Abstract:
A pollution control device, comprising:(a) a housing; (b) a pollution control element positioned within the housing, the pollution control element having an inlet; an outlet, and a face; and (c) a sheet of mounting material having opposing mating edges, the sheet of mounting material positioned around a majority of the face of the pollution control element between the pollution control element and the housing such that at least a portion of the mating edges meet to form a seam that is at a non-perpendicular angle to the inlet and the outlet of the pollution control element, the seam extends from a point near the inlet to a point near the outlet of the pollution control element, and the sheet of mounting material is capable of being adjusted to variations in the circumference of the element by moving the mating edges in opposing directions until the sheet of mounting material fits tightly about the face of the pollution control element to prevent exhaust gases from flowing between the pollution control element and housing.
