A resilient mount is described as having a special spring steel retainer spring for locking the mount in a frusto-conically shaped opening which is defined by a hollow truncated rigid metal sleeve which has an annular abutment at its free outer edge. The mount has inner and outer rigid metal sleeves to which a resilient rubber insert is bonded. The insert essentially encases the outer sleeve and has a circumferential recess which extends inwardly of the insert adjacent the annular abutment. The recess is designed to receive the retainer spring which has a plurality of radially extending fingers for engaging the annular abutment to limit axial movement of the mount in one direction. The insert is also provided with an integral annular flange for engaging the opposite end of the truncated sleeve to limit axial movement of the mount in the other direction.

A shock dampening mount used to hold an automotive part in a frustum-conically shaped opening defined by a hollow, truncated rigid sleeve which has a center axis and an annular abutment at its free marginal edge, the mount comprising; (a) a pair of radially spaced, rigid hollow sleeves, including a one-piece outer sleeve which is radially spaced outwardly from an inner sleeve, the sleeves being concentrically disposed about the center axis of the opening, and the outer sleeve having a pair of opposing annular ends, one of which ends is spaced above the abutment, when the mount is in a horizontal position (b) a resilient elastomeric insert having at least a portion thereof bonded between the inner and outer sleeves and essentially encasing the outer sleeve, the insert having a circumferential recess between the opposing ends of the outer sleeve adjacent the annular abutment, when the mount is properly positioned in the opening, the recess extending radially inwardly of the insert; (c) a retainer spring positionable in the recess for engaging the abutment to limit movement of the mount in a direction opposite from which the mount is inserted in the opening, the spring including a parti-cylindrical web with a pair of opposing marginal edges from which a number of resilient, L-shaped fingers extend, when the spring is undistorted outside the recess; (d) means associated with the insert for limiting movement of the insert in the direction in which the mount is inserted in the opening; and (e) means coacting with the retainer spring for maintaining the spring in movement limiting relationship with the annular abutment.
