Abstract
Abstract A stress-free exhaust construction for a turbo-supercharger on an engine, having an adjacent wall through which exhaust gases are discharged. A rigid conduit member is connected to and extends away from the supercharger. A second rigid conduit member in alignment with the first conduit extends through the wall. There are cooperating baffles at the adjacent ends of the two conduit members which provide a non-rigid connection between the two conduit members and a tortuous passage for gases between the inside and the outside of the connection. A flow of air over the outer terminus of the connection tends to force air into the tortuous passage toward the inside of the connection.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
An exhaust construction for a turbo-super-charger on an engine, having a wall adjacent the engine through which exhaust gases are discharged, comprising a first rigid conduit member connected to and extending away from the turbo-supercharger, a first baffle portion attached to the outer extremity of the said first conduit member, a second rigid conduit member secured to and extending through the wall, the said second conduit member having its entrance end aligned with the said first conduit member for receiving exhaust gases therefrom and transmitting them through the wall, an additional baffle portion attached to the said entrance end of the second conduit member, the said additional baffle portion interposed with the said first baffle portion to provide a non-rigid connection between the said first and second conduit members and a tortuous passage for gases between the inside and the outer terminus of the connection, means providing a flow of air externally over the said non-rigid connection, and the said outer terminus arranged so that the air flow tends to force air into the tortuous passage toward the inside of the connection.
