A decoupling element for fastening a heat shield. The heat shield comprising a passage opening for a fastener. The decoupling element comprising: a middle part containing a sleeve, a lower part arranged adjacent to the first axial end portion of the sleeve, a first damping element arranged on the second side of the first pressure absorption element, an upper part arranged adjacent to the second axial end portion of the sleeve, and a second damping element arranged on the second side of the second pressure absorption element.

Decoupling element for heat shields

A heat shield for shielding of hot areas of a combustion engine. The heat shield has at least one metal sheet layer with a first and a second surface. The at least one metal sheet layer has at least one passage opening for the passage of a fastening element. The layer also has a sleeve which passes through the passage opening. The heat shield further has a decoupling element from flexible material arranged between a circumferential edge of the passage opening and the sleeve. The decoupling element and the sleeve each have a) an annular shank area, which penetrates the passage opening, b) a first collar, which on the first surface extends radially outward relative to the circumferential edge of the passage opening, and c) a second collar, which extends adjacent to the second surface radially outward relative to the circumferential edge of the passage opening.
