- FUEL-FEEDING APPATUS.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EUGENE A. lltro'r'rn, a
citizen of the United States of America, re- I feeding device for engines of the oil burn} ing or high compression type in which a charge of fuel is forced into the cylinder at the proper period and usually at a time when the air compression in the cylinder 1s at approximately its highest point,
The object of my inventionis to provide a simple and efiective device or apparatus for performing this function.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 isa vertical sectional view of the upper part of an engine cylinder equipped; w1th my fuel feeding apparatus. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view illustrating certain parts in a diflerent position. I I
It should be understood that the drawings are merely illustrative and do not pretend to give exact proportions. Furthermore the said drawings are illustrative of a preferred construction, it being my expectation that various changes and modifications. may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention.
In that form of the invention shown herein, 1 represents the upper part of an ordinary water jacketed cylinder.
2 represents a piston therein which may be connected in the usual mannerv with the crank shaft, not shown.
3 represents the usual waterjacketed cylinder head. i
4 represents an intake *valve by which air may be admitted to the cylinder to be com.- pressed by the piston ready to receive a charge of fuel.
5 represents a plug which is insertible into a bore in the cylinder head 3 and is made gas tight, as by providing a packing or a ground joint at the lower end which may be ta-. pered, asshown, if desired. The plug 5 may be held in place by any suitable means, such as by bolts 6 6. v
7- is, a fuel feeding piston in the form of a plunger slidable longitudinally in a bore in the plug 5. This piston may have packing rings 8, if desired. The bore in which the piston 7 is lo ated is contra ted at its lower Specification of Letters Patent.

plug 5. This last mentioned bore opens in lf'.
the first mentioned bore approximately at" the point 12, which, as shown, is just below the lower end of the fuel feeding piston 7 when the latter'is elevated whereby fuel can be fed into the space below thepiston 7 at such a time. J V I 14 is a check valve in the fuel supply pas-. sage. The fuel supply'passage is preferably controllable so as to control the amount of fuel that is fed to the space piston 7. v
In-the drawings, I have shown a'needle underneath the valve 15'which is manually adjustable for 7 the purpose of. varying the amount of fuel in each charge. The fuel feeding piston 7 ,is operated from the engine in any desirable, A
way so as to feed fuel at the proper time in the cycle of operation thereof. In the particular form shown, the fuel feeding piston 7 is moved by a suitable cam 16 thrbugh'the medium of an arm 17, although any other well known means may be substituted. The
valve 4 may be normally closed by a spring 18. In the fuel pipe line 11 there may be provided any desired means for assisting in the feed of the fuel, such a means being illustrated conventionally at 19. Insome instances, and with some kinds of fuel, gravity alone will suflice, in which event the mezlgns 19 may be assumed to be a gravity tan to assist in the closing-of the check valve 14. Any. suitable means may be provided to retract the fuel feeding'piston, but for thepurposes of illustration, 1 have shown a retracting spring 21 which may be secured-at one end to any suitable abutment, and at the other end to the lever 17.
.Operation: In the particular position in- 2'0 is a light spring that may beprovided 7 dicated in the drawings, Fig. 1, the power 1 piston Zisv located in approximately. its highestposition, wherein-the air contained in the cylinder above the piston is at approximately its highest pressure. Obviously, the
pressure in the chamber underneath the fuel feeding piston 7 will, at such time,'be only slightly less, if any, than the air pressure in the working cylinder. Hence, when the fuel feeding piston 7 descends, it will increase /the relative air pressure therein and force any fuel that may be contained in said space der has been scavenged,-that is to say, when theburnt gases have been a new charge of pure air is being drawn-in into the working cylinder, fuel from the tank 10 will .flow past the valve and .check Valve 14 into the space underneath the fuel feeding piston, for at such a time discharged, and
the parts are so arranged that said fuel feeding piston will stand elevated or in the position shown in Fig. 1. When the working piston '2 hasascended tothe proper degreet the cam-16 will be called into "action and will cause the fuel feeding plunger 7 to again descend and force such fuel (mixed with air) as may be contained in the'chamber directly underneath the fuel feedingjpiston 7'into the combustion chamber through passage 9. The fuel feeding piston 7 will then ascend to the position shown in Fig. 1 until it is desired to again inject a new charge. In Fig. 1 the cam 16 is shown conventionallyand in approximately a position ready to force the a direction to inject. fuel.
In Fig. 2 I have shown the fuel feeding piston 7 in approximately its lowermost position in which there is very little clearance,
fuel feeding piston in although this of course maybe varied as varying conditions require.
