Abstract

In an exhaust gas recirculation line holder of an internal combustion engine wherein a line section of an exhaust gas recirculation line is integrated into the holder which is supported on the engine block and/or the vehicle frame, the holder is provided with a shaped part, in particular a cast part, with the line section of the exhaust gas recirculation line formed therein and a support structure also being formed integrally with the holder so that manufacturing costs, assembly time and assembly expenditure are reduced.

1 . A holder of an exhaust gas recirculation line ( 2 ) of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle having an exhaust gas recirculation line ( 2 ) branching off from an area of the exhaust pipe of the engine which is close to the engine and being connected to an intake line of the internal combustion engine, a line section ( 2 . 1 ) of the exhaust gas recirculation line ( 2 ) being integrated into the holder ( 1 ) which is supported on one of the engine block and a vehicle frame. 
   
   
       2 . The holder as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a part of the holder ( 1 ) is in the form of a support structure ( 4 ) facilitating its support on the engine or the vehicle frame. 
   
   
       3 . The holding device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the holder ( 1 ) is formed with at least one of integrated line section ( 2 . 1 ) in communication with the exhaust gas recirculation line ( 2 ) and an integrated support structure ( 4 ) in the form of a shaped part.
