Abstract:
An intake manifold includes a plurality of intake pipes that are provided in line to send air to an engine mounted on a vehicle through the intake pipes. Each of the intake pipes includes a main body formed of resin and an end pipe formed of resin, welded to a lower stream end side of the main body, and joined to the engine. Further, one member of the main body and the end pipe is provided with a rib that is formed on a side surface portion of the one member and that extends toward a lateral side of the other member. The other member is provided with a restriction portion that is formed on a side surface portion of the other member and that interferes with the rib to restrict moving of the main body in the crash direction relative to the end pipe when a weld portion of the main body and the end pipe is broken due to a collision load applied to the intake pipe at a vehicle crash.

Claim (Index 3):
The intake manifold according to  claim 2 , wherein\n the rib contains:\n a pair of vertical ribs each of which extends from the side surface portion of the lower stream end side of each of the main bodies of a pair of the intake pipes that are adjacent to each other toward the lateral side of the end pipe; and \n a connection rib that connects the pair of vertical ribs to each other, and \n the vertical rib is arranged to be opposite to or in contact with the restriction portion in the crash direction.
