Abstract
An expansion joint for connecting an exhaust collector of an engine to a duct system includes an upper frame, a lower frame, a resilient member, and a fabric membrane. The upper frame is formed from a plurality of first members in which ends of adjacent first members are releasably coupled to each other. The lower frame is disposed in a spaced-apart relation to the upper frame. The lower frame is formed from a plurality of second members in which ends of adjacent second members are releasably coupled to each other. The resilient member is disposed between mutually coupled ends of the first members and between mutually coupled ends of the second members. The resilient member is configured to elastically deform in response to a variation in the lengths of the first and the second members. The fabric membrane is affixed to an outer periphery of the upper and lower frames.
