Abstract
A vibration isolating mounting system for an electric motor comprising includes a plurality of mounting arms formed from rod stock and each having one segment extending generally parallel to an axis of the motor and another segment extending generally perpendicular to the motor axis. The one is swaged at an end to create a pair of spaced protrusions. A plurality of circumferentially spaced retainers are mounted on the motor and adapted for passage of the end of the one segment when the arm is rotationally positioned to align the spaced protrusions in a first orientation. After insertion of the one end, the arm is rotated to align the protrusions away from the first orientation such that the protrusions engage the retainer and prevent axial motion of the one segment. In another form, a second retainer is spaced from the first retainer and the one end of each arm passes through both retainers to provide additional support between the arm and motor.
