Abstract

An apparatus for mounting an electric motor, in particular a fan drive of a heating or air-conditioning system of a motor vehicle, such that vibrations are decoupled, having a number of elastic damping elements which are plug-mounted on the motor, and also comprising a corresponding number of mounting contours, which are associated with said damping elements, in an external housing which at least partially surrounds the motor housing, wherein the respective damping element has a central insertion slot for the corresponding radial lug, and wherein the respective damping element has material spokes, which extend in the manner of a star starting from the insertion slot, so as to form spoke sections which face one another and between which slot regions which are free of material and open at the periphery are formed.
