Cross carrier beam with anti-vibration

Abstract

A cross carrier beam for mounting between support members includes a beam having at each of its end an end bracket, having an attachment member for attaching the cross carrier beam to the support members, and a vibration isolation member mounted between each of the attachment members of the end bracket and the support member.

1 . A cross carrier beam to be mounted between support members, the cross carrier beam comprising a beam member having at each end an end bracket, said end bracket having an attachment member for attaching the cross carrier beam to the support members, wherein the cross carrier beam furthermore comprises a vibration isolation member to be mounted between each of the attachment members of the end bracket and the support member. 
   
   
       2 . The cross carrier beam according to  claim 1 , wherein the isolation member is configured as a pad of vibration isolating material, which is arranged on the side of the attachment member facing away from the adjustment member. 
   
   
       3 . The cross carrier beam according to  claim 2 , wherein the vibration isolating pad is fixed to the attachment member by adhesion or vulcanisation. 
   
   
       4 . The cross carrier beam according to  claim 2 , wherein the vibration isolating pad is a loose component which is to be placed between the attachment member and the support member during installation. 
   
   
       5 . The cross carrier beam according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said end brackets comprises an adjustment member which is adjustably mounted on an end portion of the beam member for varying the length of the cross carrier beam between the attachment members. 
   
   
       6 . The cross carrier beam according to  claim 5 , wherein the at least one adjustment member is telescopically guided on the end portion of the beam member. 
   
   
       7 . The cross carrier beam according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment member is a plate with fixing holes, said plate extending substantially perpendicular to the beam member. 
   
   
       8 . A cross carrier beam to be mounted between support members, the cross carrier beam comprising a beam member having at each end an end bracket, said end brackets having an attachment member for attaching the cross carrier beam to the support members, wherein the cross carrier beam furthermore comprises a vibration isolation member which is provided between the beam member and the end bracket to prevent transfer of vibrations between the beam member and the end brackets. 
   
   
       9 . The cross carrier beam according to  claim 8 , wherein said end brackets comprise an adjustment member which is telescopically mounted on an end portion of the beam member for varying the length of the cross carrier beam between the attachment members, wherein the vibration isolating member is arranged on the adjustment member to isolate the end bracket from the beam member. 
   
   
       10 . The cross carrier beam according to  claim 9 , wherein the beam member is a hollow profiled section element, and wherein the adjustment member of the end bracket comprises a rod-like element, and wherein the vibration isolation member is a sleeve of a vibration isolating material, which engages the outer side of the rod like element and which engages the inner side of the hollow profiled section element. 
   
   
       11 . The cross carrier beam according to  claim 10 , wherein the sleeve is attached to the rod like element and is slideable together with the rod-like element with respect to the hollow profiled section element. 
   
   
       12 . The cross carrier beam according to  claim 8 , wherein the attachment member is a plate with fixing holes, said plate extending substantially perpendicular to the beam member.
