Abstract

An air intake device for use with an internal combustion engine has an air cleaner case adapted to be mounted on the engine to extend longitudinally along an upper wall of the engine. An opening is formed in a longitudinal end portion of a bottom wall of the air cleaner case. An air cleaner body has an open end that is connected to the opening of the bottom wall of the air cleaner case thereby to communicate an interior of the air cleaner body with that of the air cleaner case. An air cleaner element is put between the air cleaner body and the air cleaner case in a manner to extend across the opening of the bottom wall of the air cleaner case.
