Title:
TWO STAGE BODY MOUNT REBOUND CUSHION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002046027
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A body mount (20) for a vehicle includes a rebound cushion assembly in which a first cushion portion provides a progressive rate buildup to provide travel rebound control and a second cushion portion prevents an upper cushion of the body mount (20) from hitting against the vehicle frame (26). A clamp member partially encloses the first and second cushion portions. The portions are preferably inner and outer rings interconnected by a thin membrane that allows independent action. The first portion is an elongated member always in compression that has a minimal impact on the system rate and loaded height and the second ring comes into selective contact with the vehicle frame (26) to prevent the upper cushion from being lifted from the vehicle frame (26).
