An intake device ( ) for an internal combustion engine including a main body ( ) and cover element ( ) which are securely connected to one another. Main body ( ) and cover element ( ) form intake pipes ( ) of in intake manifold. The cover element ( ) includes a plurality of individual shells ( ), which are connected to one another. Each individual shell ( ) forms a wall section of a respective intake pipe ( ) of the intake device ( ). A flexible connection element ( ) is arranged between two successively adjacent individual shells ( ) to compensate for tolerances between the cover element ( ) and the main body ( ).

Intake device

An intake device for an internal combustion engine including a mounting flange ( ) for mounting to a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine and a plurality of intake manifolds ( ) which open into a common collecting chamber. The mounting flange ( ) and upper shells ( ) form a first component; lower shells ( ) form a third component, and a central, second component ( ) is provided between the first and third components. The respective components are assembled to each other in such a way that the second component is fixed to the first component by a positive fit, and the third component is fixed to the second component in the same way. The components are preferably secured together by friction welding.
