Abstract: An intake device (1) for an internal combustion engine including a main body (2) and cover element (3; 20) which are securely connected to one another. Main body (2) and cover element (3) form intake pipes (4, 5, 6, 7) of in intake manifold. The cover element (3; 20) includes a plurality of individual shells (14, 15, 16, 17; 24, 25, 26, 27), which are connected to one another. Each individual shell (14, 15, 16, 17; 24, 25, 26, 27) forms a wall section of a respective intake pipe (4, 5, 6, 7) of the intake device (1). A flexible connection element (22) is arranged between two successively adjacent individual shells (25, 26) to compensate for tolerances between the cover element (3) and the main body (2).

Abstract: An intake manifold is molded of two plastic parts. A first main manifold body provides the outer cover and an inner opening. A second runner provides a plurality of entry ports for communicating air to cylinders within the engine. In the past, it has been somewhat difficult to control the shape of the entry ports when the manifold was molded of a single part. The use of the separate runner allows the provision of a relatively thin and easily molded part such that the entry ports can be closely controlled and an idealized design can be achieved.

Abstract: An improved air intake manifold for a V-style internal combustion engine comprising three individual injection molded sections joined by friction welding of flanged mating elements. Each section is formed of a high-melting temperature composite polymer. The welds are all on the exterior of the manifold. The mating surfaces are formed to be directly accessible to welding apparatus and are so oriented that friction welding may be carried out by relative motion between the components in the axial direction. When joined, the lower and middle sections form the individual air distribution runners from the plenum to the intake ports in the engine heads. The lower and middle sections are so configured that each such runner crosses the valley of the engine, providing great strength and rigidity to the module. All runners are identical, so that air flows from the plenum to the individual cylinders are substantially identical. The middle and upper sections may be rotationally symmetrical about a vertical axis, preventing mis-orientation during assembly. Modifications may be made to any one of the sections without requiring retooling of molds for the other two sections, provided the configurations of the mating surfaces are unchanged.

Abstract: An improved air box lid and an improved air conveyance tube may be used alone and/or in combination to improve engine performance. For example, the improved air box lid and the improved air conveyance tube may be used together in an air induction system to increase the flow of ambient air from an air intake box to the motor throttle body. The improved air box lid and the improved air conveyance tube are preferably provided with interior walls that are smooth and continuous and define only obtuse interior angles.

Abstract: An intake manifold made of a synthetic resin includes a surge tank, and a plurality of intake pipes disposed in parallel to one another and each having a rising pipe portion which is connected to a lower portion of the surge tank and extends upwards. A space is defined between the surge tank and each of the rising pipe portions, as viewed sideways. In order to enable an increase in volume of the surge tank, while avoiding an increase in size of the intake manifold, the surge tank (20) includes a main tank portion (20a) extending in a direction (28) of arrangement of the intake pipes (21A to 21D) and opposed to the rising pipe portions (29A to 29D) of the intake pipes (21A to 21D), and a sideways-bulged portion (20b) which is bulged from an intermediate portion of the main tank portion (20a) as viewed in the arrangement direction (28) and is interposed between a pair of rising pipe portions (29B, 29C) disposed at the intermediate portion as viewed in the arrangement direction 28. Inner ends of a pair of the spaces (38) defined respectively between the rising pipe portions (29A to 29D) and the main tank portion (20a) on opposite sides of the sideways-bulged portion (20b) are closed by opposite sidewalls of the sideways-bulged portion (20b).

Abstract: In fuel rail/fuel conduit connecting structure in an engine for an outboard engine system, a first connecting bore opens into an end face of a fuel rail, and a second connecting bore opens into an end face of a terminal member having a connecting pipe portion which is projectingly provided on one side thereof and to which an end of the fuel conduit is connected. One of halves of a joint collar is fitted to an inner peripheral surface of the first connecting bore with a first seal member interposed therebetween, and the other half of the joint collar is fitted to an inner peripheral surface of the second connecting bore with a second seal member interposed therebetween. Thus, it is possible to connect the fuel rails and the fuel conduits to each other, while providing reduction in number of parts and number of assembling steps for the connecting structure and moreover, the connecting structure is excellent in corrosion resistance.
