Compressor housing having a structure for preventing slippage of vibroisolating members
 An automotive refrigerant compressor according to the present invention comprises a compressor housing that includes at least one bracket. The bracket has a hole through which a fastening member, such as a bolt for example, penetrates. A vibroisolating member is provided that includes a cylindrical portion and an annular flange portion radially extending from one end of the cylindrical portion. The cylindrical portion is firmly inserted into the hole in the bracket, with the flange portion disposed at an outer surface of the bracket. The flange portion includes a pair of protrusions on opposing sides of the flange portion. The protrusions are inwardly bent at the base thereof so as to fit along a side surface of the bracket when the cylindrical portion of the vibroisolating member is inserted into the hole. In accordance with this construction, the refrigerant compressor can be easily mounted within the engine compartment of a motor vehicle without having to be concerned with the conventional problem of splipping vibroisolating members. Furthermore, when a so-called vibroisolating steel member is used as the vibroisolating member of the present invention, separation of the vibroisolating member's rubber plates from the steel plates can be prevented without having to be concerned with the amount of torque used to tighten the fastening bolt.
