Abstract

A vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle includes a body. The body includes a forward end and a rearward end spaced from each other along a longitudinal axis. The forward end of the body defines an opening for allowing airflow into the body. The vehicle also includes a venturi brake duct assembly positioned relative to the opening to receive the airflow from the opening and to guide the airflow to a brake device for cooling the brake device.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to venturi brake tube assemblies. Background technique [0002] Vehicles may include brake ducts that collect airflow and direct the airflow to the brakes to cool the brakes. Typically the brake pipe is in fluid communication with an opening in the front end of the vehicle. For example, the opening may be defined in a front bumper. [0003] Many different brake ducts have been designed. For example, one type of brake duct utilizes a square or circular cross-section duct that has a constant cross-sectional area and that directs airflow to the braking device. Another type of brake duct utilizes a ramp formed in the front bumper that redirects the airflow and thus does not utilize ducts. Yet another type of brake duct utilizes a flap that is movable between a first position that closes the opening and a second position that opens the opening. With this type of brake duct, the vanes are motorized to move the vanes between these ...
