Title: Improvements in carburettors
IPC: F02M1/00
Filed: 1920-06-30
Abstract: 145,648. Friz, M. June 27, 1917, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors. -A carburettor for aeroplane engines with large cylinder volume and high compression comprises several separate carburetting- chambers one of which is in use at ground level and low altitudes, the others being brought into action by a device sensitive to air pressure as the aeroplane ascends. The carburettor shown in Fig. 1 has three carburetting-chambers I, II, III, the centre chamber I being for use at ground level and low altitude, and provided with a hand-actuated throttle valve a, the side chambers II, III having hand-actuated throttles d, e loaded by springs h and air-pressure regulated throttles b, c actuated bv a barometric device through a rod g and being brought into action at the higher altitudes. At any altitude, the rod g may be moved manually to open the valves b, c beyond that position given by the barometric control to obtain increased power for a short period. The throttle a is actuated by a rod f slotted portions in which engage also the levers of the throttle valves d, e. The lever actuating the valve a is twice as long as those actuating the valves d, e, so that although the valve a, owing to the slots in rod f is half open before the valves d, e begin to move, all three valves reach the fully-open position at the same instant. The throttles b, c may be notched at their edges to permit of the nozzles of these chambers being in action before they are actually required. An additional slow-running carburetting-chamber may be provided. According to the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) the throttle valves b, care intended to be actuated by an altitude indicator r, Fig. 6, (Cancelled), sensitive to atmospheric pressure changes. For this purpose the actuating-rod g of the throttles b, c passes through a bolt h, Figs. 6 and 7 (Cancelled), on a lever l mounted, so as to be capable of rotation without sliding, in a bracket p, Fig. 6 (Cancelled), a rod q attached to the sensitive device r passing through lever and bracket and provided within the lever with a self-locking screw-threaded portion. The rod g is extended beyond the lever l as shown in Fig. 7 (Cancelled), and is fitted with two plates m, n kept apart by a spring o. The indicator r therefore actuates the valves b, c directly so as to open them with increasing altitude. At any particular altitude, however, the pilot, to obtain a temporary increase of power, may move the rod g through a distance x, Fig. 7 (Cancelled), i.e. until plates m, n touch to give an additional opening to the valves. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
