T 0 (LZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN WILLIAM PHIL- LIPS, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Hendon, Middlesex, England, have invented certain new and'useful Improvements in Apparatus for Enabling Internal-Combustion Engines to be Readily Started, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to construct in an improved manner an apparatus of the kind which is afiixable to the induction pipe of an internal combustion engine. whereby a primary charge of petrol in spray v form and air can be drawn from a supplementary reservoir into the cylinder thereby enabling the engine to be readily started especially while cold, the apparatus also being applicable for allowing of a further supply of air entering the induction pipe during ordinary running of the engine.
F or the purpose of the invention the apparatus is constructed with a reservoir or container for petrol or the like and from this reservoir (from near the bottom) a small tube is led one end of which is positioned in an outlet nozzle.
Surrounding the outlet end of the small tube is an air passage with a branch leading into the reservoir, said air passage also leading to an inlet controlled by a screw or other valve, the air passage at the junction of or between the reservoir branch and the valve controlled inlet being provided with a plug or other valve to close the air passage entirely, or to open the air passage and branch to the reservoir, or to open the air the petrol carrier or reservoir removed.
In this case I position the passages and the screw valve and one portion of the small tube in the plug itself.
As will be seen from Fig. 1 I screw the reservoir A to a block L having an exteriorly screw threaded nozzle M by which the appliance can be attached to the induction pipe of the system and I form such block L with a cone shaped hole leading to the screw threaded nozzle M and in this hole I fit a correspondingly shaped plug K, which has the air passage D and the nozzle C and a branch E corresponding with the branch E leading to the reservoir such plug also having a hole B corresponding with a hole B in the block L and connected with a pipe B at one end, the hole B in the plug K being in connection with a portion of the pipe B leading to the nozzle 0.
The plug K is also provided with the air passage H open at one end J to the nozzle M, and theair passage II can coincide with an outlet I in the block L to the atmosphere, and the passage D also has the aperture F controlled by a screw G, a handle or other device I being attached to the plug K so that it can be turned.
P is a filter gauze cup on the end of the pipe B.
The apparatus is entirely independent of the ordinary carburetor except for a small amount of air that may be drawnv through the throttle and is used as an auxiliary there to for starting the engine.
' I fill the reservoir A with petrol or the like and when required for use, for starting an engine while cold, I turn on the plug K as shown in Fig. 1 to open up the air supply and the reservoir and with the auxiliary air supply through H shut oil and as usual revacuum in the cylinders, and induction pipe.
In consequence of the fall in pressure in the induction pipe, the exterior atmosphere exerts a pressure on the surface of the fuel in the reservoir and forces it up the tube B to the orifice in the nozzle C, and the petrol as it passes out. of the small tube gets sprayed and enters with the air into the cyl-' inders and forms the combustible charge which gets firedby the sparking plug in the usual manner and so soon as the engine is properly started I turn off the tap to close the passages to the tube B and branch E and also to close the opening I and then open up the carbureter for working in the usual manner.
The screw valve G for controlling the ad-- mission of air is operated to control'the air according to the construction of engine and after once having been fixed need not be again altered.
\Vhen it is desired to position the plug so that an auxiliary supply of air can be supplied to .the induction pipe during ordinary working, the plug is turned toopen up the inlet I with the end J the air branch E and tube B to the reservoir are closed, and in consequence no petrol from the auxiliary reservoir is used, air only being passed through to the induction pipe.
The plug K and if necessary the regulating screw G can be connected by Bowden wire or the like to the dash or other part of a motor vehicle, or to a room to be operated therefrom. The auxiliary reservoir I purpose making large enough to contain petrol sufiicient to last for say twenty-five startings.
What I claim is The improved construction of apparatus for enabling internal combustion engines to copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the be readily started, consisting of a block or carrier having a nozzle by Which it can be attached to the induction pipe, a petrol reservoir or container attached to said carrier, a pipe or passageway leading from near the bottom of the petrol reservoir to the nozzle end of the carrier, an air passage leading from the nozzle end of the carrier and surrounding a portion of the petrol pipe andhaving branches leading to the petrol reservoir and the atmosphere, a valve controlling thebranch to the atmosphere and an auxiliary air passage between the atmosphere and the nozzle, the whole being constructed and arranged so that the petrol -reservoir can be opened to or cut oil from the induction pipe, and when reqrired air only can be admitted into the induction pipe through the apparatus.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
JOHN WILLIAM PHILLIPS.
