Patent number: 9745916Abstract: An intake port is configured such that a center position of an intake upstream side opening is offset to one side in a juxtaposition direction of intake downstream side openings with respect to a center position between the intake downstream side openings in the juxtaposition direction as viewed in plan of a cylinder head. An injector is configured such that a fuel injection center axial line is inclined to the other side in the juxtaposition direction with respect to a center axial line of the intake upstream side opening as viewed in plan of the cylinder head.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2012Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Hitoshi Yokotani, Takaaki Shomura, Hiroshi Sotani, Teppei Maeda

Patent number: 8567542Abstract: A vehicle intake duct surrounds a high-flow intake passage, which ensures flow capacity and does not spatially restrict other components. The vehicle includes an engine attached to a vehicle body frame, with the intake duct interconnecting an air cleaner and a throttle body, a transmission for sending engine output to wheels, and a seat mounted on an upper longitudinal frame section of the vehicle body frame. The air cleaner is also provided on the upper longitudinal frame section forward of the seat. The intake duct includes a first extending portion descending rearwardly and downwardly from an outlet of the air cleaner and passing laterally of the throttle body, a curved portion extending rearwardly from the first extending portion and toward a center of the vehicle body frame, and a second extending portion wound around toward a rear portion of the throttle body and connected thereto.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2011Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiromitsu Shiina, Yukinori Kurakawa, Hiromasa Yamaguchi, Ranju Imao, Teppei Maeda
