I, WILHELM HILDEBRAND, of Auenstrasse 34, Munich in the Empire of
Germany, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to a gas producer for a rotary explosion motor.
The gas producer consists of two vessels, of which the smaller air vessel is
arranged in the larger gas vessel. The two vessels are of cylindrical form,
however the proportion of the length to the diameter is small, thus producing a
flat form especially favourable for cycles. Into the two vessels air is forced by
means of any suitable pump which is operated by the motor shaft and rocks upon a
hollow trunnion through which the air is driven into tubes leading, the one into the
air vessel, the other into the gas vessel where it blows upon the benzine or the like
in said gas chamber and vaporizes it.
The mixing valve is in connection with both vessels and allows of mixing so much
compressed air with the compressed gas mixture as is necessary at the time for the
use of the ignition lamp as well as of the motor. On the mixing-valve is arranged
a lever which serves for regulating the gas consumption. Both vessels are protected
by safety-valves against over pressure.

1, WILHELM HILDEBRAND, of 34 Auenstrasse, Munich, in the Empire of
Germany, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention 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 carburettor or gas producer for preparing the explosive
mixture of air and vaporized benzene or similar volatile hydrocarbon for use in gas
engines.
In the annexed drawing Fig. 1 is a longitudinal vertical section of the vaporizer
arranged on a cycle frame, and Fig. 2 is a cross section through the vaporizer
alone.
The gas producer consists of two vessels, of which the smaller air vessel L is
arranged within the larger gas vessel M. The two vessels are of cylindrical form;
however the proportion of the length to the diameter is small, thus producing a flat
form especially favorable for cycles. Into the two vessels air is forced by means of
any suitable pump, through which the air is driven into the tubes O and P leading

benzene or the like in said gas vessel and vaporises it.
The mixing valve Q is in connection with both vessels and allows of mixing so
much compressed air with the compressed gas mixture as is necessary at the time
for the use of the igniter as well as of the motor.
On the mixing valve Q is arranged a lever R which serves for regulating the
gas consumption. Both vessels are protected by safety valves against over
pressure.
The outer vessel carries the fixing clips S for its connection with the cycle
frame T.
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. The gas producer with its adjuncts constructed substantially as described and
illustrated.
2. The combination with a cycle frame of a gas producer with its adjuncts
attached to the same and constructed and arranged upon the frame substantially as
set forth and illustrated.
