Abstract: A filter housing has a first aperture, a tube connected to and extending from the first aperture, at least one second aperture, and at least one filter connected to the at least one second aperture for filtering air entering the at least one second aperture. A portion of air entering the filter housing flows out of the filter housing via the first aperture and through the tube. Another portion of air entering the filter housing flows out of the filter housing via the at least one second aperture around the tube separately from the portion of air flowing out of the filter housing via the first aperture.

Abstract: A door and a vehicle including the door. The door includes a door body; a latch movable between locked and unlocked positions; a first handle accessible from an exterior side of the body; a second handle accessible from an interior side of the body; and a rod connecting the latch and the handles, the handles rotating about a common axis, the first handle being rotatable between a first and a second position, the second handle being rotatable between a third and a fourth position, the latch being in the locked position when the first handle is in the first position and the second handle is in the third position, the latch being in the unlocked position when the first handle is in the second position, the latch being in the unlocked position also when the second handle is in the fourth position.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a single-ski assembly being configured to convert a double-ski conventional snowmobile to a single-ski snowmobile while improving the steerability, the maneuverability and the floatation of snowmobiles and thus by providing an adjustable angular front orientation of the ski. The single-ski assembly comprises a damping system adapted to control the longitudinal direction of the snowmobile and a steering mechanism adapted to control the upward and downward rotation of the ski.

Abstract: A container assembly for a vehicle having a container receiving base having one of a catch and a catch receiving space and a removable container selectively disposed on the container receiving base, the removable container having a container body defining an item receiving space, and a handle pivotally connected to the container body and being movable between a locked and an unlocked position, the handle having an other one of the catch and the catch receiving space, the other one of the catch and the catch receiving space being movable with the handle, where in the locked position, the catch is received in the catch receiving space, preventing separation of the container from the base and in the unlocked position, the catch is out of the catch receiving space, allowing separation of the container from the base. A removable container and a vehicle incorporating the container assembly are also disclosed.

Abstract: A vehicle has a frame, at least one ground engaging member, an internal combustion engine, a turbocharger fluidly connected to an air intake port of the engine, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT has a CVT housing defining at least one CVT inlet for fluidly communicating an interior of the CVT housing with an atmosphere, a primary pulley housed in the CVT housing and operatively connected to the engine, a secondary pulley housed in the CVT housing and operatively connected to at least one of the at least one ground engaging member, a belt looped around the primary and secondary pulleys, and a CVT outlet conduit having an outlet portion. The outlet portion is oriented to generate a cooling air flow cooling at least one of: at least a portion of the turbocharger; and at least a portion of a component of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, front and rear wheels, a motor, and a driver seat. A passenger seat disposed side-by-side with the driver seat has a seat base that is pivotable about a horizontal pivot axis between a seating position where it extends horizontally and a storage position. A retaining surface having a seating position groove and a storage position groove is fixed with respect to one of the seat base and the frame. A retaining member fixed with respect to another of the seat base and the frame is complementary to the grooves. The retaining member is received in the storage position groove when the seat base is in the storage position, thereby retaining the seat base in the storage position. The retaining member is received in the seating position groove when the seat base is in the seating position, thereby retaining the seat base in the seating position.
