Abstract
A vibration isolating motor mount has a U-shaped mount having the end of the legs of the "U" arranged at right angles thereto to form mounting ears. One leg end ear is arranged to be connected to a motor support plate which is perpendicular to the plane of the legs of the U-shaped mount. The plate is, in turn, attached to a first end of the motor with the plane of the plate being perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the motor. The end ear of the other leg is arranged to be connected to a motor support frame having the plane of the frame also perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the motor. The other end ear may include a vibration absorbing bushing isolating the respective mounting ear while surrounding a mounting pin attached to the support frame. The plane of the legs of the U-shaped mount is arranged to be co-planar with the axis of rotation of the motor. A plurality of the motor mount may be equally spaced on the periphery of the motor support place to provide added support for the motor. A motor shaft is arranged to extend from a second end of the motor to provide an attaching element for a motor driven device, e.g., a pulley, fan, etc.
