Abstract
A mounting grommet for compressors adapted for attachment to the mounting feet thereof and to the compressor mounts of a refrigeration unit, comprising an elastomeric, generally cylindrical body adapted for attachment to a compressor mount by bolt means passing through the bore of the body, a radially peripheral portion of the body being formed intermediate the length of said body to provide an upwardly extending annular shoulder adapted to contact and support a compressor foot and receive substantial downward force therefrom, the radially inner surface of the shoulder being spaced from radially outer and adjacent portions of the body, and the radially outer surface of the shoulder lying radially outwardly of all other peripheral portions of the body, to thereby provide a diagonal shear or distortion line in response to the application of downward force to the shoulder.
