Abstract: A retention device for attaching an insulation element to a V band clamp or to another device for connecting pipe ends. The retention device includes closure elements that cooperate to permit the outer and/or inner circumference of the retention device to be decreased. The retention device further includes a bendable belt segment that may be placed about an insulation element as part of an outer covering or like a type of outer covering.

Abstract: The invention relates to an insulating device containing a first machine element, in particular an exhaust gas pipe, and at least one second machine element, in particular an exhaust manifold. The insulating device at least partially surrounds the machine element and is connected to the unit. A base plate connected to the unit is provided-having at least two side parts arranged at a distance from each other forming an intermediate area, such that a sliding part is arranged in the intermediate area and is essentially sealingly connected the base plate and to the lateral parts by profiles and is detachably connected in relation to the base plate, a cover can be connected to the base plate by a detachable securing element. The cover rests upon the lower edges on associated areas of the lateral parts of the base plate and/or the sliding part(s).
