Abstract
An air induction structure is designed for an air cleaner on an automobile furnished with an engine compartment in its front body and a grille at its front end through which the engine compartment is open to the outside. The air induction structure includes an obstructing member, which is located in a position in which the obstructing member is across the substantially straight path connecting the opening of an air intake duct, connected to the air cleaner, and the part of the grille in the same vertical longitudinal planes, with respect to the automobile, as the opening of the air intake duct, so that the obstructing member prevents air, drawn into the engine compartment through the part of the grille, from travelling straight into the opening of the air intake duct.
