Patent ID: 7418817

Claim:
A structural shielding component, comprising: at least one first structural part; second structural parts formed from said first structural part; hollow sectioned receiving channels molded in and extending in a top of said first structural part and curved in two directions, said receiving channels following a curvature of said first structural part in one direction of curvature and being spaced apart from one another, said top overlapping an exhaust section of an engine and maintaining at a definable distance therebetween, one of said second structural parts bordering on an edge side of said first structural part; curved exhaust lines extending at least in part in said receiving channels; and a third structural part in a form of a sleeve transitioning from said first structural part, said third structural part being essentially free of stiffening elements in a direction of said first structural part over a defined first surface area, said first surface area being adjacent a second surface area of a fourth structural part, said second surface area having stiffening elements, said stiffening elements having transverse ribs spaced from one another and extending transversely to said receiving channels, said first, second, third and fourth structural parts being of metal and configured differently in at least one of superficial extension and extension direction.
