Engine mount assembly for a vehicle drive unit
An engine mount for a drive unit in a vehicle includes a bracket having first and second joining points for attachment of the bracket to the drive unit. A first mounting member connects the bracket to the drive unit in the first joining point along a first joining axis. An engine mount is arranged on a vehicle body and supports the drive unit via the bracket. A second mounting member connects the bracket to the drive unit in the second joining point along a second joining axis. The first and second joining axes extend at a slant to each other by an axis angle.
Power train supporting structure for vehicle
A power train supporting structure for a vehicle is provided with: a power train including a transversely disposed engine, a transmission, and a transfer; and a rear mount bracket which connects a rear portion of the power train and a suspension cross member. A front portion of the rear mount bracket is connected to the transfer at a position which is below a drive shaft, and is in a vehicle up-down directional area that is an overlapping of the transmission and the transfer in view of the vehicle width direction.
ROLL RESTRICTOR SYSTEM FOR AN AUTOMOTIVE POWERTRAIN
An aspect of the invention provides a roll restrictor system for an automotive powertrain, comprising: a torque roll restrictor bracket configured for attachment to the automotive powertrain; wherein attachment is mediated by a bushing; wherein the bushing is provided within a bearing which facilitates rotation of the bushing within the torque roll restrictor bracket.
Cover for automobile engine
A cover for an automobile engine covers a crank pulley and an auxiliary drive belt of an engine arranged in an engine room with the crank pulley and the auxiliary drive belt being in a posture facing a front direction of a vehicle body. The cover includes a reinforcing body that includes a fastening part attaching to the engine and is integrated with a sound-absorbing main body.
POWER UNIT MOUNT STRUCTURE
A mount member is located between a front cross member and a power unit of a suspension member. The mount member includes a damper fixed to the front cross member of the suspension member and a bracket fixed to an upper end of the damper. The bracket couples the damper to the power unit. An extension wall extends downward from the bracket. The extension wall at least partially overlaps the damper in a side view.
DAMPED TORQUE ROLL RESTRICTOR
A torque roll restrictor assembly for a vehicle includes a first member configured for connection with a body of a vehicle, a second member rotatably connected to the first member and configured for connection with a powertrain of said vehicle, and a damper connected to the first member. A first member may include a first portion, a second portion to which the second member may be rotatably connected, and a third portion connecting the first portion and the second portion. A first portion of the first member may include an outer wall, an inner wall defining a channel, at least one bushing disposed between the inner wall and the outer wall, and a connector configured to connect the first member to said body of said vehicle. A connector may be at least partially disposed within the channel.
DAMPING MEMBER AND DAMPING MEMBER FABRICATION PROCESS
A torque rod is provided to be linked with a vibration-producing portion and a vibration-receiving portion. A fiber-shaped resin is woven between plural arrayed fiber-shaped reinforcing members. The fiber-shaped resin is melted to form a thermoplastic resin layer that is integrated with the reinforcing members. A thermoplastic resin that forms a covering layer is laminated onto a surface of the thermoplastic resin layer.
Vehicle front structure
A vehicle front structure includes a connecting member (10) formed of a belt-shaped metal plate, the connecting member (10) has a plate-shaped bottom section (11), a first folded section (12) formed by folding a circumferential edge of the bottom section (11) and a circumferential wall section (13) that is formed in a continuous annular shape and that continues to the bottom section (11) via a folded section (12), and the bottom section (11) of the connecting member is formed in a V shape upward or downward in a longitudinal direction.
Mounting structure for fuel cell drive system
In a mounting structure for a fuel cell drive system, a mount member includes a first mount and a second mount. The first mount connects the first end of a stack case to the first frame. The second mount connects the second end of an auxiliary device case to the second frame. The fuel cell drive system includes a first connecting member and a second connecting member. The first connecting member connects the stack case and a motor to each other. The second connecting member connects the auxiliary device case and a speed reducer to each other.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM FOR AN AIRCRAFT AUXILIARY POWER UNIT
A suspension system for an aircraft auxiliary power unit located in a fuselage structure, the system including: struts (10), auxiliary power unit attachment brackets (51, 52) for connecting the strut (10) to the auxiliary power unit (30), vibration isolators (5) for joining the struts (10) and the auxiliary power unit attachment bracket (51, 52), a cone-bolt (1) attached to the auxiliary power unit attachment brackets (51, 52) and having a longitudinal threaded hollow, an inner bolt (2) partially located within the hollow of the cone-bolt (1) and threaded to it (1), an outer bolt (3) having a longitudinal through-hole and partially located within the hollow of the cone-bolt (1) and including an external thread that engages the thread of the cone-bolt (1), the inner bolt (2) extending across the hollow of said outer bolt (3).
