  • the end of the intake manifold is 9 designed as a ring 43 rotatably mounted on the suction pipe 10, on which the finger-shaped entrainment members 27 are releasably attached.
  • Fig. 5 shows a side view of a suction pipe end section 9, wherein the area forming the suction opening 16 in a dash-dotted line suction opening level 34 shown.
  • This closes with the Longitudinal axis 23 of the intake pipe end section 9 an angle ⁇ .
  • This is preferably 45 °, but can vary depending on the desired one Size of the suction opening 16 expediently between about 30 ° and Vary 50 °.
  • the further variant of an intake manifold end section shown in FIG. 6 also has an inclined suction opening 16 which is bent of the lower end region of the intake pipe end section 9 is coming.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 shows an intake pipe end section 9 with a coaxial to it, circular in cross section Thrust tube 35 by means of a schematically indicated drive 36 height of guides 37 relative to the intake pipe end section 9 is trained.
  • a sloping 5 has the first suction opening 16
  • a variant optionally with a corresponding shift of the push tube 35 either with a perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 23 extending suction opening 38 (Fig. 7) or with an oblique suction opening 16 (Fig. 8) to suction.
  • FIGs. 9 and 10 show (Fig. 10 is a view of the one in Fig. 9 shown intake manifold end section 9 according to arrow VI) yet another Variant of an intake manifold end section 9.
  • This has one of two areas 40.41 existing suction opening 16.
  • the first area 40 of the suction opening 16 comprises the inclined one located in the suction opening plane 34 Part, while the second area forming the suction opening level 39 41 extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 23.
  • this second area 41 which is approximately a quarter of the circumference of the intake manifold end portion 9 comprises, recesses 42 are provided on the intake pipe end section 9, which form tooth-shaped entrainment members 27.
