Gas saving device

An auxilliary air inlet device for internal combustion engines in motor vehicles, comprising:

• a. elongated tubular housing means adapted to be mounted relative to the combustion engine,
• b. a replaceable air filter,
• c. mounting means for removably connecting one end of said air filter to one end of said housing means,
• d. means for connecting said housing means in spaced relation to said air filter to the carburetor and P.V.C. valve of the motor vehicle,
• e. a valve mounted within said housing means and adapted to be moved between an open position permitting the flow of air therethrough t= a closed position preventing the flow of air therethrough, said valve including:
• 1. a valve member having an exterior surface conforming to the interior configuration of said housing means in the closed position of the valve, and
• 2. inlet passages extending across the exterior surface of said valve member in spaced relationship to each other for the air to flow therethrough in the open position of said valve,
• f. lever means operatively associated with said valve member, said lever means including a lever arm having a free end and a fixed end thereof coupled to the axis of said valve member for angular rotation thereof within said housing means between the open and closed respective positions, and
• g. control means operatively associated with said lever means to be manually controlled from within the motor vehicle, said control means including a control link pivotably coupled to said free end of said lever arm and having the other end thereof extending into the vehicle to control therefrom.
