ENGINE SUPPORTING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

An engine supporting device for a vehicle in which an engine and a gear box containing a reduction gear train are separately formed and separately supported on a vehicular body. A drive pulley of a V-belt type transmission is provided on an output shaft of the engine and a driven pulley of the V-belt type transmission is provided on an input shaft of the gear box. A V-belt is wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley. The engine supporting device includes two mounting portions supported by the vehicular body, which are provided on a crank case of the engine on front and rear sides of the drive pulley in such a manner that the drive pulley is put between the mounting portions wherein one of the front and rear mounting portions mainly functions as a supporting point around which the engine is turned due to a drive reaction force of the V-belt type transmission. The other of the front and rear mounting portions is mounted on the vehicular body by a mounting shaft through an elastic member and mainly functions as a member for absorbing the vibration of the engine by deformation of the elast ic member.
