Patent ID: 7459196

Claim:
A shielding device, comprising: a heat shield having a primary surface component and a secondary surface component bent at an angle relative to said primary surface component and formed unitarily and as one piece therewith, said secondary surface component having side edges extending approximately in parallel; a clamping component formed as a unitary, one-piece extension of said secondary surface component and having first and second clamping legs connected by a bending point, said clamping legs being positioned side-by-side and having first and second clamping surfaces, respectively, facing one another and delimiting a clamping gap therebetween, one end of said clamping gap being closed by said bending point extending approximately perpendicularly relative to said side edges of said secondary surface component; and a tensioning device coupled to said clamping legs for pressing said clamping surfaces against a mounting component positioned in said clamping gap.
