  • Patent number: 5839404
    Abstract: An intake manifold positioned between two banks of a V-shaped engine has a structure in which a body section and a connecting section coupled to each other with a plate-like mounting stay interposed therebetween. A support leg integrally formed on the mounting stay is fixed by a bolt to injector bases coupled to cylinder heads of the engine E. Thus, it is possible to firmly support the intake manifold by means of the mounting stay and moreover, to eliminate the need for a special fixing device for fixing the mounting stay to the intake manifold, thereby leading to a reduced number of parts.
