Abstract
An engine mounting device resiliently supports an engine on a frame including a first plate member for connection to the frame. A second plate member is U-shaped and has flanges at each end of the U-shaped portion for connection to the first plate member and the frame. A tubular member is disposed between and spaced from the first plate member and the second plate member. A resilient member interconnects the tubular member and the first and second plate members for resiliently supporting the tubular member between the first and second plate members. The first plate member includes a plurality of raised ribs laterally spaced one from the other and forms an arch-shaped opening for receiving a first end of the resilient member to prevent lateral movement of the resilient member. The resilient member has a second end arcuate and complimentary to the U-shaped portion of the second plate member to prevent lateral and radial movement of the resilient member.
