Abstract
A hinged joint for pipes having a sealing element such as, for example, a pipe with corrugated walls and reinforcing flanges at each end. At a certain distance from its end, each pipe carries a flange, which has two diametrically arranged, outwardly directed fastening attachments, each serving to be directly or indirectly connected to the corresponding attachment of the other flange, so as to permit a rotary movement about an axis orthogonal to the axis of the pipes thereby resulting in a hinged joint, which is particularly suitable for joining motor vehicle exhaust pipes.
