Patent ID: 7789058

Claim:
A mixture distribution device for a combustion engine, comprising a first mixture inlet ( 3 ; 103 A, 103 B) for supplying an air/fuel mixture coming from a fuel metering device ( 2 ) thereto; multiple first mixture outlets ( 4 ; 104 ) for supplying the mixture supplied to the first mixture inlet to inlets of multiple engine cylinders; and a first branch guiding structure ( 6 ; 106 ) for guiding the mixture in downstream direction of the mixture from the first mixture inlet to the multiple first mixture outlets, wherein mutually different ones of the first mixture outlets are mutually different mouths of different, mutually branched first outlet channels ( 5 ; 105 ) of the first branch guiding structure; characterized by a second mixture distribution device ( 21 ; 121 A, 121 B), comprising a second mixture inlet ( 23 ; 123 A, 123 B) situated in an interior part of the first branch guiding structure 6 , which interior part is not yet thus branched in the downstream direction, such that the mixture supplied to the first mixture inlet is divided into a first fraction ( 7 ) and a second fraction ( 27 ) which is not collected and is collected, respectively, by the second mixture distribution device via the second mixture inlet; multiple second mixture outlets ( 24 ; 124 A, 124 B) opening into the interior of the first branch guiding structure, for supplying the collected second fraction ( 7 ) to the mutually different first outlet channels; and a second branch guiding structure ( 26 ; 126 A, 126 B) for guiding the collected second fraction ( 27 ) from the second mixture inlet to the multiple second mixture outlets, wherein mutually different second mixture outlets are mutually different second mouths of different mutually branched second outlet channels ( 25 ; 125 A, 125 B) of the second branch guiding structure.
