<p>A flexible coupler apparatus (10) for decoupling vibrations, for example, along the components of an internal combustion engine exhaust system. First and second adapter members (14, 15) are connected together to accommodate axial and flexural relative movement between two components of an exhaust system. One or more resilient spacer members (27) associated with the adapter members (14, 15) substantially preclude transmission of vibrations from one (14) adapter member to the other (15). Means (50) for imparting an axial bias are provided for giving resilient resistance to compression and/or extension of the coupler apparatus from a preload, neutral position.</p> |
