W'ALTER L. MARE, OF FLINT, MICHIGAN.

GARBURETER.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Varxrnu L. Mann, a citizen of the United States of ."\.merica, residing at Flint, in the county of Genesec and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CarijHllQtGl'S, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accon'ipanying drawings.

In the construction of carburetors it is desirable that the parts he so disposed as to reduce possibility of leakage in the float chamber and to also check the operation of the valves to prevent battering under the rapid action to: which they are subjected when connected with motors running at high speed. It is also desirable that the parts be accessible for ready inspection, repair or replacement.

This invention relates to a carburetor and to a construction thereof that reduces liability to leakage and cushions the action of the air valve together with an arrangement of the parts which reduces the cost of manufacture and also permits easy renewal or repair of the parts, if necessary.

leakage.

The invention consists in the matters hereinafter set forth and pointed out in the appended claims.

The drawing is a View, partially in elevation and partially in longitudinal section, of one form of carburetor that embodies features of the invention.

Referring to the drawing, a casing 1 has a depending tapered hollow portion 2 that terminates in a nipple 3. A jet opening t in the upper end of the nipple 3 is controlled by a needle valveclosure 5 screwthrcaded into the nipple 3 in the usual manner with suitable stutling box or gland 6 to avoid An inverted flared or conical vaporizing tube 7 has an upper rim flange 8 seated and "secured on a corresponding flange 9 of thecasing and a lower beveled flange 10 disposed concentrically to the opening 4; around the upper end of the nippie 3. An air inlet opening 11 is in communication with the interior of the casing through the annular passage arounch the nipple 3 and through the vaporizing tube 7. An outlet passage or opening in the upper part of the casing is controlled by a throttle "alve 12, preferably of the butterfly type, that is operated by a lever 12., or the like. An auxiliary air valve casing 1 1 is removably secured in an opening in the wall of the Specification of Letters l atent. Application filed March 15, 1913. Serial No. 754,544.

casing 1. An annular valve seat 15 in the upper end thereof is controlled by a closure 16 mounted on a stem 17, reciprocable in the guide opening of a boss 18 of a dash pot cylinder 19 that is adjustably secured in the casing 14:. .The upper end face of the boss 18 acts as a stop to limit the downward movement of the closure 16 so that the latter correspondingly restricts passage of air through lateral openings in the casing 14:

into the main casing 1 between the closureand valve seat 15. A disk 20 secured on the lower end of the stem 17 reciprocates in the dash pot cylinder 19, the latter being closed by a cap 21.

As a matter of good shop practice the dash pot is screwed into the casing 14 and is held in adjusted position by a screw 22 that draws together the slotted wall of the casing 1 1.

A float feed chamber 30 is removably secured on the nipple 3, preferably against a flange 23 on the latter by means of a collar 24:, suitable packing 25 being used to insure a tight joint, while the upper rim 26 is seated against the body of the casing. A suitably disposed float 27 in the chamber is arranged-to operate a fuel inlet valve that is housed in a boss 28 at one side of and integral with the float chamber. The float and supply valve do not form 7.01- 86 a part of this invention. Suitable openings 29 afford communication between the interior of thefloat chamber and the jet opening 4'.

In operation, under slow speed of motor, the air enters the using and is drawn up through the vaporizing tube around the jet opening in such way as to become thoroughly impregnated with the fuel vapor and have the required richness for starting or slow speed purposes. As the motor to which the carburetor is attached, picks up, the auxiliary air valve automatically admits the proper proportion of hir to reduce the mixture to ordinary running proportions. The auxiliary valve is readily regulated to close more or less completely, and the dash pot prevents any battering of the closure or seat. The joint between the float chamber and main casing is above the normal level of liquid in the carburetor chamber, thereby lessening the liability to leakage. All the parts are so disposed that the carburetor may be easily dismounted for inspection or repair.

Obviously, changes, in the details of construction may be made without departing flro i "he s; lit of my love; Jon and l do not iyseli to 5.4. particular form nt of parts.
