  • Patent number: 5193778
    Abstract: A suspension arrangement for exhaust installations on motor vehicles, in particular exhaust installations with large-area, flat designs of mufflers joined together by means of an upper shell and a lower shell. The arrangement creates an elastic muffler suspension which is near the center of gravity, is space-saving and close to the vehicle bottom but is still easy to assemble. The arrangement has a hollow profile type of component protruding through the muffler at its center of gravity and essentially at right angles to the vehicle bottom, open at its outer ends and solidly connected to the upper shell and the lower shell, and is positively connected to the elastic suspension part fastened to the vehicle bottom.
