Granted: 1910-05-18
Abstract: 11,742. Jouffret, H. V. J., and RenÚe, J. M. May 18. Spray carburettors.-In carburettors with two spraying-nozzles, the secondary nozzle is higher than the primary nozzle, is formed as an easily detachable unit, and opens into a gas-tight chamber provided with a spring-loaded automatic air-inlet valve. The secondary nozzle d', Fig. 3, opens into a chamber h, provided with an automatic air valve i, and an outlet pipe e leading to the engine induction pipe. As a modification, the secondary nozzle may be mounted at the centre of the float chamber, thus obviating the effects of tilting of the apparatus. In the carburettor shown in Fig. 10, suitable for cars, aeroplanes, &c., the secondary nozzle d is formed in a central column d<11> in the float chamber f The nozzle discharges into a chamber l<1> provided with an inlet d<1> for air admitted by a valve i<1>, and an outlet l leading to the interior e<4> of a throttle valve c formed by two plates attached to a circular plate c<1>. To bring the secondary nozzle into action, the throttle is slid back by rotating a screwed cap c<3>, which may be locked in position. This leaves a crescent-shaped opening, through which the interior of the throttle communicates with the induction pipe b. Control of the air passing the primary nozzle a is effected as usual by rotating the throttle through an adjustable handle c<6>. The main air passages b, b<1> and the top f‹ of the float chamber are formed in one, as are also the float chamber f and the primary nozzle a. These two portions are held together by a nut l screwing on to the column d<11> and pressing on a plate m, which also secures the plug h<2> and fuel-inlet pipe j. In a modification suitable for motor-bicycles, the secondary nozzle is again formed in the floatchamber cover, and the parts are held together by a nut engaging a screw attached to the lower end of the main air passage. Both modes of connexion permit the carburettors to be readily dismantled and put together. Specification 6656/07, is referred to.
