In one embodiment, the engine includes a shroud defining an air cleaner compartment. The engine further includes a tubular air feed port defining a combustion air intake. The air feed port terminates at an end face located at or within the air cleaner compartment, and a lower portion of the end face is notched relative to other portions of the end face. In other embodiments, an engine oil drain system is provided that selectively positions a distal end of an oil drain tube at a drain position located away from the engine. The oil drain tube may also be repositioned to a stored position, wherein the distal end of the drain tube attaches to a nipple connected to either an engine housing or surrounding structure. | 12-17-2015 |
20150375602 | Air Filtration Assembly - An air filtration assembly for filtering air in a vehicle includes a housing that may be positionable within a vehicle. A first filter is coupled to the housing. A second filter is coupled to the housing. The second filter comprises a plurality of filtering mediums. A motor is coupled to the housing. A fan is coupled to the motor. The motor moves the fan. The fan urges air through the first and second filters so particles in the air in the vehicle are filtered. | 12-31-2015 |
20160003200 | DISPOSABLE FILTER FOR AN ENGINE - A disposable filter for an engine includes a shroud and a filter element. The shroud has at least one pair of sidewalls that define an inlet and an outlet respectively therethrough. The sidewall includes an outer ply, an inner ply, and a core comprising a honeycomb matrix of cells. The outer ply and the inner ply are disposed in a spaced-apart relation to each other. Lateral ends of the core are bonded to inner surfaces of the outer ply and the inner ply to integrally form the sidewall. The filter element is disposed within the shroud and also releasably coupled to the shroud. Further, the shroud and the filter element are both formed using at least one bio-degradable material. | 01-07-2016 |

20160097353 | Air filter for internal combustion engines - An air filtration system comprises an airflow inverter valve, an internal diffuser and a cylindrical filtration element positioned between the airflow inverter valve and the internal diffuser. A frustoconical external diffuser is joined to the airflow inverter valve so as to at least partly surround the filtration element. If desired, the airflow inverter valve and the external diffuser may be built as a single monolithic member. In one example, the airflow inverter valve, internal diffuser, filtration element and external diffuser each have a central axis of rotation aligned along a common central axis of the air filtration system. | 04-07-2016 |
20160102637 | AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY WITH INTEGRATED ACOUSTIC RESONATOR - An air induction system for a vehicle having an engine includes a housing, a filter and an acoustic resonator. The housing includes a first housing member, a second housing member, and an air flow path passing through the housing. The filter is located within the housing and disposed in the air flow path for removing debris from intake air. The acoustic resonator is integrally formed with the first housing member and is operative to reduce noise generated by the engine. | 04-14-2016 |
20160108866 | VERTICAL AIR INTAKE SYSTEM; AIR CLEANER; AND FILTER ELEMENT - Air filter elements, air cleaners, vertical air intake systems, and methods for servicing and using are provided. An air filter element includes a filter arrangement, an elbow, and a filter element seal member. The filter arrangement includes a filter media pack having a dirty air inlet and a clean air outlet, wherein air flowing through the clean air outlet flows in a first axial direction and the clean air outlet defines a filter arrangement cross sectional area. The elbow has a first end constructed to extend from the filter arrangement clean air outlet, a second end wherein air flowing through the second end flows in a second axial direction, and an air flow enclosure extending from the elbow first end to the elbow second end. The air flow enclosure includes an air deflector constructed to direct air from the first axial direction to the second axial direction, wherein the second axial direction is different from the first axial direction, and an interior volume between the elbow first end and the elbow second end. The filter element seal member is located on the elbow second end, wherein the filter element seal member is constructed to seal to a clean air intake, the filter element seal member located on the elbow second end defining a seal member cross sectional area. The filter element can be characterized as having a ratio of the seal member cross sectional area to the filter arrangement cross sectional area of at least 0.5. The filter element can have a z-filter media pack for a pleated media pack. The filter element can have the air deflector extending at an angle of at least 10 degrees relative to the first axial direction. The air deflector can include a projection surrounded by a recess, the access cover can include a recess that receives the air deflector projection, and the access cover can include a projection that is received within the air deflector recess. The air cleaner can be provided with a secondary filter element and the secondary filter element can include a recess for receiving the air deflector recess. The secondary filter element can include a projection that projects into the air deflector projection. | 04-21-2016 |
20160131093 | AIR CLEANER STRUCTURE FOR BLOCKING INFLOWING OF DEBRIS AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - An air cleaner structure for blocking an inflow of debris to prevent the debris from inflowing into an engine intake passage of an air cleaner housing when replacing a filter includes a rotator fixing the filter and a filter cover to the air cleaner housing and generating a rotating force to open and close the engine intake passage. An engine intake passage door opens and closes the engine intake passage by the rotating force of the rotator. A connector has one end connected to the rotator and another end connected to the engine intake passage door to deliver the rotating force to the engine intake passage door. | 05-12-2016 |
