Insulating device for a machine element, in particular an exhaust gas pipe

Abstract

The invention relates to an insulating device containing a first machine element, in particular an exhaust gas pipe, and at least one second machine element, in particular an exhaust manifold, that is connected to said first machine element and through which, in particular, a hot medium can flow and being connected to a unit. The insulating device at least partially surrounds the machine element and is connected to the unit. The aim of the invention is to further develop the claimed insulating device with a low amount of production and material expenditure such that mounting and demounting can be carried out in a simple manner and can be adapted in a problem-free manner to various types of units. According to the invention, a base plate that is connected to the unit is provided, said base plate having at least two side parts that are arranged at a distance from each other forming an intermediate area, such that a sliding part is arranged in the intermediate area and is essentially sealingly connected the base plate and to the lateral parts by profiles and is detachably connected in relation to the base plate, such that said sliding part contains a recess through which the second machine element is guided, and also a cover that can be connected to the base plate by a detachable securing element, said cover engaging with the first machine element. The cover rests upon the lower edges thereof on associated areas of the lateral parts of the base plate and/or the sliding part(s).
