Abstract:
A flat structure made of foil or sheet metal to be used as a heat shield, for example in motor vehicles in order to insulate the muffler against heat. The flat structure comprises at least one layer and is divided into a plurality of flat regions. Some of the flat regions are non-deformed and smooth and other flat regions are shaped from the plane of the non-deformed flat regions.
Abstract:
A tool comprises a lower part (2) and an upper part (1). The upper part (1) of the tool can slide on guides (3) and has a force plug (7) and a blanking punch (4). A die-plate (5) arranged on the lower part (1) of the tool contains a mold cavity (16) of a die (6). The blanking punch (4) and the die-plate (5) each have a plurality of individual blanking elements (20, 30). Facing pairs of blanking elements (20, 30) have cutting edges (23, 33) directed toward the cutting line (15). The blanking elements (20, 30) have a polygonal cross-section and are aligned next to each other along their edges.
Abstract:
A deep-drawing tool where the holding-down device is incorporated into the punch, and the holding-down device consists of individual punches uniformly on the circumference, where the punches are designed as elastomers.
Abstract:
A heat shield apparatus, particularly for motor vehicle exhaust systems, which is coupled to and closely spaced from the heat source. The particular structure of the invention enables the mounting to be connected directly to the heat source while being behind the heat shield itself from the viewpoint of the heat source. The mounting is connected to the heat shield at positions where the temperature of the heat shield is substantially below its highest value.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a metal part with covering, in particular an inside part of a motor vehicle door, and to a method for producing such a covering. To enable producing a visually attractive covering of a metal part in a substantially simpler and more economical way, it is proposed according to the invention that the covering fabric be glued directly onto the as yet undeformed metal panel and in that state deformed together by deep drawing; in the region of overlap of layered pieces of upholstery, a bead is formed in the metal panel, into which the peripheral regions are pulled. This bead is then pinched together, causing the peripheral regions of the pieces of upholstery to be fixed in clamped fashion. The result is a visually attractive transition from one piece of upholstery to another, since no raveled edges are visible but are instead held in the beads. The covering is effected in the peripheral region of the metal part by means of crimping.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a heat shield with acoustic insulation, comprised of a heat-shielding sheet which bears, on its side facing the heat- and acoustic noise-emitting source, a supporting sublayer bearing an acoustic absorption layer affixed to said sublayer, wherewith said supporting sublayer is disposed such that a defined air gap remains between the heat-shielding sheet and the supporting sublayer.
Abstract:
A heat shield. The heat shield includes a supporting sheet metal piece having edges, an inner surface and an outer surface; a cover foil fastened on the edges of the sheet metal piece so as to define a thermally insulating air gap with the inner surface of the sheet metal piece; and spacers arranged on the sheet metal piece and projecting into the insulating air gap from the inner surface of the sheet metal piece.
Abstract:
A heat shield device is described, in particular for shielding heat-radiating parts, such as engines, mufflers, catalytic converters and the like, in which at least one heat shield is provided that partially surrounds the heat-radiating part to be shielded, and at least the surface of the heat shield toward the heat radiator is surface improved in such a way that a roughness of steady course is attained, and heat rays striking the surface of the heat shield are reflected at most a single time.
