Title: Improvements in Carburettors more especially for use with Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BREWER ROBERT WELLESLEY ANTONY
IPC: F02M21/00
Filed: 1912-11-07
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 6590. Brewer, R. W. A, and Jones, G. H. Nov. 7, 1912. Spray carburettors.-In order to obtain at all times a correctly-proportioned mixture a fuel nozzle of variable outlet area is constructed so that, for a given pressure, the quantity of fuel flowing shall be a predetermined amount per unit of area, whatever be the size of the orifice, and so that, for variable pressures, the quantity of fuel flowing shall be a predetermined amount proportional to the square root of the pressure. This result is obtained by the use of a grooved spindle M working in a fuel-nozzle G, the tapering grooves L being so designed that the wetted surface of the resulting passages between the valve and the interior of the nozzle, and hence the frictional resistance to the flow of the fuel, bears, in all positions of the spindle, the correct proportion to the outlet area to obtain the desired result. The grooves L are preferably of segmental circular sections, to simplify the necessary calculations of their dimensions, an example of which is given. The fuel-spindle is connected to a suctionoperated air-inlet valve E by the variable-leverage mechanism described in Specification 20,495/12 so as to be operated by it, there being also a lever c for operating the valve E by hand when desired. The tubular stem F of the air-valve contains a conical choke tube J, co-operating with the fuel-nozzle G, which is recessed as shown on its outer surface to allow a more gradual slant of the choke tube. The rich vapour accumulating in the tubular passage above the nozzle owing to abnormal engine suction increases the vapour pressure at that point and so tends to deminish the flow of fuel.

Abstract: 27,016. Kruse, J. A. Nov. 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Tappet-aciuated pumps; stroke, varying.-The fuel supply of an internal-combustion engine is controlled by a hit-and-miss governor adapted to impart long or short strokes to the fuel-pump plunger. For this purpose, the tappet member operating the pump plunger 5 is provided with two impact-surfaces 8, 9, the positions of which are so adjusted that, when the governor 10 acts upon the lower surface 8, the fuel-pump delivers the quantity of fuel required for normal-load running, but when the other surface 9 is acted upon, the pump delivers a quantity of fuel less than that necessary for accelerating the engine when running light or at the smallest load encountered, but sufficient to prevent cooling of the working chamber of the engine by the scavenging-air introduced into this chamber. A catch 16 engaging with a projection 15 on the governor, prevents the governor from jumping out of contact with the upper surface 9, so that the pump is invariably operated by one or other of the contact-surfaces. The positions of the impact-surfaces 8, 9 relatively to the governor are adjusted by means of a screw head 14, which serves to adjust the axial position of both contactsurfaces, and by a threaded socket 12, which serves to adjust the position of the contact-surface 8 relatively to the surface 9. The mechanism can thus be adjusted either for full and light load running of the engine, or for full and intermediate load running.

Filed: 1915-01-20
Abstract: 928. Cloud, J. W. Jan. 20. Fluid-pressur.-To enable emergency as well as ordinary applications of the brakes to be effected with the simple form of triple valve in which the slide valve has only one range of motion and controls only one set of ports, the auxiliary reservoir is supplemented by another reservoir the supply from which to the brake cylinder through the triple valve is controlled by a valve device dependent for its operation upon a large fall of pressure in the auxiliary reservoir such as would occur in an emergency application. The auxiliary reservoir 3 and the supplementary reservoir 5 are connected by a valve device comprising a spring- pressed piston 8 containing a non-return valve 14, by means of which the supplementary reservoir 5 is charged at the same time as the rest of the system. For ordinary service applications of the brakes, air passes as usual from the auxiliary reservoir 3 through the slide-valve chamber of the triple valve 1 to the brake cylinder 2. If the fall of pressure above the piston 8 of the valve device is great, the air in the supplementary reservoir 5 forces up the piston and escapes through a port 16, to the triple valve and brake cylinder. In a modification, the rise of the piston 8 to bring into action the supplementary reservoir is caused by an abnormal rise of brake-cylinder pressure.
