ENGINE MOUNT ASSEMBLY FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE.

摘要

An engine mount assembly for a motor vehicle is provided. The engine mount assembly comprises: an engine mount 50; a side rail 10; and a bracket 20 disposed between the engine mount 50 and the side rail 10. The bracket 20 has a first portion (26 in Figure 3) secured to the side rail 10 beneath the engine mount 50 and at least one cantilever portion (28 in Figure 3) projecting at one end beyond the first portion. The cantilever portion defines an anchoring point (22 in Figure 3) for attachment of the engine mount 50 that is spaced from the side rail 10 so that the portion of the side rail beneath the anchoring point may undergo controlled deformation in the event of a front end vehicle collision.
