  • Patent number: 5844177
    Abstract: A heat shield apparatus, particularly for motor vehicle exhaust systems, which is coupled to and closely spaced from the heat source. The particular structure of the invention enables the mounting to be connected directly to the heat source while being behind the heat shield itself from the viewpoint of the heat source. The mounting is connected to the heat shield at positions where the temperature of the heat shield is substantially below its highest value.
