A mount assembly having a first carrier and a first insulator disposed about the first carrier for isolating movement of a frame relative to a vehicle body in a first direction. A second carrier engages the first carrier for coupling the second carrier to the first carrier. A second insulator is disposed about the second carrier for further insolating the movement of the frame relative to the vehicle body in the first direction. A sleeve is disposed about both of the first and second carriers and is coupled to the first carrier. The sleeve is formed of an elastomeric material for isolating movement of the frame relative to the vehicle body in a second direction transverse to the first direction such that the isolation of movement about the first and second directions are accomplished by separate and independent components of the assembly.

Vehicle body mount assembly

A mount assembly having a first carrier with a first insulator coupled to a first flange of the first carrier. The mount assembly also includes a second carrier and a second insulator coupled to a second flange of the second carrier. A first locking member, which is formed of a polymeric material, is connected to the first carrier. A second locking member, which is also formed of a polymeric material, is connected to the second carrier with the first locking member engaging the second locking member to retain the first carrier in telescoping relationship with the second carrier.

Interlocking mount assembly for a vehicle

The present invention provides a coating composition containing a two-stage polymer emulsion. The two-stage emulsion polymer contains composite polymeric particles of a first stage polymer prepared from about 0.25% to about 5% by weight monomer having at least two polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated groups, about 2.5% to about 10% by weight hydroxyl monomer, preferably at least about 50% by weight of non-functional monomer of hydrophobic monomer, and preferably without addition of any acid-functional monomer; and a second stage polymer having a theoretical glass transition temperature of at least about 50&deg; C. prepared using, by weight, about 25% to about 50% by weight hydroxyl monomer, about 3% to about 9% carboxylic acid monomer, and preferably at least 25% by weight of non-functional monomer of hydrophobic monomer;. The composite polymeric particles have a theoretical glass transition temperature of not more than about 30&deg; C., preferably not more than about 0&deg; C., and include from about 0.8% to about 2% by weight of carboxylic acid monomer.
