  • Patent number: 6971474
    Abstract: An air conduction element (1), particularly an air conduction channel for a motor vehicle, having a reverberant channel body (2) manufactured from plastic, which has at least one wall region replaced by a sound-absorbing component (10, 11), the sound-absorbing component having an at least partially exposed outer side. An edge region of the sound-absorbing component (10, 11) be extrusion-coated with the plastic of the channel body (2) in such a way that the sound-absorbing component (10, 11) is connected in a form-fitting way to the channel body (2) along at least a section of its circumference.

  • Publication number: 20050020200
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an air conduction element (1), particularly an air conduction channel for a motor vehicle, having a reverberant channel body (2) manufactured from plastic, which has at least one wall region replaced by a sound-absorbing component (10, 11), the sound-absorbing component having an at least partially exposed outer side. In order to be able to manufacture such an air conduction element cost-effectively with equal or even improved acoustic effectiveness, it is suggested that an edge region of the sound-absorbing component (10, 11) be extrusion-coated with the plastic of the channel body (2) in such a way that the sound-absorbing component (10, 11) is connected in a form-fitting way to the channel body (2) along at least a section of its circumference.
