

said spring leg arranged essentially underneath said inner part in the direction of said weight force (G);

an insert holder configured to be at least partially accommodated in said inner part;

elastomeric material filling at least regions of said cutout;

said insert holder having a stop lying opposite said cutout; and,

said stop being configured to press said elastomeric material against said outer part when said insert holder is accommodated in said inner part.

2. The bearing of claim 1 , wherein said insert holder and said stop thereof are configured as a single piece.

3. The bearing of claim 1 , wherein said stop is configured as a tongue-shaped projection.

4. The bearing of claim 1 , wherein said spring leg lies essentially opposite relative to both said elastomeric material and said stop.

5. The bearing of claim 1 , wherein said elastomeric material filling at least regions of said cutout is a first elastomeric material; and, said bearing comprises a second elastomeric material surrounding said first elastomeric material; and, said first and second elastomeric materials have respectively different Shore hardnesses.
