  • Patent number: 11852060
    Abstract: A sheathing arrangement for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes at least one sheathing element (18) with a sheathing element shell (19). On an inner side (30) of the sheathing element shell (19) insulation material (38) overlaps the inner side (30) in at least some areas. The inner side is to be positioned facing toward a component of an exhaust system (10), which component is to be sheathed. The insulation material (38) is fixed to the sheathing element shell (19) by means of at least one fastening element (40) passing through the sheathing element shell (19) and the insulation material (38).

  • Patent number: 8205713
    Abstract: A silencer for an exhaust system, more preferably of a motor vehicle, is provided with a silencer insert arranged in a silencer housing. The silencer includes a jacket, with at least one pipe section penetrating a through-opening of the jacket. Through welding of the pipe section to the silencer insert a weld seam formed pressure-tight between pipe section and jacket is relieved of mechanical load.

  • Patent number: 7874401
    Abstract: An exhaust muffler (1) is provided for an at least partly dual-flow exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, especially of a motor vehicle. The exhaust muffler has a housing (2), which encloses an interior space (3), with two exhaust pipes (6), through which exhaust gas can flow in parallel, and which are each led through the interior space (3), and which have a side opening (8) each within the housing (2). A neck body (9) connects the two side openings (8) of the exhaust pipes (6) in a communicating manner to form a Helmholtz resonator with the interior space (3) of the housing (2), which interior space (3) acts as a resonance volume (12).
