ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary air inlet device for internal combustion engines in motor vehicles includes an elongated tubular housing means adapted to be mounted relative to the combustion engine, and mounting means for removably connecting one end of an air filter to one end of the housing means, with means for connecting the housing means in spaced relation to the air filter to the carburetor and P.V.C. valve of the motor vehicle. A valve is mounted within the housing means and adapted to be moved between an open position permitting the flow of air therethrough to a closed position preventing the flow of air therethrough. The valve includes a valve member having an exterior surface conforming to the interior configuration of the housing means in the closed position of the valve, and inlet passages extending across the exterior surface of the valve member in spaced relationship to each other for the air to flow therethrough in the open position of the valve. Lever means is operatively associated with the valve member, and includes a lever arm having a free end and a fixed end thereof coupled to the axis of the valve member for angular rotation thereof within the housing means between the open and closed respective positions. Control means is operatively associated with the lever means to be manually controlled from within the motor vehicle.
