DOUGLAS 1'. PARKER, OF SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA.

KEROSEN'E-BURNING DEVICE.

Application filed January 19, 1918. Serial No. 212,768.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DOUGLAS P. PARKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shreveport, in the county of Caddo and State of Louisiana, have invented a new and useful Kerosene-Burning Device, of which the following is a specification.

The structure forming the subject matter of this application is adapted for use wlth internal combustion engines, and one ob]ect of the invention is to provide novel means whereby gasolene and a relatively heavy 011 slkljllll as kerosene may be used interchangea y.

be heated by the exhaust before the charge enters the intake manifold.

A further object of the invention is to provide novel means whereby water or steam may be introduced into the intake manifold when kerosene is used, the water or steam supply being out ofl' when gasolene 1s em.- ployed.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that typeto which the present invention appertains.

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention. 4

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 shows in side elevation,'a device constructed in accordance with the present invention, parts appearing in section;

Fig 2 is a vertical longitudinal section wherein parts appear in elevation;

Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken through the intake manifold and parts located therebelow; and

Fig. 4 is a fragmentalcross section taken approximately on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1.

The numeral 1 denotes an exhaust manifold having an underlying tubular outlet 2 terminated in a flange 3. The manifold 1 is provided with the usual cylinder connections 4. At 5 there appears an intake manifold having cylinder connections'fi. At its bottom, the intake manifold 5 is supplied Specification of Letters Patent.

Another object of the invention is to provide novel means whereby the charge Wlll.

with a drum-like extension 7 includingheads 8 and 9. Flues of relatively small diameter, denoted by the numeral 10, exte d from the vhead 8 to the head 9, and open t rough the heads.

The numeral 11 denotes, generally, a casing member, and the numeral 12 designates another casing member. The casing member 11 comprises aneck 14 and a cup-like body 15, the body 15 being-threaded on or otherwise secured to the head 8 ofthe extension 71 The neck 14 terminates in a flange 16 attached by means of securing elements 17 to the flange 3 of the outlet 2 for the exhaust manifold 1. The casing member 12 embodies a manifold 5 intermediate the ends of the I latter. valve casing 21 and is adapted to convey to the manifold 5, water or steam from any suitable source, such as the radiator of an automobile. J ournaled in the valve casing 21 is a one way valve 23 operated by means of an arm 24 pivoted at-25 toa screw 26 threaded into a sleeve 27, the sleeve being adjustably,.by means of a set screw 30, to a controlling rod 31, pivoted at 32 to an extension 33 which may be prolonged to some, point which will render this element accessible to an operator.

A pipe 22 communicates with the A valve casing 34 is connected by means of a neck 35 with the bottom portion of the drum-like extension 7 of the intake mamfold 5, and opens between the heads 8' and 9. In thevalve casing 34 is journaled' a three-way valve 36, controlled by an arm 37 which is pivoted at 38 to the end of the rod 31.

The numeral 39 denotes a gasolene car-' valve casing 34, the numeral 49 marking a kerosene carbureter communicating with the other end of the valve casing, the three way bureter communicating with one end of the supplied from the carbureter 40 will pass through the valve 36 and enter the intake manifold 5, through the drum-like extension,

7. At the same time, water or steam will be admitted through the pipe 22 and the valve 23 into the intake manifold 55. When it is desired to use gasolene, the rod 31 is manipulated by means of the extension 33, a rotation being imparted to the valve 33 by the arm 34, the screw 26 and the sleeve 27,, a rotation being imparted to the valve 26 by way of the rod 31 and the arm 37. When the valve 36 is rotated so that the gasolene carbureter 39 discharges into the intake manifold 5 through the drum-like extension 7, the valve 23 is rotated so as to cut oii the supply of water or steam through the pipe 22. In view of the foregoing,'it will be seen that water or steam will be supplied to the explosive mixture, when-the basis of the explosive mixture is kerosene vapor: but, upon the other hand, no water will be supplied when the basis of the eX- plosive mixture is gasolene vapor.

The valves 23 and 36 may be set to operate properly with respect to each other, and according to the procedure hereinbefore outlined, by threading the screw 26 into or out of the sleeve 27. Similarly, by shifting the rider 29 along the rod 31, and by holding the rider in adjusted positions through the medium of the set screw 30, the valves 23 and 36 may be set with respect to each other.

Ordinarily, the structure is started by the use of gasolene supplied from the carbureter 39, and when the engine has warmed up sufficiently, the gasolene carbureter 39 is cut off and the kerosene carbureter 40 is put into operation in the way hereinbefore described.

The exhaust proceeding from the manifold 1, traverses the outlet 2, the casing member 12, the fiues 10, and the casing member 12. As the exhaust passes through the lines 10, the explosive mixture entering the intake manifold 5 by way of the drum-like extension 7 is heated, and the efiiciency of the mixture is enhanced accordingly.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:

In a device of the class described, an exhaust manifold; an intake manifold; carbureters communicating with the intake manifold; a two-Way valve intermediate the carbureters and provided with a first arm, the valve constituting means for establishing communication between the carbureters, one at, a time, and the intake manifold; a water supply conduit communicating with the intake manifold; a valve controlling the conduit and provided with a, second arm; an operating rod pivoted to the first arm; a sleeve mounted to slide for'acljustment along the rod; means for holding the sleeve in adjusted positions on the rod; a longitudinally adjustable connection comprising parts having their inner ends threaded together, one of said parts being pivoted to the sleeve; and a pivot element uniting the other of said parts with the second arm, the pivot element constituting means whereby the connection, as an entity, is movably assembled with the second arm, and constituting means for preventing relative movement between the parts of the connection thereby to maintain the connection at an adjusted length.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
