ABSTRACT:
An air intake assembly for a vehicle comprises a first housing rotatably mounted on the vehicle and a stationary second housing mounted within the first housing. A plurality of first inlets are formed through the first housing and are adapted to align with a plurality of second inlets formed through the second housing to normally permit the passage of air therethrough for engine consumption purposes. Upon further relative rotation of the housings, the inlets become misaligned to prevent the passage of air therethrough. In the preferred embodiment, inlets are formed through both side and bottom walls of the housings and disposed thereon whereby upon alignment of the inlets formed through the side walls of the housing to permit the passage of air therethrough the inlets formed through the bottom walls of the housings will be closed and vice versa.
