Abstract
A decoupling element (11) for use with exhaust-gas systems, including an at least partially corrugated bellows (13) having at least two ends in the form of an inlet (E) and an outlet (A) for the flow (S) of the exhaust gas through the decoupling element (11). A filter element (12′) for filtering the exhaust-gas flow (S) is arranged at least partially in the interior (I) of the decoupling element (11) and the filter element (12′) has a self-supporting construction, in particular, without carrier and/or support bodies.

Decoupling element (1, 11) for use with exhaust-gas systems, comprising an at least partially corrugated bellows (3, 13) having at least two ends that include an inlet (E) and an outlet (A) for a flow (S) of exhaust gas through the decoupling element (1, 11), and a filter element (12′) for filtering the exhaust-gas flow (S) is arranged at least partially in an interior (I) of the decoupling element (1, 11), the filter element (12′) has a construction that is at least one of self-supporting, without carrier bodies or without support bodies, the filter element (12′) is constructed and arranged in the decoupling element (1, 11) to allow throughflow of the exhaust-gas flow (S) in a radial direction and in an axial direction, the filter element has a filter tip (121) which is turned to face the inlet (E);
- and the filter element (12′) has a bag-shaped construction with an annular base and a bag-shaped body that tapers from the annular base to a linear end that forms the filter tip (121).
