Abstract: 28,001. Adams, A. H. Dec. 8. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-In a spray carburettor having a supplementary air passage controlled by an automatic hinged valve, the crosssectional area of the air passage around the nozzle is progressively reduced as the supplementary airvalve is opened wider by the engine suction. At low engine speeds, the air drawn in at b passes through the cylindrical valve r, and is guided past the nozzle by the baffle u and the vane d. At higher speeds, part of the air passes through the hinged valve f which is normally held to its seat by an adjustable spiral spring j. An extension o on the hinged valve, carrying rollers n, bears on a cam-surface on the vane d, so that the latter turns about its pivot at p when the valve f is opened. The lower air passage is reduced at a greater rate than that at which the upper passage is opened by the increased suction at higher speeds. The pivot p is made adjustable by mounting it eccentrically on a shaft q. A relief valve 3 prevents damage from back-firing.
