Rotating joint for an exhaust pipe of an automobile vehicle

摘要

This rotating joint (7) has an axis (Y-Y) parallel to the axis of the pivotable mounting of the engine. The joint comprises two annular planar surfaces (18, 19) having the same axis (Y-Y) and respectively rigid with the two elements of the exhaust pipe (6, 9) to be interconnected. These surfaces are separated by a heat-resistant anti-friction ring (20) and are biased toward each other by a pivotal U-shaped element (21). Application in vehicles having a transverse front engine.
