Patent ID: 7717476

Claim:
An air intake pipe system comprising: a pipe member having an outer surface, a first end having a first axial direction, a second end having a second axial direction transverse to the first axial direction and having an angled terminal end having a periphery offset at a diagonal relative to the second axial direction, an inner bore extending from the first end to the angled terminal end of the second end and having a uniform cross sectional area from the first end to the angled terminal end of the second end, a plate formed to and extending circumferentially outward from the outer surface of the second end of the pipe member; a plurality of claws disposed circumferentially about the outer surface of the second end of the pipe member and extending outwardly from the outer surface of the pipe member; a flange formed to and extending circumferentially outward from the outer surface of the pipe member at the angled terminal end of the pipe member, said flange offset at a diagonal relative to the second axial direction; and a collar having a cross sectional area larger than the uniform cross sectional area of the inner bore and axially extending from a periphery of the flange so as to prevent water from entering the inner bore of the pipe member, a periphery of the collar and the periphery of the angled terminal end having the same offset relative to the second axial direction of the second end of the pipe member, the flange and the collar having an outer diameter configured to pass through a through hole formed in and extending through a frame member to which the pipe member is installed.
