Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to engine manufacture. An air cleaner which comprises a housing (1) with an air-supply pipe (2) forming an annular clearance (3). A main filtering member (5) is placed in the clearance (3) and in close vicinity to the opening (13) of the air-supply pipe (2) and additional filtering member (14). According to the invention the filtering member (14) has a recess (15) which is coaxial to the pipe (2) on the surface (16). The size of the recess (15) on the surface (16) is greater than the diameter of the pipe (2). It is preferably to use the air cleaner in an engine operating in unfavorable conditions with vapors of oil and soot.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
An air cleaner comprising a housing (1) with an air-supply pipe (2) positioned substantially coaxially thereto with the formation of a clearance (3) between the outside surface of this pipe (2) and the inside surface of the housing (1) with the main filtering member (5) placed in the clearance (3), an air-vent pipe (11) positioned after the main filtering member (5) in the direction of the air movement, an additional filtering member (14) located close to the end face (12) of the housing (1) on the side of the outlet opening (13) of the pipe (2), characterized in that a recess (15) is made substantially coaxially to the pipe (2) on the side facing the outlet opening (13) of the pipe (2) with the maximum size (D) of the recess (15) on the surface (16) adjacent to the outlet opening (13) of the pipe (2) is greater than the diameter (d) of the latter.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
