  • Patent number: 11434804
    Abstract: An exhaust purification device has a catalytic converter provided with: an outer cylinder welded at the upstream end portion to an exhaust gas inlet of an inlet-side flange and welded at the downstream end portion to an exhaust gas outlet of the outlet-side flange. An inner cylinder has an upstream end portion held by the upstream side portion of the outer cylinder with no gap and has a downstream end portion disposed at the downstream side of the outer cylinder with a gap, the inner cylinder housing a catalyst support. An opening end is formed at the downstream end portion of the inner cylinder with a gap with respect to the outer cylinder, and a gas layer is formed by the exhaust gas having entered from the exhaust gas inlet and convected to an upstream side between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder.

  • Patent number: 6874317
    Abstract: A double pipe exhaust manifold includes an inner pipe, an outer pipe formed in a cylindrical shape by joining at least one side edge thereof by welding, a space retaining member disposed in an annular space defined between the inner pipe and the outer pipe, a connection pipe connecting to a exhaust gas recirculation valve, and a mesh ring. Opening holes are formed in the inner pipe and the outer pipe so that the opening holes are opposed to each in a radial direction of the pipes. The connection pipe is connected to the opening hole of the outer pipe. The mesh ring is interposed between the inner pipe and the outer pipe in a state that the mesh ring plugs an annular opening part defined between opening edges of the opening holes.

  • Patent number: 6625979
    Abstract: Disclosed is a double pipe exhaust manifold having an inner pipe, a mesh spacer member applied to the outer periphery of the inner pipe, and an outer pipe being disposed around the outer periphery of the mesh spacer member in a state that the outer pipe is axially slidable at least to the inner pipe, wherein the outer pipe is divided into two pipe members, and one side end of one of the divided pipe members is put on the corresponding one of the other of the divided pipe members as radially viewed, and the other side end of the divided pipe member is put on the corresponding one of the latter divided pipe member, and the overlapping portions are welded together.
