1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an exhaust tail pipe and particular to an improved exhaust tail pipe comprising of various materials formable in multiple combinations to maintain aesthetic appeal and enhance product value.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A conventional exhaust tail pipe 1, referring to
Another type of conventional exhaust tail pipe 2, referring to
How to overcome the problems of the conventional exhaust tail pipes that either have limitation on material selection or aesthetic concern in appearance is an issue remained to be overcome in the industry.
Therefore the present invention aims to provide an improved exhaust tail pipe that can be made of various materials and formed in multiple combinations to maintain aesthetic appeal and enhance product value.
To achieve the foregoing object the exhaust tail pipe according to the invention includes a front outer tube, an inner tube and a rear tail pipe. The inner tube has a plurality of screw holes on one side mating a plurality of apertures formed on a rear coupling portion of the front outer tube to be fastened together by a plurality of bolts. The rear tail pipe is coupled on a rear end of the front outer tube so that the inner tube has its rear section located at the rear end of the rear tail pipe to be welded together. Such a structure allows the front outer tube and rear tail pipe to be made of various materials and also maintains aesthetic appeal of the appearance to enhance product value.
The foregoing, as well as additional objects, features and advantages of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Please referring to
The rear tail pipe 31 is a hollow tube and has a rear end 311 at one side shrunk at a smaller diameter than another side of the rear tail pipe 31.
The inner tube 32 is a hollow and held in the rear tail pipe 31, and has a rear section 321 coupled with the inner wall of the rear end 311 of the rear tail pipe 31 by welding. The inner tube 32 includes a body 320 with a front side formed a plurality of fastening screw holes 324 and an expanded portion 323 formed at a larger diameter.
The front outer tube 33 is hollow and has a tubular part 331 with a rear end formed a rear connecting portion 332 inserted between the rear tail pipe 31 and inner tube 32. The rear connecting portion 332 has a plurality of apertures 333 mating the fastening screw holes 324 to be fastened by a plurality of bolts 334.
By means of the elements set forth above, for assembly, first, couple the front outer tube 33 on one side of the inner tube 32 with the apertures 333 mating the fastening screw holes 324, then fasten them together with the bolts 334; next, place the inner tube 32 in the rear tail pipe 31 to couple the rear section 321 of the inner tube 32 with the inner wall of the rear end 311 of the rear tail pipe 31, and weld them together. Thus the rear connecting portion 332 of the front outer tube 33 is inserted between the rear tail pipe 31 and the inner tube 32, and the expanded portion 323 of the inner tube 32 insert into the inner wall of the front outer tube 33 to form secure bracing to become the finished exhaust tail pipe 3.
The front outer tube 33 and the rear tail pipe 31 are made of different materials.
As a conclusion, the invention of the rear tail pipe can select from various materials (such as titanium, aluminum or the like) and combining different materials without welding. Overall aesthetic appeal of the exhaust tail pipe can be maintained intact and product value can be enhanced. It provides a significant improvement over the conventional techniques.
