FLANGE DEVICE AND INTAKE SYSTEM

摘要

A flange device for an air induction device of an internal combustion engine may include a housing of plastic having at least one inlet channel for each cylinder of the internal combustion engine. A fuel distribution rail of metal may have a connection for each cylinder for connecting a fuel injector, wherein the housing may have a flange that surrounds the outlet openings of the inlet channels and be configured to fasten the housing on the internal combustion engine. The housing may have a plurality of bridge sections that overlap the fuel distribution rail on a side facing away from the flange. Each bridge section may have a support sleeve arranged distally to the inlet channels and be configured to fasten the respective bridge section on the internal combustion engine.
