Abstract: An air duct system includes a first member that includes a groove disposed around only a portion of an opening. A second member defines a passage extending along a longitudinal axis, and is in fluid communication with the opening of the first member. The second member includes a flange disposed within the groove of the first member. The engagement between the flange and the groove restricts relative movement between the first member and the second member in an axial direction along the longitudinal axis. An attachment system connects the first member and the second member together, and restricts relative movement between the first member and the second member in a lateral direction that is transverse to the longitudinal axis, to secure the flange within the groove.

Abstract: An air induction system for delivering equal quantities of combustion air to an internal combustion engine has an air box assembly comprising a housing that defines a filter chamber that is configured to receive an air filter assembly, an air inlet that admits the fresh air into the housing and the filter chamber and outlets extending from the housing. The air filter assembly further comprises a filter media disposed between the air inlet and the outlets to define a filtered air chamber on a flow side of the filter media and a partition extending across the filtered air chamber to divide filtered, fresh air passing through the filter media into two flow paths, the divided flows paths exiting the housing and the filtered air chamber through the outlets.

Abstract: A remote control lever module comprising a shaft rotatably mounted on a support. A friction pad has a pair or surfaces each of which frictionally resists rotation of the shaft with respect to the support and permits relative rotation between the shafts and the support. A bearing assembly is loosely fit about the shaft to assure that the shaft may rotate in the support.

Abstract: A remote control lever module comprises an inner shaft coaxially located inside an outer shaft. The inner and outer shafts are rotatably mounted on a support and can rotate with respect to one another. A return mechanism is engageable with the inner and outer shafts enabling forward rotation of the inner shaft to cause forward rotation of the outer shaft. The return mechanism further enables extended forward rotation of the inner shaft with respect to the outer shaft, and urges backward rotation of the inner shaft to a rearmost position. The return mechanism limits backward rotation of the inner and outer shafts beyond a nonactuating position. A force spring urges the outer shaft to the nonactuating position. Sensors produce electrical signals proportional to the angular position of the inner and outer shafts. A friction pad can be disposed between the inner shaft and support to frictionally resist rotation of the inner shaft with respect to the support.
