Title: Improvements in and relating to Carburetters for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: MCGUIRE THOMAS FRANCIS
IPC: F02M5/04
Filed: 1913-02-14
Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 3800. McGuire, T. F. Feb. 14, 1912, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors.- The invention relates to carburettors in which the fuel-nozzles are mounted at various heights upon a rotatable fuel - receptacle located in the air-passage so that the number of nozzles in action is varied by tilting the receptacle, and consists in connecting the nozzles to the fuel supply so that, as the receptacle is rotated in one direction, the nozzles are first brought into and then put out of action. Further, the n o z z l e s deliver fuel only when the engine is running. The carburettor consists of two approximately hemispherical portions 1, 2, Fig. 2, hinged at 3, the part 2 being of gauze through which the air enters. The parts are held together by a spring-clip 4. The fuel-receptacle 11 is mounted in bearings formed half in each of the parts 1,2, and is rotated manually by a lever in the slot 14. An enlarged portion 45 of the receptacle fits closely a flange 46 on the part 1, but a small opening 52 is provided which, in conjunction with a notch 53, Fig. 3, in the throttle valve 23, allows of sufficient mixture passing to keep the engine running slowly. The throttle valve is carried by a rod 20 which holds the parts 17, 18 of the fuel-receptacle together, is guided by a pin 25 and is pushed from its seat as the receptacle is rotated by a cam 27. With the exception of the uppermost nozzles 47<a>, the fuelnozzles 47 open into passages 49 formed in a thickened portion 48 of the upper half 18, and each passage 49 communicates with the fuel in the receptacle through pipes 50, the free ends 50<a> of which terminate at various distances below the fuel level f-f. With this arrangement, as the receptacle is tilted, each nozzle is brought sufficiently near the fuel level for fuel to be drawn from it by suction, and on further tilting, the nozzle, although below the fuel level, is cut off from the fuel supply owing to the free end 50<a> of its tube 50 being above the fuel level. The tubes 50 may be replaced by passages 54, Fig. 8, formed in the wall of the lower half 17<a> of the fuel receptacle. The supply of fuel is controlled by a float 30. With this form of apparatus, heavy impurities in the fuel, for instance water, are effectively separated.
