  • Patent number: 4471853
    Abstract: This invention relates to a mounting arrangement (10) for resiliently connecting an exhaust stack (12) to an exhaust pipe (14) and a frame (18) which eliminates the problems of vibration, noise transfer, joint failure, high exhaust temperatures, complexity, and inability to quickly assemble and disassemble. The mounting arrangement (10) has first and second spaced apart elastomeric devices (60,80) for resiliently connecting the exhaust stack (12) to the frame (18), a support bracket (98) and an exhaust pipe (14). The first elastomeric device (60) supports an open end of the exhaust pipe (14) in the exhaust stack (12) and on the frame (18) and the second elastomeric device (80) engages the support bracket (98) and which retains the first elastomeric device (60) in contact with the frame (18). A passage arrangement (74) passes cooling air flow past the first elastomeric device to cool the first elastomeric device (60) and the exhaust stack (12).
