Abstract:
An air duct apparatus includes a bendable piece of material having at least three flat segments and at least two tabs. The lower segment points in a downward direction to facilitate air flow through the air duct apparatus. The upper segment points in an upward direction to facilitate air flow to the motor compartment. The middle segment is parallel to a portion of a ground surface. One of the at least two tabs is located on a right side of the bendable piece of material and a second of the at least two tabs is located on a left side of the bendable piece of material. The horizontal-one-tab-flat segment and the horizontal-second-tab-flat-segment may be to be coupled to a bottom surface of the vehicle. The air duct apparatus provides a cooling effect to the motor compartment of the vehicle by directing air towards the motor compartment.

Claim (Index 19):
An air duct apparatus for cooling a motor compartment of a vehicle, said air duct apparatus comprising:\n a bendable piece of material, said bendable piece of material having at least three flat segments and at least two tabs; wherein said at least three flat segments include an upper segment, a lower segment, and a middle segment, wherein said middle segment is positioned between said lower segment and said upper segment; wherein said lower segment points in a downward direction to facilitate air flow through said air duct apparatus; wherein said upper segment points in an upward direction to facilitate air flow to said motor compartment; wherein said middle segment is parallel to a portion of a ground surface; wherein said at least three flat segments are not coplanar; wherein said at least three flat segments are elongate in shape; wherein one of said at least two tabs is located on a right side of said bendable piece of material; wherein a second of said at least two tabs is located on a left side of said bendable piece of material; wherein said air duct apparatus is configured to provide a cooling effect to said motor compartment of said vehicle; wherein said bendable piece of material is made of aluminum; wherein said bendable piece of material has a plurality of substantially diamond-shaped figures disposed about a surface area of said bendable piece of material; wherein said bendable piece of material is one continuous piece of material; wherein said plurality of substantially diamond-shaped figures is disposed about said surface area in an alternating pattern; wherein said alternating pattern is comprised of a first row of said plurality of substantially diamond-shaped figures facing in a first direction and a second row of said plurality of substantially diamond-shaped figures facing in an opposite second direction; wherein said at least three segments are rectangular in shape; wherein at least two of said at least three segments are substantially congruent; wherein said at least two substantially congruent segments are about 2 inches in width; wherein said middle segment is about 3 inches in width; wherein said one tab comprises two one-tab-flat-segments; wherein said second tab comprises two second-tab-flat-segments; wherein one of said one-tab-flat-segments is vertical; wherein another of said one-tab-flat-segments is horizontal; wherein one of said second-tab-flat-segments is vertical; wherein another of said second-tab-flat-segments is horizontal; wherein said horizontal-one-tab-flat-segment is configured to be coupled to a bottom surface of said vehicle; and wherein said horizontal-second-tab-flat-segment is configured to be coupled to a bottom surface of said vehicle.
