Abstract
The disclosure involves a prime mover and a pump-mount adapter mounted thereto. The adapter includes a central housing and a plurality of arms extending radially outwardly from the housing and coupled to the prime mover. Resilient mounts are used for such coupling and a rigid compression limiter prevents such mounts from being compressed to the degree that substantial resiliency is lost. The housing contains a liquid lubricant for lubricating the pump. A resilient seal device is between the housing and the prime mover and retains the lubricant in the housing. And after assembly, the housing is maintaining in a spaced relationship to the prime mover. The new mounting arrangement permits relatively generous manufacturing tolerances while yet permitting the prime mover and adapter-mounted pump to radially and angularly 'self-align' during assembly.
