A suspension mechanism capable of absorbing vibrations in all directions
of a Stirling cycle engine 10. The suspension mechanism comprises the
Stirling cycle engine 10 including nut members 30 on an outer surface of
a casing 28, a holding ring 32 fixed to the nut members 30 substantially
coaxially with the Stirling cycle engine 10, a holding cylinder 40
provided so as to cover an outside of the holding ring 32 substantially
coaxially therewith; first mounting portions 36 formed in the plural
number in one end of an axial direction of the holding ring 32; second
mounting portions 38 formed in the same number as that of the first
mounting portions 36 in the other end of the axial direction of the
holding ring 32; third mounting portions 42 formed in response to the
first mounting portions 36 in one end of an axial direction of the
holding cylinder 40; fourth mounting portions formed in response to the
second mounting portions 38 in the other end of the axial direction of
the holding cylinder 40; first extension coil springs 50 suspended
between the first mounting portions 36 and the third mounting portions
42; and second extension coil springs 52 suspended between the second
mounting portions 38 and the fourth mounting portions 44.
