INTAKE DUCT STRUCTURE OF MOTORCYCLE
An intake duct structure of a motorcycle includes front forks disposed on both of right and left sides of a head pipe of a body frame and a main frame extending obliquely backward and downward from the head pipe, wherein the intake duct structure extends from a front end of the motorcycle toward the head pipe and is formed in such a manner that an interfered area where a rotational orbit of the front forks at a time of steering overlaps the intake duct structure is elastically deformable.
SADDLE RIDING VEHICLE
An intake duct has a front-rear two-split structure, and includes a rear duct connected to a body frame and a front duct connected to the rear duct. The rear duct includes a body frame connection portion that is connected to the body frame and is attached with a rear stay that supports a cowl and a meter, and the front duct is directed forward from the rear duct.
Arrangement and a method for controlling the temperature of air being fed to a vehicle engine
An arrangement for controlling the temperature of air being fed to a vehicle engine includes an engine compartment in which the engine is arranged. The engine compartment is provided with an ambient air intake allowing an airflow into the engine compartment. The engine is provided with an engine air intake arranged inside the engine compartment. The arrangement further includes an air fan for forcing the airflow via the ambient air intake into the inside of the engine compartment. The engine air intake is arranged in a position allowing at least a substantial part of the airflow to enter the engine air intake.
SNORKEL SYSTEM
A snorkel system comprising: (a) a vehicle adapter configured to connect to a vehicle; (b) one or more air tubes configured to extend along an interior of an engine compartment of the vehicle; and (c) one or more angle adapters adapted to be located within the engine compartment of the vehicle, the one or more angle adapters fluidly connecting the vehicle adapter and the one or more air tubes together; wherein the one or more angle adapters include: an inlet opening located within a first plane, the inlet opening being located proximate to and in fluid communication with the vehicle adapter, and an outlet opening being in communication with a first end of the one or more air tubes, the outlet opening being located within a second plane that is spaced apart from and extends substantially parallel to the first angle adapter.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH FLEXIBLE DISPLAY
An electronic device includes: a processor; a memory; a first body member; a second body member; a flexible display, wherein a first portion of the flexible display is mounted to the first body member, and wherein a second portion of the flexible display is mounted to the second body member; a shaft mounted to the second body member; a hinge coupled to the first and second body members; a first arm having a first pivot with the first body member; and a threaded coupling between the first arm and the shaft.
Multiple Inlet Vehicle Air Filtration System
An air box and methods are provided for communicating an airstream through an air filter to an air intake duct of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle. The air box is comprised of a housing that supports the air filter within an interior of the housing. A mount portion within the housing fixedly receives a base of the air filter. Multiple air inlets couple with corresponding air inlet ports of the vehicle to direct the airstream into the air box. A duct directs the airstream from the multiple air inlets to the interior of the housing and to the air filter. An opening into the housing exposes at least one surface of an electronic control unit (ECU) to the airstream for cooling of the ECU. A conduit communicates the airstream from an interior of the air filter to the air intake duct of the internal combustion engine.
Multiple Inlet Filtration System
An apparatus and a method are provided for a multiple inlet air box to communicate an airstream through an air filter to an air intake duct of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle. The multiple inlet air box is comprised of a housing that supports the air filter within an interior of the housing. A mount portion within the housing fixedly receives a base of the air filter. Multiple air inlets couple with corresponding air inlet ports of the vehicle to direct the airstream into the multiple inlet air box. A duct directs the airstream from the multiple air inlets to the interior of the housing. A conduit communicates the airstream from an interior of the air filter to the air intake duct of the internal combustion engine.
PRO STOCK FUEL INJECTION AIR INTAKE ASSEMBLY
An apparatus and a method are provided for an air intake assembly configured for use with Pro Stock vehicles comprising fuel injection equipped engines. The air intake assembly comprises an air inlet that includes a distal opening disposed in a forward direction at a front of the vehicle and configured to direct incident air into the air intake assembly. An air duct is joined with the air inlet by way of a first coupler configured to maintain an airtight seal between the air inlet and the air duct. A throttle body adapter is joined with the air duct by way of a second coupler configured to maintain an airtight seal therebetween. The throttle body adapter is configured to establish an airtight coupling between the air intake assembly and a throttle body of the engine, such that the incident air is directed into the throttle body.
Hood air scoop
An apparatus and a system is provided that may be utilized to provide stability to air flow through a hood scoop. The present invention may also be utilized to straighten and smooth out air flow through a hood scoop and accompanying air filter media. The present invention utilizes an air filtration media which may be inserted into at least a portion of a vehicle hood scoop and may filter out particulate and may also slow air flow down temporarily in order to straighten and/or smooth turbulent air flow through the air filtration media. Additionally, the present invention may provide an apparatus that may facilitate more uniform pressure inside the hood scoop of the vehicle.
VEHICLE HAVING SEPARABLE DRIVER AND PROPULSION MODULES
A vehicle has a driver module and a propulsion module selectively connected to the driver module. The modules are separable from each other as independent units. The driver module has a driver module frame, at least one front wheel operatively connected to the driver module frame, at least one front suspension assembly operatively connecting the at least one front wheel to the driver module frame, and a seat connected to the frame. The propulsion module has a propulsion module frame, at least one rear wheel operatively connected to the propulsion module frame, at least one rear suspension assembly operatively connecting the at least one rear wheel to the propulsion module frame, a motor operatively connected to the at least one rear wheel, and an energy storage device operatively connected to the motor.
