Abstract
In order to reduce noise attendant with conventional equipment, an electric generator for a vehicle is attached to the vehicle engine by a stay arrangement that places the point of connection between the generator stator and the engine significantly radially outwardly from the stator. The stay apparatus, further, cooperatively mounts a lid plate for sealing the coupling chamber which houses the elastic coupling connected to the generator rotor shaft. A gap provided between the facing surfaces of the lid plate and the coupling chamber is filled by an elastic seal for improving the noise-damping efficiency of the apparatus. The elastic coupler of the generator and drive shafts has alternating radial fins whose interspaces are filled with resilient material.
