Abstract
A mounting arrangement is provided for mounting the air cleaner for an internal combustion engine in a vehicle. The air cleaner generally includes a casing having air inlet and outlet openings and an open side, a pot-shaped housing containing a filter element and having an open side selectively attachable to the open side of the casing. The mounting arrangement provides two substantially parallel and horizontal rods upon which the air cleaner can be placed. The air cleaner can be held to the rods by a variety of techniques, including hooks and guide rings. The mounting structure allows the housing to be detached and slid away from the casing for cleaning or replacement of the filter element, then be accurately realigned with the casing so that an accurate seal can be engaged.
