There is provided an air cleaner in which an adsorption element for adsorbing vaporized fuel is surely fixed to a housing without additionally providing a special step, and moreover the performance of element and the performance of an air cleaner itself can be maintained, and a manufacturing method for the air cleaner. The air cleaner is configured so that a filter element and an adsorption element for adsorbing vaporized fuel are incorporated in a housing formed by joining the open ends of a pair of housing members to each other. At the open end of each of the housing members, a welding protrusion projecting toward the open end on the other side is formed, and a connecting portion formed with a welding protrusion is provided on a holding frame of the adsorption element.

Air cleaner and method of manufacturing the same

The air-cleaner includes a housing. The air-cleaner includes a filter element located in the housing to filter air taken into the housing. The air-cleaner includes an adsorption element for adsorbing vaporized fuel flowing into the housing. The housing includes first and second housing components having open ends put on each other. The filter element is held between the first and second housing components, separating the housing into a clean side and a dust side. The adsorption element includes a frame at the periphery; and an adsorption portion located inside the frame. One of the first and second housing components as the clean side has an inner side back in the open end, the inner side having a mounting portion having the adsorption element mounted thereto. The mounting portion includes the adsorption element; and a support member placed thereon.
