    Patent number: 7137199
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of pressing a bearing jacket (2) onto a monolith (3) of a catalytic converter, in particular in a motor vehicle.

The bearing jacket (2) is pressed onto the monolith (3) during a subsequent second phase in at least one third peripheral section (16), which is situated between the first peripheral section (8) and the second peripheral section (9), whereby the first peripheral section (8) and the second peripheral section (9) together with all the third peripheral sections (16) are the same size as the total circumference.
