The invention relates to a rubber/metal bearing (1) for coupling a stabilizer bar (2) to an automotive body. The basic structure of this rubber/metal bearing (1) has a rubber body (5) which surrounds the stabilizer bar (2) and a sleeve (6) which can be attached to the automotive body for the purpose of accommodating the rubber body (5) and the stabilizer bar (2) which is guided therein. The rubber body (5) essentially comprises a stop member (5a) which is fastened in the sleeve (6) and a closure member (5b) which is pivotably connected to the sleeve (6), it being possible, with the closure member (5b) pivoted down, for the stabilizer bar (2) to be introduced into the sleeve (6) and placed against the stop member (5a), and it being possible to connect the stabilizer bar (2) in a rotationally fixed manner to the rubber body (5) by frictional engagement by means of the closure member (5b), which can be pivoted up during installation, so as to produce stressing of the rubber body (5). The bearing of the invention is easier to install, can be manufactured at lower cost and essentially prevents the emission of squeaking noises.

Cette invention concerne un palier en caoutchouc/métal (1) permettant de relier une barre stabilisatrice (2) à la carrosserie d'un véhicule automobile. La structure de base de ce palier en caoutchouc/métal (1) est constituée, d'une part, d'un corps en caoutchouc (5) entourant la barre stabilisatrice (2) et, d'autre part, d'un manchon (6) pouvant être fixé à la carrosserie afin de loger le corps en caoutchouc (5) et la barre stabilisatrice (2), laquelle est guidée à l'intérieur. Le corps en caoutchouc (5) est essentiellement constitué d'une butée (5a), fixée dans le manchon (6), et d'un élément de fermeture (5b) rattaché au manchon (6) par une articulation. Grâce à cette disposition, lorsqu'on fait pivoter l'élément de fermeture (5b) vers le bas, la barre stabilisatrice (2) peut être introduite dans le manchon (6) et placée contre la butée (5a); on peut également faire tourner la barre stabilisatrice (2) pour qu'elle reste fixée par frottement au corps en caoutchouc (5) grâce à l'élément de fermeture (5b), que l'on peut, quant à lui, faire pivoter vers le haut au cours de l'installation afin de créer une tension sur le corps en caoutchouc (5). Ce palier, d'installation facile et de fabrication peu coûteuse, permet surtout d'empêcher tout bruit de grincement.
