  • Patent number: 9617957
    Abstract: Provided are a resin molding mold enabling an intake manifold made of a resin to be manufactured at low cost, an intake manifold, and a method for molding a resin for an intake manifold. The resin molding mold for an intake manifold includes a slide mold provided at an end of a surge tank and a plurality of combination-type core molds molding an inner surface of the surge tank. The core molds include a first core member capable of a relative movement in advance of another core member after resin molding, and a second core member capable of moving with utilizing an inner space formed by the relative movement of the first core member. The first core member and the second core member are configured to be extractable through a space inwardly of a resin-molded flange.

  • Patent number: 7171954
    Abstract: A fuel vapor adsorbing device (10, 60, 70, 70?, 80) for adsorbing residual fuel vapors that remain in an intake conduit (1, 2, 3, 4) of an induction system of an internal combustion engine when the internal combustion engine is stopped may include an adsorbing member (40, 40?) that is constructed to adsorb the residual fuel vapors and is disposed along an inner wall surface of the intake conduit. The adsorbing member is arranged and constructed to form a supplemental intake path (T, T?, T??) between the adsorbing member and the inner wall surface of the intake conduit, so that intake air of the engine can flow through the supplemental intake path.

  • Patent number: 7028673
    Abstract: An evaporative fuel adsorbent 32, which adsorbs evaporative fuel, is positioned substantially parallel to a sidewall surface 30 of a surge tank 22. A retention member 34 is positioned between the sidewall surface 22 and evaporative fuel adsorbent 32 to prevent oil, which runs down on the sidewall surface 22, from adhering to the evaporative fuel adsorbent 32. The evaporative fuel adsorbent 32 is mounted on the sidewall surface 30 of the surge tank 22 via the retention member 34.

  • Patent number: 6857409
    Abstract: An air intake system which includes a first member, a second member connected to the first member for forming an air intake passage for introducing an intake air from an upstream mechanism of an engine to cylinders of the engine, a first convex portion provided on either one of the first member or the second member, and a groove portion for forming a clearance by engaging with the convex portion on the other of the second member or the first member. The liquid sealing agent is charged into the clearance.
