摘要:
A monolithic catalyst converter includes a monolithic catalyst (2), and a catalyst container (1). The catalyst container includes a tube-shaped member (1), and a pair of funnel-shaped cone members (1d,1e). The tube-shaped member holds the monolithic catalyst therein, and have opposite ends. The funnel-shaped cone members are connected with exhaust pipes of an exhaust system, are disposed at the opposite ends of the tube-shaped member, and are formed free from welding and integrally with the tube-shaped member. The monolithic catalyst converter can be manufactured with a high material yield (or a low scrap rate), at a reduced cost and under a good working environment, because it can be manufactured without the conventional troublesome welding operation and leak-test inspection.
