Abstract
In order to provide an exhaust muffler for an internal combustion engine, especially a portable implement, comprising a catalyst which is arranged in a housing which has at least one inlet opening and one outlet opening for exhaust gas flowing out from the internal combustion engine into the environment, in which the temperature of the exhaust gas in the area of the outlet into the environment is reduced substantially and/or a sufficiently long path length is made available so that flame development can be avoided especially in the outlet area of the exhaust muffler, it is proposed that the outlet opening has at least one means through which exhaust gas flows, which is arranged partially outside the housing and has an outlet facing the environment, whereby the flow path of the exhaust gas in the direction of the environment is lengthened.
