Abstract

A cylinder head mount comprising a base portion for mounting to a cylinder head of an engine; a bracket portion configured to receive and support an engine component; and a body portion interposed between the base portion and the bracket portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cylinder head mount comprising:
a base portion for mounting to a cylinder head of an engine;
a bracket portion configured to receive and support an engine component;
a body portion interposed between the base portion and the bracket portion; and
a web support connecting a web flange to the body portion, wherein the web support comprises web arms connected to positions on the body portion adjacent ends of the bracket portion.

2. The cylinder head mount according to claim 1 , wherein the engine component is selected from the group of an engine aftertreatment device, a turbocharger, an exhaust gas recirculation cooler, an oil cooler, an air filter, an electronic control module, an oil filter, and a muffler.

3. The cylinder head mount according to claim 1 wherein the web arms are angularly spaced and mutually diverge from the web flange.

4. The cylinder head mount according to claim 1 wherein a plurality of base flanges having through holes are positioned adjacent an outer perimeter edge of the base portion.

5. The cylinder head mount according to claim 4 wherein the base portion is mountable to the cylinder head through a valve cover.

6. The cylinder head mount according to claim 5 wherein the positions of the base flanges are aligned to the bolt hole positions of the valve cover.

7. The cylinder head mount according to claim 4 wherein the number and distribution of the base flanges provide for stable mounting of the cylinder head mount.

8. The cylinder head mount according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket portion has a first and a second support member for supportive contact with the engine component.

9. The cylinder head mount according to claim 8 wherein the first and the second support members have a geometry corresponding to a geometry of the engine component.

10. The cylinder head mount according to claim 8 wherein the bracket portion comprises fastener straps for fastening the engine component.

11. The cylinder head mount according to claim 10 wherein the fastener straps are hingedly connected to the bracket portion.

12. A tractor comprising;
an engine; and
a cylinder head mount, the cylinder head mount including:
a base portion for mounting to a cylinder head of an engine;
a bracket portion configured to receive and support an engine component;
a body portion interposed between the base portion and the bracket portion; and
a web support connecting a web flange to the body portion, wherein the web support includes web arms connected to positions on the body portion adjacent ends of the bracket portion.

13. The tractor of claim 12 , wherein the cylinder head mount includes a plurality of base flanges having through holes positioned adjacent an outer perimeter edge of the base portion.

14. The tractor of claim 12 , wherein the bracket portion has a first and a second support member for supportive contact with the engine component.

15. A genset comprising:
an engine;
a generator; and
a cylinder head mount, the cylinder head mount including:
a base portion configured to receive and support an engine component;
a bracket portion configured to receive and support an engine component;
a body portion interposed between the base portion and the bracket portion;
a plurality of base flanges having through holes positioned adjacent an outer perimeter edge of the base portion;
the bracket portion having a first and a second support member for supportive contact with the engine component;
a web support connecting a web flange to the body portion; and
the web support including web arms connected to positions on the body portion adjacent ends of the bracket portion.
