Abstract
An elastic mounting apparatus for vibration-decoupled mounting of a housing on an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The mounting apparatus includes a clamping element with two spring elements arranged in a functionally serial relationship. The clamping element joins the housing and the internal combustion engine another so as to allow relative vibration. The first spring element includes an annular spring member made of an elastomeric material. A second spring element is formed by at least one disk spring, such that the clamping element is penetrated by a clamping screw, and such that the disk spring can be compressed by the clamping screw in such a way that its spring rate, after compression to the intended preload, is substantially zero. The housing is configured as a turbocharger housing with at least one intake pipe, such that the intake pipe has at one end, on the side facing the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine, an intake pipe flange that is braced in a sealing and vibration-decoupled manner against the cylinder head by an annular sealing element made of elastomeric material.
