ABSTRACT:
An improved intake hood for the air inlet pipe of the internal combustion engines of vehicles having a cab, the hood comprising a right angle conduit arranged to telescope over the inlet pipe so as to provide an annular chamber for trapping water. Internal clips are provided for supporting the hood on the inlet pipe, and the former is clamped at its bottom to the latter. The other end of the hood is cut off obliquely, so that the top overhangs the bottom, to minimize direct entry of falling rain and a screen is provided to keep out foreign bodies. This portion of the hood is to be directed horizontally for axial exposure to the air flow over the cab of the vehicle. The cross section of the hood is circular at the branch connected to the inlet pipe, and rectangular at the other branch, and the transistion piece therebetween is configured to maximize the separation of rain water from the air flowing through the hood.
