Title:
HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE AND ASSEMBLY THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/079617
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A honeycomb structure wherein a plurality of honeycomb segments (2) consisting of honeycomb structures having a number of axially extending communication holes (6) separated by partition walls are integrated. A honeycomb structure wherein adjoining honeycomb segments (2) have a compression elastic material (A (3)) disposed on at least some of the adjoining surfaces. A honeycomb structure assembly (8) prepared by compressing and holing the honeycomb structure in a metallic container (11) by arranging a compression elastic material (B (5)) in a compressed state on the outer periphery of the honeycomb structure. This honeycomb structure and honeycomb assembly have their durability improved to resist heat and vibration during use.
