<p>A multiple throttle mechanism comprises a pair of intake manifold blocks (106A, 106B) separated from each other and each having two or more parallel passages (116a, 116b, 116c, 116d) formed therethrough and a wall portion separating thereby the adjacent parallel passages, the parallel passages each being a part of each of the intake manifold passages (106a-106d) communicating with respective engine cylinders (108a-108d), and a pair of throttle shafts (111A, 111B) arranged in an axial direction, each crossing the parallel passages (116a-116d), passing through a through hole (118a, 118b) formed in the wall portion of the intake manifold block (106A; 106B) and supported on the intake manifold block (106A, 106B), the throttle valves (100a-100d) being mounted on the throttle shafts (111A, 111B) so that the throttle valves are operated simultaneously to control the cross sectional area of each the parallel passage (116a-116d). The multiple throttle mechanism further comprises air gaps formed between an inner circumference of the through holes (118a-118b) and an outer circumference of the shafts (111A, 111B) to provide an initial air flow.</p> |
