A rotary blower ( 26 ) of the Roots type, used as an engine supercharger, comprising a housing ( 50,52 ) including a forward wall portion ( 52 F) defining an inlet port ( 30 ) disposed toward the upper portion of the housing. Typically, the housing defines an outlet port ( 34 ) on the underside ( 54
A rotary blower ( 26 ) of the Roots type, used as an engine supercharger, comprising a housing ( 50,52 ) including a forward wall portion ( 52 F) defining an inlet port ( 30 ) disposed toward the upper portion of the housing. Typically, the housing defines an outlet port ( 34 ) on the underside ( 54 ) of the blower. Disposed within the housing is a pair of meshed, lobed rotors ( 28,29 ), with one of the rotors being driven by an input shaft ( 62 ). The blower includes a pair of timing gears ( 58,60 ) disposed adjacent the rearward end ( 52 R) of the housing. The housing includes an inlet duct ( 32 ) disposed above the input shaft ( 62 ) and extending forwardly and transversely (FIG. 2 ) from the housing, and having a duct opening ( 70 ) in open communication with the inlet port ( 30 ). The arrangement of the invention provides substantially improved air flow efficiency through the blower, which corresponds to improved horsepower output of the engine on which the rotary blower is being used.

1. A rotary blower of the backflow type comprising a housing, first and second meshed lobed rotors, each lobe having a leading end and a trailing end, said rotors being rotatably disposed in said housing for transferring relatively low pressure inlet port air to relatively high pressure outlet port
1. A rotary blower of the backflow type comprising a housing, first and second meshed lobed rotors, each lobe having a leading end and a trailing end, said rotors being rotatably disposed in said housing for transferring relatively low pressure inlet port air to relatively high pressure outlet port air; first and second meshed timing gears fixed to be non-rotatable relative to said first and second rotors, respectively, for preventing contact of said meshed lobes of said rotors; an input drive member adapted to transmit an input drive torque to said second rotor, said housing defining an inlet port and an outlet port; characterized by:(a) said housing having a rearward end and a forward end, adapted to be oriented toward the forward end of a vehicle engine compartment, said input drive member extending forwardly from said forward end of said housing;(b) said inlet port being disposed at said forward end of said housing adjacent said leading end of said rotors and being defined substantially by a forward end wall of said housing, and said inlet port being disposed above said input drive member; and(c) said housing including a duct portion in open fluid communication with said inlet port, said duct portion extending forwardly and defining a forward duct opening disposed above said input drive member. 2. A rotary blower as claimed in claim 1, characterized by said first and second timing gears being disposed at said rearward end of said housing and of said rotors. 3. A rotary blower as claimed in claim 2, characterized by said input drive member comprises an input shaft fixed to rotate with said second rotor, and including an input pulley fixed to be non-rotatable relative to said input shaft. 4. A rotary blower as claimed in claim 1, characterized by said outlet port being disposed on an underside of said housing, and being disposed toward said rearward end of said housing. 5. A rotary blower as claimed in claim 1, characterized by said input drive member including an input portion, adapted to receive said input drive torque, said input portion being disposed forwardly of said forward duct opening defined by said duct portion. 6. A rotary blower as claimed in claim 1, characterized by said duct portion extending both forwardly and transversely, whereby said forward duct opening is disposed substantially transversely from said input drive member.
