  • Adaptive air intake sealing joint
    Patent number: 10006417
    Abstract: An adaptive air intake joint for an internal combustion engine comprising a molded elastomeric duct body having standing ribs constructed and arranged to provide a continuous and sufficient contact force across the face of a joint of an adjoining duct body. A clamp secured to the duct causes the ribs to provide a continuous and sufficient contact force across a seal surface, eliminating the need for constant tension clamp and improving the air intake joint seal to prevent leakage that is especially common in cold environments.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 26, 2018

  • Air intake apparatus
    Patent number: 8485153
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an air intake duct for an internal combustion engine that is capable of reducing the noise associated with the induction of air. The air intake duct includes an inlet and an outlet as well as an opening in a side wall located between the inlet and outlet. Mounted within this opening is a woven acoustic membrane. The acoustic membrane reduces inlet snorkel noise by dissipating pressure waves in the duct. The woven acoustic membrane is formed from a material that allows sufficient air flow into the air intake duct and also resists water penetration into the air intake duct.
