摘要

An element for the non-rigid connection of two tubes, especially combustion engine exhaust gas tubes, comprises two separated tubes (1,2) end-connected by a bellows (3) with a heat shield (4) rigidly connected to one tube. A tube protection section (6) is bendably connected to the fixed tube mounted part (5) to permit radial movement.
