PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Gasifying Contrivance for Petroleum Motors.
I, CHARLES HUELSER of the firm of Huelser & Co. of Temple Chambers,.
London, International Patent Agency, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion, a communication to me from abroad by the firm of I. M. Grob & Co., of
Leipzig-Entritzsch, in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturers, to be as follows:
:-
The object of this invention is a gasifying device for petroleum motors, in which
the petroleum is not gasified in the hot cylinder and in an evaporating chamber
communicating therewith, but in the igniting tube. The cylinder sides are kept
perfectly cool. This arrangement is intended to produce great certainty of ignition.
and simplification of the working.
The cooled cylinder is in communication with the known igniting tube heated
by a lamp and terminating in a widened portion, which is closed by a screw. Into
the igniting tube terminates a narrow tube through which a certain quantity of
petroleum is injected by means of a pump or other measuring contrivance during
the suction period or shortly before the same. This petroleum is instantaneously
gasified by its contact with the hot igniting tube and enters the cylinder simul-
taneously with the atmospheric air admitted through a valve into the latter. On
the return stroke of the piston the combustible mixture is compressed and caused
to enter into the igniting tube, in which it is ignited. By means of the screw
mentioned above, the widened portion of the igniting tube is so adjusted in size,
that the combustible-mixture-reaches the-igniting tube-and-is-ignited exactly in
the dead point position. The igniting tube, in contradistinction to the known
arrangements, is provided at the place where the least ignitible mixture occurs,.
which by the compression is forced into the widened portion of the igniting tube.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Gasifying Contrivance for Petroleum Motors.
I, CHARLES HUELSER, of the firm of Huelser & Co. of Temple Chambers:
London, International Patent Agency do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion, a communication to me from abroad by the firm of 1. M. Grob & Co. of
Leipzig-Entritzsch, in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:--
This invention relates to a gasifying device for petroleum motors, in which the
gasification of the petroleum is not effected in the hot cylinder and in an evaporating.
chamber communicating therewith, but in the igniting tube. The sides of the
cylinder are kept perfectly cool. This arrangement is intended to produce great.
certainty of ignition while simultaneously a simplification in the working is.
attained.
Reference being had to the drawing hereunto annexed which illustrates the-
improved device in section.
The cooled cylinder a is in communication with the known igniting tube b heated
by a lamp c and terminating in a widened portion closed by screw f. From tube d
a certain quantity of petroleum is injected during the suction period or shortly
before into the igniting tube by means of a pump or other measuring contrivance..
[Priced

page_text: This petroleum evaporates instantaneously by its contact with the hot igniting tube
and enters the cylinder d at the same time with the atmospheric air admitted
through valve g. On the return of the piston the combustible mixture is com-
pressed and forced into the igniting tube b, in which it is inflamed. By means of
screw, the hollow space e is so adjusted in size that the combustible mixture
reaches the igniting tube and is inflamed exactly in the dead point position..
As may be seen from the description and illustration, the igniting tube, in
contradistinction to the known arrangements, is disposed at the place, where the
mixture, that is the least inflammable, occurs; this mixture, by the compression, is
forced into the hollow space e'.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1.) In petroleum motors working in four-time measure, the arrangement-by
which the petroleum is injected into the igniting tube & communicating with the
cooled cylinder a i.e. with the combustion chamber and is gasified in said igniting
tube, substantially as set forth.
2.) In the device forming the subject of Claim 1, the arrangement by which a
hollow space e communicating with the igniting tube serving as evaporator
can be increased or reduced for determining the igniting period, substantially as
set forth.
