The present subject matter described herein relates to a novel design of a ventilation duct with a removable clamp having provision of multiple orientations. In particular, the present subject matter relates to a removable clamp for holding pipes, which can be placed inside a duct in multiple orientations or multiple positions.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Ventilation ducts are part of conduits or passages having multiple utilities like constant through-flow of fresh air that keeps the interior atmosphere pleasant even with all the windows shut. Further, ventilation duct is a part of conduit provided on fuel delivery piping system. These ventilation ducts are placed between the vehicle cabin and the outer vehicle body by providing a way for the piping system. A Clamp is provided inside the duct to hold fuel delivery pipe. Conventional ventilation duct has an integrated clamp inside the ventilation duct which makes only one orientation possible for the fuel pipe which causes difficulty in assembly of the ventilation duct and pipingFurther, another drawback with the conventional duct and clamp is that the single orientation leads to high length of pipeline as layout is constrained on position of clamp which leads to an excess length of the pipe and ultimately increases the cost.
[0003] Therefore there is a need to provide a ventilation duct having a removable clamp with multiple orientations or multiple positioning inside the duct. This removable type clamp can be used in multiple orientations by providing ease of overall assembly, reduction in length and also reduced cost of the pipe.

[0004] It forms an object of the present disclosure to overcome the aforementioned and other drawbacks/limitations.
[0005] It is another object of the present disclosure to provide the ventilation duct with a removable clamp having provisions of multiple orientations which leads to ease of overall assembly of pipe in the duct.

[0044] It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as "open" terms (e.g., the term "including" should be interpreted as "including but not limited to," the term "having" should be interpreted as "having at least," the term "includes" should be interpreted as "includes but is not limited to," etc.). It will be further understood by those skilled in the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation, no such intent is present. For

example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases "at least one" and "one or more" to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles "a" or "an" limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to disclosures containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases "one or more" or "at least one" and indefinite articles such as "a" or "an" (e.g., "a" and/or "an" should typically be interpreted to mean "at least one" or "one or more"); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. Also, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of "two recitations," without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to "at least one of A, B, and C, etc." is used, in general, such construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances, where a convention analogous to "at least one of A, B, or C, etc." is used, in general, such construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, or C" would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms or both terms. For example, the phrase "A or B" will be understood to include the possibilities of "A" or "B" or "A and B."

[0045] It will be further appreciated that functions or structures of a plurality of components or steps may be combined into a single component or step, or the functions or structures of one-step or component may be split among plural steps or components. The present disclosure contemplates all of these combinations. Unless stated otherwise, dimensions and geometries of the various structures depicted herein are not intended to be restrictive of the disclosure, and other dimensions or geometries are possible. Also, while a feature of the present disclosure may have been described in the context of only one of the illustrated embodiments, such feature may be combined with one or more other features of other embodiments, for any given application. It will also be appreciated from the above that the fabrication of the unique structures herein and the operation thereof also constitute methods in accordance with the present disclosure. The present disclosure also encompasses intermediate and end products resulting from the practice of the methods herein. The use of "comprising" or "including" also contemplates embodiments that "consist essentially of or "consist of the recited feature.
