Zusammenfassung:A compound bracket system ( 400 ) for an internal combustion engine ( 100 ) includes a first bracket ( 112 ) that is rigidly connected to a crankcase( 102 ) of the internal combustion engine ( 100 ). The first bracket ( 112 ) forms at least one mounting pad ( 310 ) that is arranged to connect to and support a first engine component ( 114 ). A second bracket ( 120 ) is connected to the crankcase ( 102 ) through at least one additional engine component ( 110 ). The second bracket ( 120 ) forms a component cavity ( 208 ) that is arranged to accept and support a second engine component ( 118 ). The first bracket ( 112 ) forms an interconnection pad ( 314 ), and the second component forms a strut ( 216 ) having a mounting tab ( 218 ). The mounting tab ( 218 ) is advantageously connected to the interconnection tab ( 314 ) with a fastener ( 422 ), thus increasing the rigidity of the second bracket ( 120 ) as mounted on the engine ( 100 ).
