Abstract
In an intake system for an internal combustion engine having a cylinder head with at least one inlet duct per cylinder, an essentially flat control flap is supported in the inlet duct on a pivot shaft pivotally about an axis which is disposed in spaced relationship upstream from the control flap by way of side support arms such that, in an open position, the control flap rests against a wall portion of the inlet duct from where it can be swiveled into the intake duct into a flow directing turbulence generating position.
