Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention refers to a decorative and attractive exhaust mechanism with adjustable angles. More elaborately, it is an exhaust mechanism with rotary angles easy to assembly and widely applied to all kinds of automobile exhausts.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Traditional automobile exhausts are single pipes. Users who want to promote the horsepower of the automobile usually replace the single pipe with duplex or more exhausts. This might fulfill their demanding performance yet lack of decoration and attraction.
Though the structure and application of such automobile exhausts seem to work just fine, the inventor of the present invention who has used and observed the structure of traditional exhausts found such exhausts only provided one function which was monotonous and lagging behind modern requirements for novelty and variety. Therefore, there is much for improvement in traditional exhausts.
In light of the demands in the market and the problems for traditional exhausts, the inventor of the present invention put years of experience in the research and the development of “a decorative and attractive exhaust mechanism with adjustable angles”.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The objective of the present invention is to provide a decorative and attractive exhaust mechanism with adjustable angles applicatory to exhausts in different specifications, diameters and numbers. Through the fixing plate installed in accordance with the user's preference and requirement and the formative decorative flake, a rotary multi-direction slip-on assembly that extends along with the size of the exhaust and one formative exhaust cover installed on one end of the multi-direction slip-on assembly, the exhaust is given a great variety in application, decoration and attraction.
In the following, the embodiment illustrated is used to describe the detailed structural characteristics and operation action for the present invention. The figures are not intended to impose any restriction on the form of the present invention. Any modification or changes to the present invention with the same inventive spirits are protected in the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a decorative and attractive exhaust mechanism with adjustable angles. It consists of one multi-direction slip-on assembly
1
, one formative cover
2
and one decorative plate
3
.
Please refer to
FIG. 1
in which the multi-direction slip-on assembly
1
is a rotary multi-direction shaft composed of one positioning inlay
10
, one multi-direction connector
20
and one linking ring
30
. The positioning inlay
10
is a curved assembly that could be slipped on the curved connecting interface
202
of the multi-direction connector
20
. On the outside of its ring body is set with several adjustable positioning holes
101
for the positioning inlay
10
adjusted as needed to be fixed on the connecting interface
202
with screws
103
. The bolt lock hole
102
could be locked to the bolt lock body
302
of the linking ring
30
with bolts
303
.
The multi-direction connector
20
consists of the slip-on shaft
201
and the curved connecting interface
202
wherein the slip-on shaft
201
is a hollow shaft with one end connected to the automobile exhaust and the replacing interface
202
is slipped through the positioning inlay
10
with one end connecting to the linking ring
30
.
The linking ring
30
is a slip-on ring with an opening on either end. A blocker
301
is set on the exterior of the ring at adequate distance with several bolt locks
302
at equal distances on the top so as to fix to the bolt lock hole
102
of the positioning inlay
10
by passing the bolt
303
through the screw hole of the fixing plate
31
.
When installing the multi-direction slip-on assembly
1
, the above adjusted positioning inlay
10
is passed through the positioning hole
101
to the connecting interface
202
of the multi-direction connector
20
and fixed on the multi-direction connector
20
with the bolt
103
. The bolt lock
302
of the linking ring
30
and the screw hole
311
of the positioning plate
31
are connected to the bolt lock hole
102
of the positioning inlay
10
by means of the bolt
303
. This allows the installation and the rotation of the formative exhaust cover
2
and the decorative plate
3
for the application to exhausts in all kinds, specifications and sizes.
The formative exhaust cover
2
is a replaceable cover with one end as the opening inlay interface
23
whose exterior is installed with several screw holes
21
so as to connect to the linking ring
30
with the bolt
22
. The other end of the cover
2
is a changeable molding with several openings or holes for the purpose of ventilation.
The decorative plate
3
is composed of the fixing flake
31
and the decorative plate
32
whose size and shape could be adjusted in accordance with the user's preference and requirements.
The fixing plate
31
could be made of any material (such as metal, wood) into any shape with depth, such as semicircle, rectangle or any shape (as shown in
FIG. 3
,
FIG. 6
to FIG.
10
). The surface is fixed by passing the bolt
313
through the lock hole
312
or through adhesion (such as twin adhesive) so as to connect the decorative flake
32
, thus provides decoration and attraction (shown in FIG.
1
). On the back of the decorative flake
32
there is a pair of screw holes corresponding to the lock hole
312
for the insertion and fixing of the screw
313
.
Beneath the fixing plate
31
there is a curved breach
314
at an adequate distance that go with the linking ring
30
. Along the curved breach
314
of the fixing plate
31
there are several screw holes
311
for the fixing plate
31
to fix on the linking ring
30
of the multi-direction slip-on assembly by inserting the bolt
313
to the lock body
302
of the linking ring
30
(as shown in
FIGS. 2A
, B and C) or to fix to the multi-direction slip-on assembly
1
by welding with the linking ring
30
(as shown in FIG.
2
). Besides, in order to meet the requirement of molding, several LED
321
could be set at equal distances on the edge of the fixing plate
31
of the decorative plate
3
(as shown in FIGS.
5
-
10
).
Furthermore, on the back of the fixing plate
31
of the decorative plate
3
there is a [-shaped spacer
315
at an adequate distance with an adjustable trough
41
. On one side of the spacer
315
there is a hook
4
for the adjustable trough
41
(as shown in
FIG. 11
) to hook onto the trunk of the automobile (as shown in FIG.
10
). The hook
4
and the spacer could be passed through the adjustable trough
41
with the bolt
42
so that the hook is able to move up and down to adjust the height.
The above components form a complete decorative and attractive exhaust mechanism with adjustable angles. Please refer to
FIG. 2
to FIG.
10
. During the installation (please refer to
FIG. 1
, FIG.
3
and FIG.
4
), the decorative and attractive exhaust mechanism with adjustable angles for the present invention is installed at the opening of the automobile exhaust which passes through the slip-on shaft
201
of the multi-direction slip-on connector
20
. After adjusting the positioning inlay
10
to an adequate angle, lock it to the slip-on shaft
201
of the multi-direction connector
20
by passing the bolt
103
through the lock hole
102
, which is easy and fast. Moreover, the decorative plate
3
could be connected to the multi-direction slip-on assembly
1
by welding (as shown in
FIG. 2
) or bolting (ass shown in
FIGS. 2A
, B and C). In this way, the decorative flake
32
(bolted or adhered) and the fixing plate
31
could be replaced by the user's favor, thus highlights the user's personal style, characteristics and variety.
Please refer to
FIG. 6
to FIG.
10
. From FIG.
6
and
FIG. 7
, you see a larger sized of the present invention with a fixing plate
31
equipped with the decorative flake
32
and the bulb
321
. One end of the fixing plate
31
is bended vertically to fix to the bumper
51
of the automobile with the curved breach
314
on the other end embedded onto the multi-direction slip-on assembly
1
to form another application mode wherein there are several rows of adjustable lock holes
318
either beneath the fixing plate
31
or above the combing plate
316
locked by bolts. Then slip the circular holes beneath the combining plate
316
to the multi-direction slip-on assembly
1
.
In summary, the exhaust mechanism with adjustable angles and decoration functions for the present invention provides more functions than traditional mechanism and has broke through traditional technology bottleneck, which practically meets the qualifications for invention based on new type and improvement. Accordingly, an application is submitted for examination
