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.

Abstract: An intake manifold includes an upper shell, a lower shell, and a middle shell that interconnects the upper and lower shells. The lower shell has a plurality of longitudinally spaced shell ports. Each shell port is adapted for installation over a corresponding intake port for an engine cylinder head. The upper shell has a plurality of runners that are used to guide air to the shell ports. The middle shell has a plurality of channels that interconnect the runners and the shell ports such that air can flow through the runner to the cylinder intake port. Fuel injector pockets are formed within the upper, middle, and lower shells with each of the pockets having an injector opening in communication with the corresponding shell port. An internal fuel rail, formed between the upper and middle shells, supplies fuel to each of the injector pockets. A fuel injector is installed into each injector pocket such that the injectors are substantially enclosed within the manifold. An internal wire harness rail, formed between the upper and middle shells, supports a wire harness that electrically connects each of the injectors to a power supply.

Abstract: An injection molded screw retainer is employed on an air intake manifold system to retain screws which connect an active system body to a manifold lower assembly. The retainer is substantially nullL-shapednull and includes a retaining portion and a substantially perpendicular attachment portion. The retaining portion includes a substantially hemispherical feature positioned substantially over the head of the screw. The oversized attachment portion is inserted within a pocket in the active system body. Ultrasonic energy applied by a sonic welding process slightly melts the outer surface of the attachment portion, creating a weld interference between the attachment portion and the pocket, securing the attachment portion within the pocket.

Abstract: A method of securing intake tubes in an intake manifold is provided in which leakage of brazing material from the joint between the intake tubes and the intake tube mounting rings is prevented. For securing each intake tube in the intake manifold, the intake tube 3 is fitted into the intake tube mounting ring 5. Then, a jig 13 of a tubular shape is inserted into insert areas of the intake tube 3 and the intake tube mounting ring 5. The jig 13 includes separate sections 16 defined by slits extending to a predetermined length in parallel to the axis and has a plurality of projections 19 and 20 provided on the outer side of the separate sections 16 thereof. A bar-like pressing tool 14 reduced in the diameter towards its front end is inserted into the interior of a tubular shape of the peen locking jig 13, and it is then advanced relatively towards the insert area by the action of pressing means. As a result, the projections 19 and 20 are dislocated radially and press the outer side of the intake tube 3 against the inner side of the intake tube mounting ring 5 to join each other by the effect of plastic deformation.

Abstract: A bonded multi-piece plastic automotive air intake assembly having first and second housing members that include a 3-dimensional mating surface. The first member has a continuous first perimeter edge and the second member has a continuous second perimeter edge. The first perimeter edge has a central tongue portion that extends outwardly from the first edge. The tongue portion has first and second wall surfaces. The second peripheral edge has a groove extending inwardly from the second peripheral edge and mates with the tongue portion. The tongue portion and groove form a U-shaped channel that receives an adhesive therebetween. The adhesive forms a continuous bead that seals the channel between the first and second housing members. A plurality of alignment spacers are positioned between the tongue portion and the groove to align the tongue portion centrally within the groove.
