Abstract
Abstract A resilient motor mount suitable for use as a vibrational insulating motor mount. The mount connects a motor to a support structure by using a support fixture and a motor stud separated by a flexible member. A plurality of portions of the flexible member surround the support fixture and motor stud to lessen vibrational transfer from the motor to the structure fixture and to lessen metal fatigue caused by metal to metal contact.

A mount according to claim 1, wherein said elastomeric member comprises a first half and a second half, said first and said second halves having a top face, a bottom face, a front edge, a rear edge, two side edges, a vertical aperture extending from said top face to said bottom face, a plurality of lateral grooves extending from said front edge to said back edge in said bottom face, said bottom faces adapted to engage one another resulting in the alignment of said first and second halves of said member such that said vertical apertures of said halves are adapted to encircle said stud and such that said grooves of said halves are adapted to encircle said fixture.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
90 words
A mount for an electric fan motor said mount including: a mounting stud protruding from said electric fan motor; a fixture protruding from said grid adapted to engage said stud, said fixture comprising a plurality of rods; a resilient elastomeric member adapted to be interposed between said fixture and said stud and vibrationally insulate said fixture from said stud, having a first portion encircling said fixture and a second portion encircling said stud; and a clamping means adapted to engage said stud and thereby securing the elastomeric member in place.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
90 words
A mount for an electric fan motor said mount including: a mounting stud protruding from said electric fan motor; a fixture protruding from said grid adapted to engage said stud, said fixture comprising a plurality of rods; a resilient elastomeric member adapted to be interposed between said fixture and said stud and vibrationally insulate said fixture from said stud, having a first portion encircling said fixture and a second portion encircling said stud; and a clamping means adapted to engage said stud and thereby securing the elastomeric member in place.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
71 words
A mount according to claim 4, wherein said elastomeric member comprises an essentially rectangular solid having rounded edges, a first face, a second face, a front edge, a back edge, and two side edges, a vertical aperture extending from said first face to said second face adapted to encircle said stud, and a plurality of lateral apertures extending from said front edge to said back edge adapted to engage said fixture.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
119 words
A mount according to claim 4, wherein said elastomeric member comprises a first half and a second half, said first and said second halves having a top face, a bottom face, a front edge, a rear edge, two side edges, a vertical aperture extending from said top face to said bottom face, a plurality of lateral grooves extending from said front edge to said back edge in said bottom face, said bottom faces adapted to engage one another resulting in the alignment of said first and second halves of said member such that said vertical apertures of said halves are adapted to encircle said stud and such that said grooves of said halves are adapted to encircle said fixture.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
213 words
A mount for a motor, said mount including: a mounting stud protruding from said motor; a fixture protruding from a motor support structure adapted to engage said stud, said fixture comprising a looped member having a slot inside adapted to allow said stud to pass therethrough; a resilient elastomeric member adapted to be interposed between said fixture and said stud and vibrationally insulate said fixture from said stud, having a first portion encircling said stud and a second portion encircling said fixture, said elastomeric member comprising a first half and a second half, said first and said second halves having a top face, a bottom face, a front edge, a rear edge, two side edges, a vertical aperture extending from said top face to said bottom face, a U-shaped groove starting from said front edge and not contacting said side and back edges in said bottom face, said bottom faces adapted to engage one another resulting in the alignment of said first and second halves of said member such that said vertical apertures of said halves are adapted to encircle said stud and such that said grooves of said halves are adapted to encircle said fixture; and a clamping means adapted to engage said stud and thereby securing the elastomeric member in place.
