ABSTRACT:
An element of a sound arresting device has a cylinder and a blade integrally formed in the cylinder and helically twisted along the longitudinal direction of the cylinder. A plurality of elements are coupled to each other along their longitudinal direction and are fitted in a pipe. The ends of the two adjacent blades are perpendicular to each other. The pipe is covered with a sound insulating material. The elements and the pipe are made of a porous metal material, a porous plastic material or a porous ceramic material. When the sound arresting device is used as an automobile muffler, acoustic waves propagating in the gas are repeatedly mixed, interfere with each other and are absorbed by the apertures and the sound insulating material, thereby decreasing noise from the engine. Dust in the exhaust gas is captured by the apertures of the elements and the pipe, and is removed from the exhaust gas.
