FRONT Moron. MOUNTING Application lecl July 9, 1932. Serial No. 621,638.
This invention relates to a novel device produced in pairs, for supporting the front end of the motor of a Model A Ford car.
As lreceived from the factory, the front end of the motor of this car is cushioned by means of coil springs. While rsuch springs answer the purpose for `which they are installed, it is well known to all users of this' type of carvthat the constant vibration of the springs produces crystallization after a greater or,less length of time, with the result the springs break, and new springs have to be. substituted.
It is the object of our invention to substitute rubber supports for the coil springs and so construct the same that they may be inserted in' position between the motor supf port and the frame, and thereafter held in such position, without'the necessity of rezolmoving the fan belt or the motor support,
or looseningthe fan pulley, which are necessary operations in installing other forms of cushion devices, and all of which'operations s are time consuming. The loosenin of the fan pulle iii-particular, owing to t e manner in w ich this is secured on the crank shaft, presents unusual diiculties, and ordinarily requires the services of a skilled mechanic.
Our invention, in its preferred embodiment, resides in providing a rubber block adapted to seat on the front transverse frame member, said block having at its upper end a retaining member for receiving a lug pro-l 35. vided on the under side of the motor support, and having secured. in its lowerJ end a holding member projecting from one side-of the rubber block and having a hooked end for enga ing around the center support bolt 4.o whic proJectsdownwardly from the under side of the motor su port.
The invention is illl) panying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a view in front elevation of a v45 motor, with the front transverse-frame member shown in section, to illustrate the position of parts with a motor supported inaccordance with`` our invention;
Figure 2 is a view onran enlarged scale illustrating, partly yin elevation and partly in ustrated in the accom- I,
section, our improved resilient supports in is to say, as the carl comes fromthe factory,
there is a yoke member, 3, secured at its opposite ends, as indicated at 4, on the front end of the motor, and coil springs`are interposed between this yoke support and the transverse frame member 2. The yoke member 3 has a central depending bolt, 5, and a coil spring is also interposed between theV under side of the frame member 2 and a nut secured on the end of the bolt.
By the' above arrangement the front end of the motor is yieldingly supported and also cushioned, to a large extent, against imparting its vibrations to the body of the car. y The disadvantage of the use of springs, however, is, as stated above, that they very frequently break after a comparatively short length of time, necessitating replacement.
According to our invention, we employ a pair of rubber blocks, 6, of the general taper-` ing shape shown, the under sides of which are shaped to seat on the transverse frame member 2, and the upper end of each of which has fitted on it a cap, 7, having a tubular, upwardly-extending portion, 8, at its center, which is ada ted to receive a lug, 9, provided on the un er side of the yoke member 3. vulcanized at one end in each of therub- 9 ber blocks 6 is a metal plate, l0, which ro- 'ects inwardlyl from one side of the ru ber lock and is provided vat its outer end with a hook, 11,which, when the rubber block is in position, lits around the bolt 5, and thus acts as a holding member to maintain the block inl position. As shown byFigure 2,
' when the two blocks are in position the hooked ends 11 overlap each other. The yoke support 3 has a central depending member 10 12provided with anv expanded lower end,
13, from the central portion of which the removin bolt 5depends. Mounted on the bolt 5 to engage the under side of the transverse frame member` 2 is a rubber block, 14, which is held in position by means of a washer, 15, applied to its under side and held in engagement therewith by a nut, 16, `screwed on the lower. end of the bol-t 5. The rubber blo'c'ks 6 and 14 take the place of the coil springs ofthe standard construction, and serve to adequately cushion the front end of the motor while, of course, avoiding the element of'breakag'e, incident to the use of springs.
By providing the individual blocks with the separate holding members 10 having hooked ends for engaging the bolt 5, we make it possible to substitute these rubber blocks for the coil springs by the simple process of the nut 16 and jacking up the `front en of the motor about a half an inch,
' block, anda metal plate mounted in the which permits thesprings to be removed and the blocks to be substituted' therefor. This is madepossible `by the fact that the blocks can be readily turned to a proper position to be inserted inthe space between the underside of the yoke support 3 and the upper side of the frame member 2, while at the same time the hooksv 11 may be engaged j with the bolt 5. We thus avoid the timeconsuming operations of removing the fan belt, changing the position of the fan pulley and removing the yoke support 3, which operations have heretofore been deemed necessary in substituting other cushion members fovbroken springs.
e claim:
1. A pair of of which comprises a block ofresilient material, a lug receiving member mounted on the upper end of said block, and a metal member secured to said block near its opposite end and projecting from the inner side thereof, said member having a holding means provided at its outer end.
2. A pair of front motor supports each of which comprises a rubber b1ock, a lug-receiving member mounted on the upper end of said lower end portion of the block and projectin Y from the inner side thereof, said plate aving holding means provided at its outer'end.
3. A pair of front motor supports each of which comprises a rubber block, a lugreceiving mem er mounted on the upper end of said block, and a metal plate mounted in the lowerend portion of the block and projecting from the inner side thereof, said lplate having a hooked outer end. u
4. The herein Adescribed means forA supporting the front end of a motor comprising, incombination with a front frame member, a supportin and provide vwith a central dependin bolt projecting through an aperture in said rame member,
front motor supports each v member secured to the motor and having a pair of lugs located, respectively, on opposite sides of said bolt, a -pair of rubber locks supported on said frame member and each of which is provided at its upper `end with means for receiving one of said lugs, afmetal plate mounted in the lower end portions of each of said rubber blocks and projecting 'beyond the'inner side thereof and provided with a hooked end engaging around said bolt, and resilient means secured on the lower end of said bolt to engage the underside of said frame member.
Intestimony whereof, we have hereunto set our hands.
