Elastic suspension for a monolithic catalyst body in a exhaust gas cleaning device

摘要

A catalyzer for detoxifying exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine wherein a monolithic catalyst body is supported within a housing having a composite damping arrangement placed in the housing between the catalyst body and the housing walls and having a portion extending axially of the catalyst body for damping radial forces acting on the body, and end portions for damping axial forces acting on the catalyst body, means cooperating with the damping means for elastically suspending the catalyst body in the housing and protecting rings positioned between the elastic holder and the catalyst body to further protect the edges of the catalyst body against destructive forces thereon.
