Abstract An air intake noise suppressor for reducing noise generated by intake air sucked into an internal combustion engine. An intake pipe is provided with a resonance pipe, which extends forwards within the intake pipe as penetrating through a rear end wall of the intake pipe, communicates with the interior of the intake pipe through an opening at its front end, extends backwards from the rear end wall externally of the intake pipe and has its rear end closed, and the resonance pipe is fixedly locked to the intake pipe at its portion penetrating through the rear end wall and in the proximity of the opening at the front end. Since the resonance pipe is accommodated within the intake pipe over a considerable length and only its rear end portion projects backwards from the intake pipe, a surplus space is almost not necessitated for mounting the resonance pipe, and yet the resonance pipe itself can be made sufficiently long. The resonance pipe is supported simply and rigidly at its front end portion and at its middle portion by the intake pipe, and other support members are not necessitated.
An air intake noise suppressor formed by branching a resonance pipe having a rear tip end closed from an intake pipe of an internal combustion engine; characterized in that the intake pipe is provided with said resonance pipe, which extends forwardly within said intake pipe by penetrating through a rear end wall of the intake pipe, said resonance pipe communicates with the interior of said intake pipe through an opening at a front end, extends backwards from said rear end wall externally of said intake pipe towards said closed rear end, and said resonance pipe is fixedly locked to said intake pipe at a portion penetrating through said rear end wall and in the proximity of the opening at said front end.

An air intake noise suppressor formed by branching a resonance pipe having a rear tip end closed from an intake pipe of an internal combustion engine; characterized in that the intake pipe is provided with said resonance pipe, which extends forwardly within said intake pipe by penetrating through a rear end wall of the intake pipe, said resonance pipe communicates with the interior of said intake pipe through an opening at a front end, extends backwards from said rear end wall externally of said intake pipe towards said closed rear end, and said resonance pipe is fixedly locked to said intake pipe at a portion penetrating through said rear end wall and in the proximity of the opening at said front end.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
An air intake noise suppressor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said intake pipe projects from a side of an air cleaner and is bent forwardly providing a bending portion and said rear end wall is formed in said bending portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
An air intake noise suppressor as claimed in claim 1, wherein a forwardly projecting claw-like locking piece is formed at the front end of said resonance pipe by obliquely cutting a wall of said resonance pipe, and a locking hole for locking the resonance pipe by inserting said locking piece into the locking hole formed in an inner wall of said intake pipe.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
An air intake noise suppressor as claimed in claim 1, wherein a split reception member is provided on the rear end wall of said intake pipe, and the resonance pipe is fixed to the intake pipe by fastening said reception member externally by means of a band.
