Abstract
ABSTRACT
A support bracket is disclosed made of a cast material having an embedded reinforcing plate with preformed holes of a diameter greater than that of corresponding holes drilled through the cast material. The cast material is preferably a relatively lighter and readily machinable material, such as aluminum, while the reinforcing plate is of a relatively stiffer and harder material, such as steel. The larger diameter of the reinforcing plate holes enables holes to be drilled through the support bracket with cutting into the hard material of the reinforcing plate. The reinforcing plate is advantageously configured to increase the natural frequency of vibration of the bracket.

CAST REINFORCED B~CK~T
~ACKGROUND OF THE ~NVENTION
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to cast metal brackets, and, more specifically, to cast metal brackets having an embedded stiffening plate.
Description of the Related Art Cast metal brackets are frequently used as support members in applications where the bracke~ must be formed in a special shape or configuration. A typical application is a mounting bracket for an internal combustion engine. The bracket is bolted to the engine and has support members extending outwardly for supportin~ components such as an alternator, power steering pump, or any o~ a wide variet~ of devices.
In an application such as an internal combustion engine, the bracket must be specially shaped to avoid interferences with other components in the typically crowded engine compartment of modern vehicles. Furthermore, it i9 highly desirable to make the bracket as light in wei~ht as possible to improve fuel economy. To meet these end~, such brackets will often be configured with rather slender support members and thin wall thicknesses. Cast metal, particularly aluminum, is well suited to meet such requirements.
Brackets as described above, particularly those used on engines, will be subject to significant stresses. The bracket must be able to withstand such stresses with out excessive deflection. Vibrations may be severe, and it is particularly important that the natural frequencies of the vibration modes of the bracket be higher than the vibration frequencies of the engine to which the bracket is mounted; otherwise, the vibrations of the engine would induce e~cessive bracket vibration amplitudes and might even cause the bracket to crack and fail.
2~7~t~
One approach to increasing the strength an~ natural frequency oE vibration of the bracket is to thicken the bracket.
However, this leads to an undesirable increase in weight and difficulties in fitting the bracket into cramped spaces. A
second approach is to make the bracket out of stronger and stiffer materials. However, such materials tend to be heavier and harder. Material hardness is a significant problem in that machining of the bracket is made more difficult. A third approach is to manufacture the bracket with an embedded reinforcing plate, the reinforcing plate being designed to strengthen and increase the natural ~requency of the bracket as needed.
Cast metal brackets are usually manufactured by first casting the metal, machining the ca~ting to obtain precision surfaces, and by drilling to form holes for bolts or other fasteners or penetrations. Although the metal used for the outer body of the casting, typically aluminum, may be readily machinable, the reinforcing plate material, typically steel, will be more resistant to machining. Drilled holes will be particularly di~ficult to produce, since the drill must pass through the hard reinforcing plate material as well as the softer outer body material of the bracket.
~ ccordingly, there is a heretofore unmet need for a cast bra~ket that may be made in shapes suitable for cramped spaces, that is light in weight yet strong and stiff enough to resist vibrations, and is readily machinable.
SUMMA~Y OF THE INVENTION
The present invention satisfies the aforemen~ioned need by providing a cast metal brac~et having an embedded reinforcing plate, the reinforcing plate having preformed holes which are larger in diameter tha~ the holes to be drilled through the bracket. In this manner, the drill bit does not need to cut through the harder material of the reinforcing plate.
Brackets made according to the present invention may be made in any desired configuration. Since it is not necessary to machine through the reinforcing plate, the plate may be made of extremely strong and tough materials, thus enabling the bracket to be formed in shapes having thin members which would otherwise be unable to resist the forces imposed on the bracket.
These and other objects, advantages, and features of the present invention will be more fully understood and appreciated by reference to the written specification and appended drawings.

Fig. 1 is a front view of a cast reinforced support bracket for an internal combustion engine according to the principles of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the rein~orcing plate u~ed within the bracket of Fig. l;
Fig. 3 i5 a sectional view taken alony the line III-III of Fig. l;
Fig. 4 i8 a sectional view taken along the line IV-IV
of Fig. l; and Fig. 5 is a perspective view, partially sectioned, of a second cast reinforced support bracket according to the principles of the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIM~NT
By way of disclosing a preferred embodiment, and not by way of limitation, there is shown in Fig. 1 a support bracket 10 for an internal combustion engine. In its general organization, 3Q the bracket has a central section 12 which i8 adapted to be bolted to an engine or an engine component, and outwardly 3 ~ ~
extending members 14, 16 which are adapted to support other engine components such as an alternator 18 and a power steering pump 20. The central section 12 of the bracket i8 formed with three holes 22, 24, 26 which are drilled through the bracket.
These holes are provided for the passage of bolts for attaching the bracket. Other holes 28, 30, 32 are provided for other fasteners as needed.
The outer body of the bracket is made of a cast metal such as 380 aluminum chosen for its castability and light weight.
Embedded within the aluminum body of the bracket generally surrounding a central opening 34 is a steel reinforcing plate 36.
As best shown in Fig. 2, the reinforcing plate is a relative thin member shaped as a ring having a perpendicularly off3et tongue 38. The shape of the reinforcing plate 36 is specific to the particular bracket shown in Fig. 1. It should be understood that the principles of the invention are applicable to an unlimited variety of other bracket and reinforcing plate shapes, sizes, and configurations.
The ring portion of the bracket is preformed with three holes 40, 42, and 44 which correspond in location to the holes 22, 24, and 26 of the finished bracket. As best shown in Figs. 3 and 4, each of the reinforcing plate holes has a diameter somewhat larger than the holes of the finished bracketO The reinforcing plate holes are substantially concentric with the finished holes 22, 24, 26.
Brackets according to the invention are manufactured by first forming the reinforcing plate with the desired shape and holes, then supporting the plate in the desired position within the cavity of a casting die. Molten metal is then poured into the die. As a result, the reinforcing plate is embedded within the bracket. Holes such as holes 22, 24 and 26 are then drilled {~
through the brac~et. Since the diameters of the reinforcing plate holes 40, 42, and 44 are greater than the diameters of the drilled holes 22, 24, and 26, the drill bit cuts only through the sof~er metal of the body 46 of the bracket, not through the harder, less machinable reinforcing plate metal. The resulting bracket is relatively light in weight, yet has sufficient strength and rigidity to resist the forces imposed by a harsh, vibrating environment, such as an engine compartment.
Fig. 5 shows a second example of a bracket 50 according to the invention. The configuration of bracket 50 contains a number of bends 52, 53, 54, surfaces 56, 57, 58, and a relatively narrow neck 60. The steel reinforcing plate 62 is conveniently bent, shaped, and preformed with holes such as hole 64 to be embedded within the cast aluminum body 66 in khe same manner as descri~ed above.
The above description is that of a preferred embodiment of the invention. Various alterations and changes can be made without departing from the spirit and broader aspects of the invention as set forth in the appended claims, which are to be interpreted in accordance with the principles of patent law, including the Doctrine of Equivalents.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIM~NT
By way of disclosing a preferred embodiment, and not by way of limitation, there is shown in Fig. 1 a support bracket 10 for an internal combustion engine. In its general organization, 3Q the bracket has a central section 12 which i8 adapted to be bolted to an engine or an engine component, and outwardly 3 ~ ~
extending members 14, 16 which are adapted to support other engine components such as an alternator 18 and a power steering pump 20. The central section 12 of the bracket i8 formed with three holes 22, 24, 26 which are drilled through the bracket.
These holes are provided for the passage of bolts for attaching the bracket. Other holes 28, 30, 32 are provided for other fasteners as needed.
The outer body of the bracket is made of a cast metal such as 380 aluminum chosen for its castability and light weight.
Embedded within the aluminum body of the bracket generally surrounding a central opening 34 is a steel reinforcing plate 36.
As best shown in Fig. 2, the reinforcing plate is a relative thin member shaped as a ring having a perpendicularly off3et tongue 38. The shape of the reinforcing plate 36 is specific to the particular bracket shown in Fig. 1. It should be understood that the principles of the invention are applicable to an unlimited variety of other bracket and reinforcing plate shapes, sizes, and configurations.
The ring portion of the bracket is preformed with three holes 40, 42, and 44 which correspond in location to the holes 22, 24, and 26 of the finished bracket. As best shown in Figs. 3 and 4, each of the reinforcing plate holes has a diameter somewhat larger than the holes of the finished bracketO The reinforcing plate holes are substantially concentric with the finished holes 22, 24, 26.
Brackets according to the invention are manufactured by first forming the reinforcing plate with the desired shape and holes, then supporting the plate in the desired position within the cavity of a casting die. Molten metal is then poured into the die. As a result, the reinforcing plate is embedded within the bracket. Holes such as holes 22, 24 and 26 are then drilled {~
through the brac~et. Since the diameters of the reinforcing plate holes 40, 42, and 44 are greater than the diameters of the drilled holes 22, 24, and 26, the drill bit cuts only through the sof~er metal of the body 46 of the bracket, not through the harder, less machinable reinforcing plate metal. The resulting bracket is relatively light in weight, yet has sufficient strength and rigidity to resist the forces imposed by a harsh, vibrating environment, such as an engine compartment.
Fig. 5 shows a second example of a bracket 50 according to the invention. The configuration of bracket 50 contains a number of bends 52, 53, 54, surfaces 56, 57, 58, and a relatively narrow neck 60. The steel reinforcing plate 62 is conveniently bent, shaped, and preformed with holes such as hole 64 to be embedded within the cast aluminum body 66 in khe same manner as descri~ed above.
