Abstract
Support devices for automobile engine comprising attaching two buffers each comprising connecting the exterior surface of a metal shaft with the interior surface of a metal hollow cylinder arranged so as to surround the shaft in spaced relation by means of an elastic rubber member to provide higher and lower directions of the rigidities between the shaft and the metal cylinder at a plane perpendicular to the coextensive axes of the shaft and the metal cylinder in horizontal relation with respect to the coextensive direction of the shaft and the metal cylinder and connecting one end of either the shaft or the metal cylinder with the car body and another end thereof with the engine so that the coextensive line of the direction having higher rigidity intersects with a vertical plane through the center of gravity of the engine at a position below the intersection of the coextensive line directed to the direction having lower rigidity with the above-mentioned vertical plane to support symmetrically the engine on the car body in a laterally spaced relation, thereby eliminating the heavy noises generated by the operation of the automobile engine and preventing the separation of the engine from the car body.
