  • Patent number: 11982251
    Abstract: An air supply device for an internal combustion engine may include at least one air chamber and at least two intake pipes, which are connected to the at least one air chamber. The intake pipes may each be designed to supply air to respective cylinders of the internal combustion engine, and they each may have intake pipe end portion assigned to a corresponding inlet opening. Via the inlet openings, air can move from an air chamber interior of the at least one air chamber into respective intake pipe interiors of the at least two intake pipes and also via the intake pipe interiors to the cylinders. The intake pipe end portions may end in the air chamber interior and overlap in at least one direction, which is oriented perpendicularly to at least one center axis of at least one of the intake pipe end portions at a common overlapping region.

  • Patent number: 11840299
    Abstract: A transmission for a motorcycle includes a housing; at least one shaft at least partially accommodated in the housing, a locking device which has at least one first locking element which can be rotated with the shaft and at least one second locking element which can be moved relative to the housing, relative to the shaft, and relative to the first locking element. The second locking element can move between at least one release position in which the locking elements do not engage in one another and the shaft is released for rotation, and at least one locking position in which the locking elements engage in one another to secure the shaft against rotation relative to the housing. The transmission further includes an actuating device configured to move the second locking element out of the release position into the locking position via at least one intermediate position.
