Definitions

  • This invention relates to carburetors such as used in connection with internal combustion engines or in other environments wherein the production of a highly combustible gas or vapor is required.
  • the invention contemplates the provision of a rotative hygroscopic element which is rotated by suctional air flow attained by engine operation; said element being saturated by liquid fuel and having a part disposed in the path of the air flow so that the inflowing air will pick up the fuel from the saturated part of the hygroscopic element.
  • the rotative element or so-called rotor is provided with blades or fins so that in addition to providing a fuel supply for mixture with the incoming air, it also constitutes a mixture agitator and assures thorough mim'ng of the fuel and the air.
  • Means are also provided on the rotor for constantly supplying the liquid fuel to the rotor.
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a carburetor constructed in accordance with the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view, with parts broken away to disclose construction
  • FIG. 3 shows the rotor
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view, taken substantially on the line 44, looking in the direction of the arrows;
  • FIG. 5 is an end view of the carburetor, as seen from the right of FIG. 1.
  • 1 indicates generally the body of the carburetor, the same being provided with a bowl 2, divided by a vertical partition or wall 3 into a float chamber 4 and an additional fuel chamber 5.
  • the float chamber 4 contains the conventional float 6 and needle valve 7, the latter being located in the inlet 8 through which the gasoline or other liquid fuel is supplied into the chambers 4 and 5 through piping 9 extending from a source of fuel supply.
  • the float regulates the amount of fuel in the chambers 4 and 5 in the known manner.
  • An aperture 16 is provided in the vertical partition 3 so that the fuel can flow into the fuel chamber 5 from the float chamber 4 to reach and be maintained at the same level as the fuel in the chamber 4.
  • the air passage and mixing chamber is indicated at 1-9, and the same is shown in simplified form, and without a venturi and other elements conventionally employed, in order to simplify the construction and clearly disclose the features of the present invention.
  • the air passage 10 is provided with a choke valve 11 and at the opposite end with a butterfly throttle valve 12.
  • a rotating element or rotor which, in the form shown, Consists of a cylindrical rod composed of a porous or hygroscopic material such as a suitable ceramic, said rotor being freely rotatable in a bearing or collar 14 fitted in a horizontal wall 15 within the fuel chamber 5.
  • the rotor 13 is provided at one end, or that which constitutes its top, with an enlarged head 17 which in the form shown is of mushroom shape, although it may be made in many other shapes and in various sizes.
  • the rotor head 17 has its perimeter provided With radially projecting blades, fins or vanes, which may be formed integrally, if desired, with the head 17.
  • the fins or blades, shown at 18, cause the rotative movement of the rotor by means of an air flow or stream created by the suction exerted through the air passage 10 by engine operation.
  • blades 21 which, when the rotor is in rotation, will cause the liquid fuel 24 in the chamber 5 to be forced up through an axial passage 23 provided in the rotor 13.
  • the passage 23 is closed at the top of the rotor below the mushroom head, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the described device is particularly useful for use inconnection with internal combustion engines, it can have many other uses where the production of a highly combustible gas or vapour is desired.
  • the rotor as being in the form of a cylindrical rod, the same may be made in many other shapes, such as in the form of a flat rotating disk, a cylinder, cone, globe or other shape.
  • the feature of the invention consists primarily in a rotated, fuel-impregnated element of highly hygroscopic material, and in the case of an internal combustion engine,
  • a carburetor In a carburetor, (l) a fuel chamber, (2) an air flow passage through which air is drawn by engine operation, (3) a rotatable liquid-absorbent element in the form of a rod composed of ceramic material extending between said fuel chamber and said air flow passage, said rod having a part disposed in the fuel chamber and submerged in the fuel contained therein and becoming saturated thereby, and also having a portion disposed in the path of air flow through said air flow.
  • a carburetor (1) a fuel chamber, (2) an air flow passage through which air is drawn by engine operation, (3) a rotatable hygroscopic rod composed of highly porous ceramic material extending between said fuel chamber and said air flow passage, said rod having a part Within said fuel chamber submerged in liquid fuel contained therein and a portion located within said air flow passage and in the path of air flow therein, and said rod being characterized by an axial passage extending therein and being open at the end of said rod within said fuel chamber, (4) fuel feeding elements carried by the part of said rod within said fuel chamber submerged in liquid fuel, the portion of said rod located within said air flow passage receiving a saturation of the fuel both by capillary attraction and by flow through said axial passage from said feeding elements upon said rod being rotated to cause a mixture of fuel vapor with the air drawn through said air flow passage, and (5) fins carried by the portion of said rod within said air flow passage whereby said rod is rotated by the air flow.
  • a carburetor in a carburetor, (l) a fuel chamber, (2) an air flow passage through which a suctional air flow is exerted by engine operation, (3) a rotatable porous rod having (i) a flared end disposed in liquid fuel in said fuel chamber, (ii) an axial passage open at the end of the rod disposed in liquid fuel and extending into the rod, and (iii) an enlarged head on its end remote from the flared end, this head being disposed in the path of air flow in said air flow passage, (4) external blades on the flared end of said rod for the agitation of fuel in said fuel cham ber upon said rod being rotated, (5) internal blades on the flared end of said rod for forcing fuel into the axial passage therein upon said rod being rotated and thereby causing impregnation of the porous rod by liquid fuel, including impregnation of the enlarged head end of said rod, and (6) peripheral fins on the enlarged head end of said rod within said air flow
