HOLDING ELEMENT FOR CONNECTING A ROD TO THE BODY OF A VEHICLE USING AN ELASTIC BEARING

The invention relates to a holding element for connecting a rod ( 1 ) to the body or the chassis of a vehicle using an elastic bearing ( 2 ). Said bearing consists of at least one outer sleeve and one inner sleeve ( 3, 4 ) provided with an elastic material ( 5 ), especially a rubber material, in the annular region ( 6 ) between the two sleeves. The outer sleeve ( 3 ) is fixed to the body or the chassis, and the inner sleeve ( 4 ) is connected to the rod ( 1 ) by means of a pin ( 7 ). Said pin extends through the inner sleeve ( 4 ) and carries a securing disk ( 9 ) on its free end, which secures the elastic bearing ( 2 ) against damaging offset in the event of defective adhesion of its individual parts in the axial direction. Furthermore, the securing disk extends in the radial direction at least to the outer sleeve ( 3 ) and at least part of its outer circumference is embodied in such a way that it is oriented in an essentially concave manner away from the elastic bearing ( 2 ). Said adaptation of the securing disk ( 9 ) significantly increases the section modulus of the same, enabling a relatively thin securing disk ( 9 ) to be used.
