  • Publication number: 20140190764
    Abstract: There is provided an air intake duct capable of fully achieving intake-air noise attenuation effect. The air intake duct has a duct wall section formed of resin in form of tube and configured to introduce external air into an internal combustion engine or alternate power supply system. The duct wall section is provided with a silencing member formed of a lamination of a surface layer formed of a non-woven fabric to which thermosetting resin is impregnated and a ventilation adjusting layer formed of an extendable paper material having a surface in which a plurality of concave and convex portions are formed, and the silencing member includes at least one pair of the surface layers on front and back surfaces of at least one pair of the ventilation adjusting layers, and an intermediate layer is formed between the paired ventilation adjusting layers, the intermediate layer being formed of a same material as that of the surface layer.

  • Patent number: 8132552
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an intake duct having waterproof function without increasing parts count. An intake duct 10 for air intake from the outside to an internal combustion engine E includes a duct wall 11 made of a resin in a tubular form. The duct wall 11 includes a waterproof and humidity-transparent component 20 having a water-repellent layer 21 made of high-density fiber and a waterproof and humidity-transparent layer 22 made of fine porous film laminated to each other.

  • Patent number: 7834078
    Abstract: Main object is to provide a composition for parts of the intake system, which is capable of enhancing the flexural elasticity modulus of the parts of the intake system and reducing the specific gravity of the parts. Disclosed is a fiber reinforced resin composition for parts of intake system on the internal combustion engine comprising a block polypropylene type resin which has a MFR in the range of 40-70 g/10 minutes (at 230° C. and under a load of 2.16 kg) and which is in the range of 60-80% by weight of the composition, and glass fibers and mica the total of which are in the range of 20-40% by weight of the composition.
