Abstract
An elastic mount, especially an engine mount for motor vehicles includes at least two resilient elements connected in parallel to each other. Through force applicators, the two resilient elements are connected selectively to a source of vibration. The mount includes a coupler for selectively engaging the force applicators with the resilient elements. The coupler includes a first coupling element and a second coupling element selectively connectable by an actuator to ensure that only low travel and force components are needed for selection and to ensure that an axial decoupling of the non-effective resilient element exists in the released condition. The second coupling element swivels to be selectively connected to the first coupling element by the actuator. The second coupling element is connectable to the force applicator of the second coupling element in the engaged condition and is configured as a rotary body swivelably mounted in the released condition.
