  • Method of manufacturing an exhaust gas carrying device and tool therefor
    Patent number: 8857056
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an exhaust gas carrying device, in particular an exhaust gas purification device, and a tool provided therefor include segment-like jaws that are used to deform an outer housing. The jaws have indentations or projections adjacent to each other, and which are complementary to form a continuously surrounding indentation/projection. The reshaped outer housing is provided with one or more surrounding projections or indentations by the deformation.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for stuffing a monolith with a mounting mat into a housing
    Patent number: 8832937
    Abstract: A method for stuffing a monolith wrapped with a mounting mat into a housing includes the steps of radially elastically clamping the housing during stuffing at several locations, and compensating for at least one of a housing tolerance and a housing rotation through an elastic deformation of the housing caused by the clamping.

  • METHOD OF PRODUCING EXHAUST-GAS CARRYING DEVICES, IN PARTICULAR EXHAUST-GAS CLEANING DEVICES
    Publication number: 20100275443
    Abstract: A method of producing exhaust-gas carrying devices, in particular exhaust-gas cleaning devices, makes provision that the outer geometry of each substrate is ascertained. An outer housing with an adapted geometry is manufactured dependent on this outer geometry. The substrate, together with a compensation element, are accommodated and clamped in this outer housing.

  • EXHAUST GAS CLEANING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN EXHAUST GAS CLEANING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20100212275
    Abstract: An exhaust gas cleaning device includes an outer housing, an insert disposed therein, and an elastic compensating element which surrounds the insert. At least before a first operation, an adhesive layer is provided between the insert and the compensating element and/or between the compensating element and the outer housing. Furthermore, there is described a method for manufacturing an exhaust gas cleaning device.
