Air cleaner with self-mounted inlet shroud seal

摘要

An underhood air cleaner (20) for a vehicle (22) has an inlet shroud seal (72) self-mounted to the filter housing (60) at the filter inlet (68) and engaging the hood (28) at the exit opening (36) of the hood air channel (30). The self-mounting is accomplished without extra parts or fasteners such as bolts and clamps. Both axial (198) and radial (200) retention is provided for the shroud seal (72) on the filter housing (60), as well as reduced inflow restriction.
