Shielding component, a heat shield in particular

Abstract

The invention relates to a shielding component, in particular a heat shield, consisting of at least two shield components (10, 12) which can be connected to each other by way of a connection unit (14). Because the connection unit (14) has a guide means (16) which enables adjustment of the relative position of the individual shield components (10, 12) to each other and which is used for fastening in the adjusted position, a sliding heat shield concept arises in which, with a heat shield consisting of several shield components, adaptation is possible on site to the geometrical conditions of engines and their add-on parts including exhaust systems, and then effective sound damping and heat insulation can be produced in a wide area with only one shielding component and its shield components.
