The bypass ductis curved away from the central axial line CL in a region corresponding to the curved portionand reduced diameter portionof the intake passage. Between the intake passageand bypass ductis defined an annular space. In the reduced diameter portion, the outer lineris formed with a large number of foreign matter introduction openingsin a circumferential arrangement for communication between the intake passageand annular space. The inner casingis formed with a plurality of foreign matter ejection holesin a circumferential arrangement in a part thereof that curves outward for communication between the annular spaceand bypass duct
