Abstract: A vibration decoupling device for use in exhaust systems of internal combustion engines, comprises a pair of axially spaced conduit connecting members connected with each other by a bellows-type connecting element, and a force transmitting means having at least axial elasticity for transferring forces between said conduit connecting members. The force transmitting means comprises a housing surrounding said bellows-type connecting element, said housing being connected near at least one axial end thereof to an adjacent conduit connecting member by an articulated spring assembly comprising one or more independent spring means. Each spring means comprises at least one leaf spring element and has three force transmitting portions.
