To @ZZ whom z't may concern:v y

Be it known that I, JOHN J. KARTHEISER,

la citizen ofthe United `States, and a resi-y dent of Chicago, iii the county of Coolr and State of Illinois, ,have invented a certain new and useful Improvementin Carbureters, of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to carbureters.

lThe primary object of the invention is to provide a carbureter vconstructed y'and arf ranged for properly lproportionin'g the quantities of 'air-and hydrocarbonsupplied i to'the carbureter toproduce practically a uniform explosive mixture .of high efiiciency under allconditionsv of Vhydrocarbon feed, for which the carbureteris designed and adapted; and' to provideeilfeetive means for thoroughly breaking up or vaporizing the hydrocarbon and for thoroughly mixing the liydrocarbon'vapor and air.

A further object of. the. invention. is to provide, in connection with the carbureter aie line 2 2 of rig. 4.

. My improved carburetor is of the multiple jet type, comprising a plurality vof separate.y

nozzles and lcorresponding air admission openings, so arranged 'and controlled that they maybe brought successivelyy into com` munieation with the mixing chamber A". As shown, there are five separate nozzles designated, respectively, 2, 3, 4,5 and 6 located in separate'air admission passageways 2', 3', Land 6'." H- drocarbon is supplied to y passageways? formed in a .fitting 8 'whic assliown., is removably secured to the lower oat reservoir A through v v l y end' of the body portionV ofthe carbureter, y

said fitting being skeletoned to permit air to pass the same freely land enter the air admission passagevvays 2,'3, 4f, 5 and 6.

As .compared with hydrocarbon suipply my nozzles heretofore used, the nozzles o vimproved carbureter. are characterized the feature that the jet orifices thereof relatively much smaller, which inscombination. with the sepa-'rate -air admissioiipasare'.

A spring 13 which :con-1 nect's the 'outer end of the: lever 11 with a fixed part of thecilrbpreter casing -will oper; ate to impartppvotal' movement to the lever `11 inga direction to open the valve 9.

Theshutter valves 28 and 26 and the pinions 34 and-37 are secured. to ro?.

tate with their respective shafts, as by pins l 38, .while the pinions 35 and 36 are -mounted to turn freely on their shafts and are se curedto rotate with the shutter valves 24 and 25, mounted on said shafts, respectvel.

With the'described construction it iso vious that oscillation of the stub 'shaft 27 will o erate to impart pivotal movement to *the va ves of each pair of shutter valves 234 and'24, and 25 and 26, toward 'and from each other.

The airx passageway 2 communicates with the mixing chamber at a point directly beneath the meeting edges of the shutter valves 25 and 26, when' said valves are closed, whereby the initialmovement of said shutter `valves 1n opening will uncover said passagevway 2 so that the suction'of tlie 'motor will operato, to draw a mixture of vhydrocarbon vapor and of air into the mixing chamber I from Said air admission passageway and the .nozzle 2 klocated therein. As shown, also, the passageways .3", 4', 5 and 6 communicate ,with the mixing chamber A at pointson .o posite sides of said mixing chamber anda ut e ual distances from the meeting edges t ofthe s utter valves 25 and 26 when closed, said passageways being arranged two onl Noach' side of said mixlng chamber. To

' v a in succession, as said shutter valves openand close, openings 39. and 40 are formed 'in yprovide for opening and closing said air dmlssion passageways 2', 3', 4, 5 and 6 the'edges ofthe shutter valves 25 and 26, respectively, in line with an air admission r4,'passageway controlled by said shutter valves,

`respectively. As shown, the opening 39is in line-With the air admission passageway 3 controlled by thel valve25 and the opening 40 with the assageway '-l controlled by the valve ,26. lso formed on` said shutter valves, in line with .said openings 39 and 40,- are rejections 41, 41, which are of substantiall) the 4same size as said o )enings,'re spective y,' and lare adapted to t into said holes or openings' when said shutter valves are closed.' Said openings 89 and 40 and projections dl1 and 41 are made of different operative lengths circumferentally of said' shutter valves,s0 that lat a desired interval i respectively.

of time before or after fullopening ofthe passageway 2'; preferably immediately vafter full opening thereof, -the inner end of the opening 39 will begin to' pass over the air `admission. passageway 3', and, in like man@ ner, thev inner end of the opening'fl-O will A With the described constructiomitis ob! :vious that the quantity of hydrocarbon feed to the engine may be regulated with great precision and nicety and also that the pro-l portion of air and hydrocarbon vapor may be accurately varied to produce an eli'ective mixture.' ,y

v. lWith ythe described construction, it is also obvious that, when the lever 28v is turned to separate or open theL valves 25 and 26 a sulicient distance to open or close the air admission passageway 2, the shutter valves 23 and 24 which control the discharge opening'l will be opened a corresponda -distance, and that the opening of said s lutter valves will continue as the turningxor" the operating lever 28 continues, so as to open in succession the air passageways 3', 4t', 5 and 6. Due-to the 'fact that the sizeof the discharge opening 1 from the carbureter is thus graduated to correspond to the opening oruncovering of different numbers o-alir admission passageways, it is obvious that the mixture,l in the chamber A.- will pass through thewdischarge `openin from the carbureter at a high velocity, wich willcanse the'particles oi' hydrocarbon to strike the shutter valves 23 and 24, the impact operating to break up said particles of hydrocarbon. Also, as the air. and hydrocarbonvapors pass out of the carburetor, theyv will converge' toward-the contracted' discharge opening, therebyv ellf'ecting an intimate association and intermixing thereof, which will produce a uniform explosive inirgtu'reolhigh etliciency.

Preferably, also, 1' supplement the breaking up and mixing action of the shutter valves 23 and 2l by baliie plates which extend across the' mixing chamber A between the air admission openings andthe discharge opening and which are adapted to impart an eddying -eect tothe currentvofmixed air and hydrocarbon vapor, passing through said mixing chamber, the impact of 'the hy-` drocarbon particles against said bathe plates operating to break` up and finely subdivide the same and the eddyingaction produced thereby operating to effect a thorough 'mixright vangles thereto, the inclination of said trolling the vforce of the spring 13 4applic pim Ibeing', such that they" win4 diver-t' the current passing'from the air admission openings to the, dlscharge opening, breaking it upinfo a number oli-conflicting currents, which will produce the eddying and mixing elect desired. .My invent-ion, however, conlaminates the use of any desired or approved form oi baille arranged in any desired manner.

As previously stated, the throttle lever 28 coperates with the cam surface 16 on the ki'sturr'ied to closethe throttle valves 23,24, A 25` and 2 6, the relation being-such that turningsaidthrottle lever lto fully close the throttle valves will. also fully close the v'valve 9. The relation issuch also that,when.the

l throttle lever is turned to openthe throttle tia ' features valves,- said throttle lever will releasethe 11 thus permittin 'saidspring to turn saidlever 1l to open t. 1e valve 9. `As prey lever viously stated however, the extent of opening of said valve 9 Aby t 'e'springl13 may be regulated and controlled by means ofthe stop 17, so that, even when thethrbttl'e valves areaulljv opened the. opening of-thevalve'B..

belimited as desired, or wholly or,par

sprlng 13.

While I consider the use of the-valv`es23 A n As shown, said valve. 47 is adapted to be and 24 as preferable, as regards most of the -of my improved carbureter, said valves are notessential and may be' omitted w'thout departure from the invention.

heobject of my invention, as it relatesftd p1ovidin, 1;,v an auxiliary carbureter partlcu, lai-ly designed and adaptedforuse' 1n starting the engine and for idling, the. construction 'of my improved carbureter is as follows ;-For`med in a wall of the cwbureter casing A and extending through the same from top to bottom isa hole or passa evvay` which is preferab y env larged as shown at 45 and formedat the upvalve chamber-provided mi 44, the lower end of per end of. which is a with a., valve seat 46 being controlled in th be described.

'a which forms'a continuationof t ways 7 through which hydrocarbon is sup' plied to the jetnozzles of the main carbureter. l

The valve 47 is provided with a valve stem' 49 which is movable endwse in s. bcarinfr i D formed m a screw plng'O which closes the' outer end of the valve chamber 51 formed atthe upper-end of the passageway 44, said closed' "against the force, of. the

adapted to ride on a onv the upper edgeof tension 57 of the screw plug 50, the relation for a `valve 47,'said valve` l manner presently to upwardly intuitieenlarged lower end 45.0 said assageway, is

which communlcates\.with the float` assageway'V e passagevalve,` being maintained normallyfclosed i means of a spring 52 inserted between the screw plug and the upper side of the valve 47- andjwhich surrounds the vvalve stem 49 as a guide.

When said valve 47 is only partly o ened, a cle/an mixture will be formed whic however, will be. sufficient for running the engine when idling.' Also, when saidL 'valve is fully opened, the explosive mixture will be rich in hydrocarbon thus providing a priming charge by means ofwh-ichthemotor may be quickly and convenientlyv started.=

To provide for varying the angular moveing of the valve 47 by the throttle lever extension 60, means are provided for adjusting.

the point of attachment of the link 59 to the rod or wire 55. Asshown, said link 59 is connected directly to a block 61 .provided with a hole or opening -through which the rod 55 extends and whichis adapted to bc at 63. f

Pivotal movement is adapted to be imn parted to the' valve stem 49 to wholly or partially open, said valve by meansof a wire 64 which asses freelyl through a hole formed in thehlock 61 and-adjustably secured to which, as by means of a setfscrew,

' is a button 65. Endwise movement is adapted to be imparted 'to the wire 64 by, means -of a usual lever, which, in the case of an automobile, is mounted on the steering post.

In some types of engines, particularly eightcylinder engines,'t h'e :cylinders comprise series connected to theI carburetor by means of separatel manifolds which, however, communicate with a common discharge openingfof the carburetor: `This is objection'ablefor th son that itis `found in practice thgtltlee:auctions-ofw t'ie cylinders-` willoperate not only tojdraw explsixemixture from' the carburetenbut will also oper- 'A ate to draw or steal explosive mixture ment of the valve stem 49 andthus the open` Also to provide for varying-the,
