Abstract
Heat shielding panels are attached to exhaust pipes and a silencer by using small set springs and large set springs. Distortion on a heat shielded panel, which would be caused when attaching a heat shielding panel through welding, is not caused. A process for positioning a bracket, which would be required when welding a bracket to an exhaust pipe, can be omitted. Moreover, as no bolt and nut is used, the number of parts can be reduced. As a result, productivity can be improved and an increase in the cost can be suppressed.

A cover member attachment structure for attaching a cover member to an object to be shielded for the purpose of improving appearance, suppressing heat propagation, preventing solid or liquid scattering, preventing invasion to or leakage from the inside, comprising:
- at least three spring members for elastically attaching the cover member to the object to be shielded and suppressing vibration between the cover member and the object to be shielded,
- wherein the cover member includes at least a first section, a second section, and a third section formed separately from each other, the sections being attached by the spring members serially along a length of the object to be shielded.
