Improvements in and connected with Ignition-apparatus for
Explosion-motors.
I, GOTTLIEB DAIMLER, of Cannstatt, in the Kingdom of Wurttemberg, in the
German Empire, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The present invention relates to ignition apparatus for motors worked by com-
bustible gas or by combustible liquid and is designed to provide an apparatus
obviating the great inconvenience heretofore experienced in said motors through
the liability of the operative parts of the ignition device, having the motion thereof
arrested by the deposition of products of combustion, so that the ignition of the
combustible gas mixture is prevented.
The object of my invention is an electric ignition apparatus igniting instan-
taneously the whole gas mixture contained within the combustion chamber thereby
attaining especially in quickly running motors the highest degree of efficiency.
My invention consists of arranging the ignition apparatus proper outside the
combustion chamber instead of inside the same. The apparatus is enclosed within
a chamber connected to the main combustion chamber by means of a small passage.
In order to render my invention more clear, I beg to refer to the accompanying
drawing, in which a vertical section through the combustion chamber of a motor
provided with my ignition device is represented.
A is the main combustion chamber of a motor containing the mixed gases.
This chamber A is on its top provided with an inlet valve V and an outlet valve P.
To the main combustion chamber A is connected by means of a small passage (
an auxiliary chamber B, in which the ignition takes place. Within this cham-
ber B is arranged the electric ignition apparatus D), which is operated in the known
manner.
Supposing the chamber A is filled with mixed gases a small quantity of this
compressed mixture will pass through the passage C and enter the ignition-
chamber B.
When now the ignition of the compressed gases within the chamber B takes
place, the ignited gas is expelled and reenters the burning chamber with a strong
force thereby igniting instantaneously the whole gas contained within this
chamber.

page_text: in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The present invention relates to ignition-apparatus for motors worked by com-
bustible gas or by combustible liquid and is designed to provide an apparatus
obviating the great inconvenience heretofore experienced in said motors through
the liability of the operative parts of the ignition device having the motion thereof

taneously the whole gas mixture contained within the combustion chamber thereby

My invention consists of arranging the ignition apparatus proper outside the
combustion chamber instead of inside the same. The apparatus is enclosed within
a chamber connected to the main combustion chamber by means of a small passage.
In order to render my invention more clear, I beg to refer to the drawings filed
with the Provisional Specification, in which a vertical section through the com-
bustion chamber of a motor provided with my ignition device is represented.
A is the main combustion chamber of a motor containing the mixed gases.
This chamber A is on its top provided with an inlet valve V and an outlet valve P.
To the main combustion chamber A. is connected by means of a small passage C
an auxiliary chamber. B, in which the ignition takes place. Within this cham-
ber B is arranged the electric ignition apparatus D), which is operated in the known
manner.
Supposing the chamber A is filled with mixed gases a small quantity of this
compressed mixture will pass through the passage C and enter the ignition-
chamber B.
When now the ignition of the compressed gases within the chamber B takes
place, the ignited gas is expelled and reenters the burning chamber with a strong
force thereby igniting instantaneously the whole gas contained within this
chamber.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. In explosion motors, the combination of a main burning or combustion
chamber, with an ignition-apparatus arranged besides the main burning chamber,
a small passage connecting both chambers, for the purpose as described.
2. In explosion motors, the combination of a main burning chamber A pro-
vided with in- and outlet-valves, with an auxiliary chamber B, an electric ignition
apparatus D arranged within the chamber B and a small passage C connecting
the ignition-chamber to the main burning chamber, substantially as described.
