Abstract
A shielding device is provided with a shielding element, which can be used for the thermal and acoustic shielding of components in a combustion engine. The mounting of the shielding device is such that thermal, acoustic and vibration transmission from hot, loud and vibrating components in the engine compartment or underbody area to a vehicle body is isolated.
Claims10
A shielding device, comprising:
- a shielding element with at least a first through-opening, a first side and a second side;
- a ring made from metal wire mesh with a centrally formed second through-opening;
- wherein the ring made from metal wire mesh has an L-shaped cross-section towards the through-opening;
- and
- a spacer ring, which has an L-shaped cross-section towards the center of the spacer ring;
- wherein
- the wire metal mesh ring is fitted in the first through-opening and the first side of the shielding element;
- the spacer ring is fitted in the second through-opening and the second side of the shielding element;
- the shielding element exhibits at least one mounting element for attachment to the metal wire mesh ring;
- and
- the at least one mounting element takes the form of a punched hole in the material on a reference diameter of the second side of the shielding element, wherein the reference diameter is greater than the diameter of the metal wire mesh ring.
