Abstract:
A muffler for attenuating the exhaust gas noise from an internal combustion engine in which there is an elongated shell having a pair of end caps rigidly secured to the ends thereof. Inlet and outlet conduits are mounted in said end caps and are operatively connected to sound attenuating means carried within the shell for reducing the noise level of the exhaust gases entering the muffler through the inlet conduit and exiting through the outlet conduit. Intermediate its length the shell has a groove formed therein to thus form a fracture point in the shell for controlling the location of a rupture in the muffler in the event that the muffler is subjected to an excessive number of backfires.
Abstract:
A diffuser apparatus to disperse a gaseous stream wherein the apparatus is formed as a single integral unit having an internally located supply passage, a gaseous exhaust passage surrounding the supply passage, a plurality of spaced apart annular openings communicating the ambient with the exhaust passage through the outer housing wall.
Abstract:
Muffler for air-exhausts and the like in which sound is muffled by passage of the air from a relatively unrestricted domed expansion chamber through a disseminator into a silencing chamber and thence diffused through porous side of the silencing chamber. The end of the silencing chamber opposite the disseminator is provided with a pressure relief means.
Abstract:
The exhaust device for multiple cylinder internal combustion engines of the type where the waste gas pipes lead separately from cylinder to the exhaust sound muffler, the lengths of which is of different magnitude between motor and sound muffler, while individual waste gas pipes inside the sound muffler are prolonged by a certain amount, is characterized in that the waste gas pipes which are prolonged inside the sound muffler have at least one enlargement in their cross-section.
Abstract:
A sonic jet engine noise suppressor having a relatively short horizontally disposed conduit for reception of exhaust gases from the tail pipe of a jet engine, and for conveying these gases into the side of a tall stack via a perforated conical diffuser. The side walls of the conduit and stack are acoustically treated for sound absorption, and the stack contains a vertical core which is also acoustically treated for sound absorption. The core also contains resonator chambers for attenuation of selected frequency bands. The stack is of a special structure having a perforated tubular liner, sub-divided into a vertical stack of interfitting sections, and provided with flexural supports at the joints of these sections so as to facilitate expansion and contraction with large changes in temperature.
Abstract:
Earth-boring tools comprise a face and a plurality of cutting elements disposed on at least a portion of the face. An impact material is positioned on at least one portion of the body and has a relative exposure equal to or greater than at least some of the cutting elements of the plurality of cutting elements. The impact material comprises a material having a lower abrasion resistance than the body. Methods of making and methods of using such earth-boring tools are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A muffler outlet part for a muffler to be used in exhaust systems of motorcycles has at least one main body disposed transversely to an outflow direction of exhaust gas and having a center axis, the main body having a centrical first outlet opening disposed concentrically relative to the center axis for the outflow of exhaust gas from an outlet chamber of the muffler, and at least one second outlet opening disposed eccentrically relative to the center axis for the outflow of exhaust gas from an expansion chamber of the muffler, said expansion chamber enclosing the outlet chamber. It further has at least one closing member that is swivel-mounted about the center axis for an at least partial closing of the at least one second outlet opening, and at least one adjustment element for swiveling of the closing member via an adjustment means, which cooperates in a torque-transmitting manner with the at least one adjustment element.
Abstract:
In an exhaust pipe structure (10), there are provided a first supporting member (20) that is attached to an exhaust pipe or a component (60) attached to the exhaust pipe; a second supporting member (30) that is attached to a vehicle body or a component (70) fixed to the vehicle body; a supporting rubber member (40) that connects the first supporting member (20) to the second supporting member (30); and a reaching-prevention member (50) that contacts the supporting rubber member (40) just before the supporting rubber member (40) reaches the supporting rubber member sticking position.
