Abstract
The present invention provides an intake apparatus which ensures the collision safety by having sufficient clearance margin to the engine hood by utilizing the space around the intake manifold which is not conventionally utilized, while achieving cost reduction by reduction in parts count and assembling time. The third membercovers the first memberin which the first roomis formed and the second memberin which the second roomis formed. The third roomwhich is formed in the third memberconnects the first roomand the second room. With this structure, the second roomcan be disposed adjacent to the first roomat almost the same height. Consequently, the height of the intake apparatus can be lowered, and the clearance between the intake apparatus and the engine hood can be enlarged. In addition, the intake air amount can be increased.
