Hinge-like connection for multi-channel pipes, especially motor vehicle exhaust pipes

摘要

The invention relates to a hinge-like connection for multi-channel pipes, having at least one intermediate wall, the two hinge halves being capable of pivoting relative to one another along an annular surface which is approximately cup-shaped. According to the invention, the intermediate wall is of flexible construction in the hinge region and is connected without a gap to the intermediate walls on the incoming and outgoing pipes, this connection to an intermediate wall taking place by means of a sliding guide along which the flexible intermediate wall can be displaced during pivoting movements in the intermediate wall direction, but is guided so that it cannot be displaced transversely with respect thereto.
