Abstract: An air filter including a generally tubular filter element having an open air outlet end and a closed end is provided with a molded ring-like end cap of a soft elastomer material. A tubular air outlet member is mounted in the open end of the filter element with the end cap having a radially inwardly facing surface constructed so as to be compressed to sealingly engage the outlet member to block flow of contaminated air therebetween. A housing having an air inlet surrounds the filter element to provide an air distribution chamber for incoming contaminated air.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a unitary member formed to fit in the engine compartment of a vehicle and to function to both direct ram air toward the air cleaner and to eliminate moisture from that air. The unitary member includes an intemediate portion between inlet and outlet portions. The intermediate portion has a moisture elimination section with a drain opening.

Abstract: A flexible and resilient normally planar flap valve having two portions which together form a generally elongated oval shape. One portion of the flap has a greater radius than the other portion to restrict movement of the flap when installed in a tubular member. When installed the valve forms a generally arcuate shaped flap having a outer surface configured to conform to the cross-sectional shape of the tubular member. The flap has two operative positions; a first position in which the valve allows air to flow unrestricted through the tube; and a second position in which the valve seals off the main air source and directs air between a side opening and the tubular member. The flap is provided with a handle molded directly to one end of the flap, thereby creating a single piece integrated lever and live spring valve.
