Patent attributes
A mixer for a vehicle exhaust system includes an outer housing having an upstream end and a downstream end. An upstream baffle has an inlet opening configured to receive exhaust gas and is mounted at the upstream end of the outer housing. A downstream baffle has an outlet opening configured to conduct exhaust gases to a downstream exhaust component and is mounted at the downstream end of the outer housing. A doser opening is formed within the outer housing at a location between the upstream and downstream baffles. A cone has a narrow end with an inlet opening and a wide end with an outlet opening. A tapered body portion extends from the narrow end to the wide end, with the cone being aligned with the doser opening. An extension portion extends outwardly from the wide end of the cone and provides a wall that surrounds the outlet opening.
