'CARBUREVTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 28, 1915.

Application filed February 9, 1915. Serial No. 7,054.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, THnoooRn O. XVINGER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Amery, in the county of Polk and State of \Visconsin, have invented a new and Improved Carbureter, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to apparatus for producing an explosive or combustible mixture of air and gasolene, or like fluid, hereinafter referred to'as gasolene, for use in internal combustion engines, and for other-purposes.

My invention is based on the fact that air will take up gasolene and like fluids and become thereby carbureted by contact with the gasolene either in passing over the surface thereof; over and against the surface of fibrous or absorbent material saturated with the gasolene, or by being discharged into a body of gasolene below the surface thereof.

Prime objects of my invention are to provide a device whereby effective contact with lit) the gasolene will be brought about, and to provided a device of the indicated character having provision for adjustment to vary the contact surface between .the air and gasolene or the period of contact whereby to vary the character of the mixture as to its richness.

A further object of the invention is to provide a structural embodiment of the in vention, of extremely simple form, which will have a-wide range of adjustment and which may. be adjusted with facility.

' Other objects and advantages of the invention. will appear from the more particular description following.

Reference is hr to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference in dicate corresponding parts in all the views, and in which:

Figure l is a side elevation of a carbureter embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section; and Fig. 3 is. a transverse vertical section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

In constructing a practical embodiment of my invention in accordance with the illustrated example, a reservoir 10 is provided of suitable content to give the desired capacity in a given case, said reservoir being adapted to contain a body of gasolene A, or similar fluid. An air inlet pipe 11 leads into the reservoir 10 at OIlBl side and extends as at 11 transversely of the reservoir, to and through the opposite side as shown-in Fig.

of the inlet pipe. The reservoir 10 has an outlet 15 for carbureted air and the deflector 14: is arranged to direct the air into contact with the body of gasolene A between the inlet 11 and the said outlet. The deflector is widened from the inlet toward the outlet,

which may be effected by flaringlthe upper and lower walls thereof, as shown best in Fig. 4, and in order to vary the effective area of the outlet the deflector 14 is adapted to be regulated, by means hereinafter described, to cause itsj outlet end to beaimmersed to a greater or less extent below the surface of the gasolene A, thereby varying the outlet passage for the air between the surface of the gasolene and the upper wall of the deflector.

Preferably I provide .in the deflector 14: adjacent to its outlet end a screen 16 which may consist of a mass of fabric, or the like, or fibrous material sufliciently absorbent to take up the gasolene by capillary action when the lower portion of the screen material is immersed.

The means for maintaining the rockable deflector 14 at different inclinations to the surface of the gasolene may consist of the following devices: At one end the deflector is formed, as shown in Fig. 3, with a tubular extension or sleeve 14 fitting the projecting terminal of the branch 11 on the inlet pipe inward from the cap 12. On said sleeve 14* is securedan arm 17 which is formed with a collar 18 surrounding the sleeve and detachably secured to the latter by a set screw 19, or the like. Thearm 17 has a sliding weight 20 having a set'screw 21 to hold it in ad usted position on the said arm 17 By the described construction the leverage of the weighted arm may be increased or decreased to counter-balance the deflector H at any given inclination, as will readily be understood.

The deflector 14 may have a float chamber 22 at the outlet end at the underside whereby to give the deflector more or less buoyancy when the lower end is submerged, and there- Copies of this patent may be obtained for by assist in facilitating the counterbalancing of the deflector at a given angle.

With my improved carbureter it will be seen that the richness of the mixture will, to-

some extent, depend on the size of the reservoir and thus on the distance between the deflector 1% and the outlet end of the reservoir, but the richness of the mixture may be 'very effectively regulated by varying the submergence of the outlet end and its screen 16. Thus a particular mixture tO SUIt rev quired conditions may be produced according to the intended use of the mixture for internal combustion engines or other pur-- poses.

Having thus described my invent1on,-What I claim as new and desire to secure byLet tors Patent, is:

A carbureter coinprisinga reservo r hav- -member of'the air inlet pipe, and having an outlet near its lower end, and a variable "counter-balance arm on the said deflector outside the reservoir serving to counterbalance the deflector at various inclinations.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specificatlon 1n the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

THEODORE o. WINGER.
