Abstract
A component of an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine comprises a wall in which at least one opening is provided. A perforated cover at least partly closes the at least one opening. The perforated cover is mounted on the wall using a holder, and a portion of the perforated cover engages into an opening provided on the holder. There is also presented an exhaust system comprising such a component, and a method for manufacturing such a component, in which the perforated cover is mounted on the holder by introducing at least one portion of the perforated cover into an opening provided on the holder.
Claims18
A component of an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- a wall in which at least one opening is provided;
- a perforated cover which at least partly closes the at least one opening;
- and
- a holder to mount the perforated cover on the wall of the component, and wherein a portion of the perforated cover engages into an opening provided on the holder, wherein at least two portions of the perforated cover each engage into separate openings on the holder.
A method for manufacturing a component of an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine, comprising the following steps:
- a) mounting a perforated cover on a holder by introducing at least one portion of the perforated cover into an opening provided on the holder, and subsequently
- b) attaching an assembly comprising the perforated cover and the holder on a wall so that the perforated cover at least partly closes an opening provided in the wall,
- wherein, during step a), two opposite corners of the perforated cover are each introduced into an associated opening.
A method for manufacturing a component of an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine, comprising the following steps:
- a) mounting a perforated cover on a holder by introducing at least one portion of the perforated cover into an opening provided on the holder, including inserting a first perforated portion of the perforated cover into a first opening provided on the holder, and inserting a second perforated portion of the perforated cover into a second opening provided on the holder that is separate from the first opening, and subsequently
- b) attaching an assembly comprising the perforated cover and the holder on a wall so that the perforated cover at least partly closes an opening provided in the wall.
