Reference numeral 23 denotes an innermost cylindrical body as a frame on the internal combustion engine side, which is composed of expanded metal, punching metal, or the like.
This expanded metal is formed of a material such as iron, stainless steel, or aluminum steel. For example, the original mesh is rolled to form a thin plate on the same plane, and various surface treatments such as galvanizing or coating are performed. Then, the expanded metal having a thin plate shape is formed into the innermost cylindrical body 23. Further, the innermost cylindrical body 23 can be formed by, for example, using a punching metal and drilling holes patterned in a thin plate shape.
A cylindrical frame having the same configuration as that of the inner cylindrical body 23 may be provided on the outermost side.

  Reference numeral 24 denotes a first fiber material, which is wound around the outer or outer surface of the innermost cylindrical body 23 and formed into a cylindrical shape. The first fiber material 24 is made of a fiber that radiates radiation exhibiting a hormesis effect, generates far-infrared rays, and applies a material that generates negative ions in response to intake air taken from the outside, and deposits the material. And it consists of a single member.

Reference numeral 25 denotes a cylindrical intake air active material, which is wound or interposed on the outer or outer surface of the first fiber material 24. The material is a carbon fiber material, tourmaline powder, monazite powder, ceramic. It is prepared by filling one of powder, carbon powder, silicon powder, and glass fiber powder, and is prepared by appropriately selecting and mixing each of the above powders.
The tourmaline powder granule may be black tourmaline or red tourmaline, and may be a red granite, a lithiate, a blue calcite, a liquefaction stone, a silicate mineral, or a carbon material. And the tourmaline powder etc. which were mentioned above are effective as a raw material which produces | generates a negative ion and a far infrared ray in cooperation with the outer side cylindrical body layer comprised with the fiber material which has a hormesis effect mentioned later.

Further, in the present invention, monazite powder granules and trace amounts of various mineral powders containing cobalt, strontium, iodine, sodium, cesium, radium, uranium, radon, plutonium, phosphorus, potassium, iron and the like as radiation generating materials. The body may be used.
Then, by appropriately selecting, mixing and adjusting the above-described cylindrical intake air active material, it is possible to rationally adapt to the design specifications of various internal combustion engines. The cylindrical intake air active material 25 is composed of a single or a plurality of layers, for example, a three-layer cylindrical body.

  26 is a second fiber material made of the same material as the first fiber material 24, and is wound around the outer or outer surface of the cylindrical intake air active material 25 to form a cylindrical shape. A plurality of layers are formed. FIG. 1 shows a second fiber material 26 having four layers. A third fiber material 27 having the same material and shape as the first and second fiber materials 24 and 26 is wound on the outermost side. The third fiber material 27 is a single or multi-layer on the outside air introduction side of the second fiber material 26, and has a function as a demountable fiber material that is detachably covered and configured.

  The first and second fiber materials 24 and 26 are metal that is erected and fixed in advance in the winding direction with hot bonds, adhesives, or the like, in advance on the peripheral portion on the opposite surface side of the upper and lower thin flat rings or ridges. The first and second flat bars 28a, 28b made of or made of hard plastic are wound around the inside. The third fiber material 27 is substantially perpendicular to the winding direction and is formed of a third flat plate bar 28c that is erected and fixed with a hot bond or an adhesive or the like at the peripheral portion on the opposite surface side of the upper and lower ridges. Both side surfaces are bonded and fixed with male and female surface fasteners 27a and 27b. The first to third flat bars 28a, 28b, 28c are disposed at an angle of, for example, about 120 ° from the center of the cylindrical air filter cleaner A as shown in FIG. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the third fiber material 27 as the removable fiber material is formed in a flat plate shape made of a substantially rectangular body, and male and female surface fasteners 27a and 27b are fixed to both ends thereof. After being wound, it is fixed to both side surfaces of the third flat plate bar 28c with the hook-and-loop fasteners 27a and 27b.

  Thus, when the intake air is sent to the intake air flow path as the intake pipe at a speed of 3 m / second, for example, the intake air P1 shown in FIG. 1 passes through the third and second fiber materials 27 and 26. Then, the cylindrical intake air active material 25 and the first fiber material 24 flow through, radiate radiation that itself produces the hormesis effect, generate far infrared rays, and react with the intake air taken in from the outside to generate negative ions. The negative intake ions and the far infrared rays are activated in cooperation with the cylindrical intake air activator 25, and the activated intake air P2 is sent to the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.

At this time, the first and second flat bars 28a and 28b are parallel to the surface of the innermost cylindrical body 23 and are arranged in the tangential direction thereof. Further, the third flat plate bar 28 c is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the innermost inner cylindrical body 23. Thus, a space S is formed between the surface of the innermost inner cylinder 23 and the surfaces of the first to third flat bars 28a to 28c, and the first fiber material 24, carbon fiber shown in FIG. A cylindrical air activated material 25 made of a material or the like and a second fiber material 26 made of a single layer or multiple layers are wound.

At this time, it passes through the inside of the first to third flat plate bars 28a, 28b, and 28c, which are erected and fixed to the peripheral edge portions 29a and 29b on the opposing surfaces of the upper and lower flanges 29 and 29, that is, within the space S. Then, the ends of the second fiber material 26 are fixed with hot bonds or adhesives. Note that a male or female hook-and-loop fastener may be affixed to the end of the second fiber material 26 and fixed by bonding them.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, the third fiber material 27 is wound around the outer peripheral surface or the outside of the second fiber material 26 one or more times.
