ABSTRACT:
A conduit vibration decoupling device, particularly for installation in exhaust conduit systems of internal combustion engines, comprises a pair of axially spaced conduit connector members connected with each other by a flexible bellows-type sealing conduit element, and a force transfer means having at least axial pliancy for transferring forces between the conduit connector members. The force transfer means comprises a housing extending between the conduit connector members along the flexible conduit element and connected near at least one of its axial ends by an articulated spring assembly comprising at least one annular spring element to the associated conduit connector member. The spring element extends around the periphery of the conduit connector member and can be either an annular disk-shaped element or an annular element made of a metallic cable material. The housing may be free of outer protruding parts thereby it may have an outer smooth, cylindrical configuration. It may also have a rigid structure.
