Abstract:

A modular system of routing clip subcomponents having compatible interlocking features allows for as-needed assembly of multiple clips and extensions, thereby eliminating the need for specialized standoff brackets and clipping devices when routing vehicle wires, hoses, tubes, cables, harnesses, and the like. Generally molded from high-impact and decay resistant polymers, the elements of the modular system are inexpensive to manufacture and simple to assemble by hand.

International Classification:

B01D 5100

US Classification:

553853, 55419, 123198 E

Abstract:

The invention is an inlet device or snow valve adapted to fit an air cleaner housing for a motor vehicle. The inlet device has an annular door with an open window that rotates between first and second positions. In the first position, the window of the annular door aligns with an outside air opening in the housing to allow the flow of outside air into the air cleaner apparatus. In the second position, the annular door rotates so the sidewall of the annular door covers the outside air opening and blocks the flow of outside air into the air cleaner apparatus. The second position allows the flow of under hood air into the air cleaner apparatus. In either position, the device preferably totally closes the other opening to assure all under hood intake air flow comes from the desired location.
