Embodiment Construction

[0018] reference Figure 1-3 , Shows the intake manifold assembly 10 of the present invention, including a first part 12 and a second part 14. Preferably, the first part 12 and the second part 14 are preferably connected together using an intermediate adhesive 16 to form an intake manifold. In a preferred embodiment, the connection of the first and second manifold portions forms one or more flow channels for forming air flow spaces.

[0019] One or both of the first or second part may include one or more additional coatings, layers or components (e.g. primers, plasma coatings or other surface treatments). Other surface treatments can be performed on these parts, such as sandblasting, wrinkling, corona treatment, laser treatment, flame treatment, combinations thereof, or similar treatments. Alternatively, one or both of the first part 12 or the second part 14 has a structure that facilitates the connection or positioning of these parts relative to each other on the top of the engin...

Abstract

An engine intake manifold assembly including a first portion configured with a first material and a second portion configured with a second material, wherein the first and second portions are adhesively bonded together. Preferably, the intake manifold assembly is additionally configured with a cylinder head flange, for mounting the same to an automotive engine component, and a throttle body attachment for attachment of a throttle body component. The cylinder head flange and throttle body attachment may be an integral component of the first or second portions or attached to the same during or after assembly of the first and second portions. Optionally, an insert is located between the assembled first and second portion to create one or more plenums thereby creating one or more air flow paths through the intake manifold assembly.

Description

[0001] Rights and Interests Requirements on Application Date [0002] This application requires the benefit of the filing date of the U.S. provisional application serial number US60 / 486038 filed on July 10, 2003 and the U.S. application serial number filed on June 29, 2004 to be assigned (agent number 62634A), and passed for all purposes Refer to include both of them in this article. Technical field [0003] The invention relates to an engine component assembly bonded with an adhesive, and more particularly to an intake manifold assembly bonded with an adhesive. Background technique [0004] Historically, manufacturing technology has included the manufacture of separate metal parts and the use of fasteners to connect these parts with a gasket arranged in the middle. This tends to require many parts and is therefore labor intensive. [0005] Through near net shape manufacturing processes, such as a lost core process, plastic engine intake manifold components have been manufactured ...
