Abstract
An elastomeric compressor mount has a hollow convex cylindrical head portion which is passed upwardly through a corresponding opening in a support foot portion of the compressor to place an annular portion of the foot in an annular mount groove which is disposed between its head portion and a larger cylindrical base portion of the mount. When a securement bolt is passed axially through a fastening opening in the mount and tightened into an underlying base pan opening, the convex mount head portion is downwardly and radially outwardly deformed to cause the annular foot portion to be resiliently squeezed between the head portion and the underlying base portion of the mount. In a second embodiment of the mount its convex cylindrical head portion is of a solid configuration, and is joined to the mount base portion by an annular flange section coaxially disposed therein. When the securement bolt is tightened the head portion is pushed downwardly relative to the mount body portion in a manner axially flexing the flange section and squeezing the annular compressor foot portion between the head and base sections of the mount. In a third embodiment of the mount its head section is cylindrical and has a depending, reduced diameter stem section which is telescoped within the underlying mount base section to permit relative axial movement between the head and base sections of the mount when the securement bolt is tightened.
