Abstract: A flanged joint (1) of an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, especially of a motor vehicle, is provided for fastening a tubular body (4) of the exhaust system to another component (5). The flanged joint includes a tube bell (2) formed at the end area of the tubular body (4) as well as a ring-shaped flange (3), which surrounds the tubular body (4) on a side of the tube bell (2) facing away from the other component (5) and which has a plurality of fastening sites (6, 7) for connection to the other component (5).

Abstract: An arrangement of parts having a first part in the form of sheet metal which is in contact with the second part along an edge and is fixedly connected to the second part via at least one weld. To reduce stress peaks at the ends of welds, the first part has a slot in a section adjacent to the respective end of the weld, the slot beginning at the edge and extending to its end with a curved profile a curve bent by at least 180° up to its end.

Abstract: A connection between a plate and a pipe wherein the pipe passes through an opening in the plate, and wherein the plate has a spring-elastic tongue at the opening which is fixedly connected to the pipe.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sheet-metal-type part, in particular a muffler bottom having at least one through-opening for a tubular part. The sheet-metal-type part has at least one slot passing through the sheet-metal-type part in an area adjacent to the through-opening. The slot runs essentially in the circumferential direction or runs tangentially to the through-opening.

Abstract: An exhaust-carrying component (2) of an exhaust system (1) for an internal combustion engine is provided, in particular for a motor vehicle. The component (2) includes a pipe (4) through which exhaust gas can flow from one longitudinal end (6) to the other longitudinal end (7) and which has between its longitudinal ends (6, 7) a longitudinal section (8), the wall (9) of which is provided with perforations (10). The component (2) also has a housing (5) which surrounds the pipe (4) in a circumferential direction and to which the pipe (4) is fixedly connected in both one end area (11) having a longitudinal end (6) and in another end area (12) having the other longitudinal end (7). In order for the component (2) to nevertheless be able to resist the thermal stresses that occur during operation, the perforations (10) are designed so that the longitudinal section (8) can absorb thermal longitudinal expansion forces between the pipe (4) and the housing (5) through elastic deformation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a crosstalk device for coupling of two exhaust lines of an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine through which exhaust can flow in parallel. The crosstalk device has a housing having two inlets and two outlets that are connected so they communicate through an interior space of the housing and by which the two exhaust lines can be connected to the crosstalk device. The crosstalk device has an inexpensive design and high stability because its housing is assembled from two half-shells whose parting plane extends across the main direction of flow of the crosstalk device.
