Specification of Letters Patent. Patgnted Aug, 8, 1922.

Application filed October 16, i916. Serial No. 125,795.

To @ZZ whom tf/nag] concern.' i

Be it known that l, ENooH RECTOR, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carburetors, of which the following is a specification.

My 'invention relates in general to a carburetor of fuel charge forming device for internal combustion engines and particularly relates to a vaporizing carburetor designed for use with a hydro-carbon fuel which will not vaporize with air under ordinary temperatures.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide a simple form of carburetor of the class described which will act on a ycheap form of hydro-carbon and attenuate the same so that it can combine with vair in proper quantities to give the requisite rich-l ness of mixture and at the proper temperature to effect the most economical actua tion of the engine supplied thereby.

Another obj ect of the invention is topro vide a compensating carburetor responsive to variation in speed conditions of the engine for regulating both the amount of fuel supplied to the engine and for regulating the amount of heat conveyed to the fuel so that different speed conditions of the engine will drawthe requisite amount of fuel and at the temperature Abest suited for-any particular speed.

Broadly, I attain this latter object by connecting a pump to some one of the moving engine parts and using the pump to force the fuel under the same pressure conditions to the vaporizing part of the carburetor and to the burner which heats the vaporizer.

By this arrangement as more -fuel is passed through the vaporizer proportionately more fuel is supplied lto feed the burner and the increased activity of the burner acts on the increased supply of engine fuel to maintain the previous temperature or otherwise vary the temperature to suit the conditions imposed by the extra fuel supply.

Another object of the invention is to provide a simple form of pilot light for the burner which will come into operation automaticallyfwhen the engine is shut-off and which will become inactive automatically by increase in pressure in the feed line as when the activity feeds fuel to the burner.

incidental to these general desiderata it is further contemplated to provide a device of the class described which will be promptly responsive tothe variable demands from the engine; which 'can 1 be 'readily assembled and demounted and which can be controlled manually or automatically.

Various other objects and advantages of the invention 'will be in part obvious from inspection of the accompanying drawings and in part will be more' fully set forth in the following particular description of one form of mechanism embodying my invention, and the invention also consists in certain new and novel features of construction and combination of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.

n Referring to the accompanying drawings:-

Figure l is a side view partly in vertical section of la preferred embodiment of my invention shown in position connected to an engine; andy y Figures 2, 3 and 4- are horizontal sectional views taken respectively on the lines E9s- 2,

3 3 and 4-t of Fig. l.

ln' the drawings the attachment to the engine particularly forming the subjectmatter ofthis application and hereinafter referred to as a carburetor is shown connected to supply fuel to the intake port 5.

of a manifold 6 forming part of an internal combustion engine of any known design and which engineincludes a movable element such as the shaft 7 having a speed of rotation dependent upon the speed of the engine. This shaft has a gear wheel 8 fixed thereto and arranged to actuate a pump 9, hereinafter described. This pump is designed to force fuel from a source of supply, indicated diagrammatically by the gravity flow pipe '10, to the carburetor at a rate responsive to any variation in speed of the engine, so that when the engine is ruiming fast proportionately more fuel is passed by the pump per unit of time than when running relatively slow.

The carburetor inclu-des an organization of a vaporizing device including a burner for heating the same, and a system of valved piping, including the pump 9, for supplying fuel to both the burner and vaporizing device.

The vaporizing device is designed to constitute an article of manufacture arranged to be demountably fastened to the intake manifold as by means of the bolted flanged connection 11 shown in Figure 2.

The vaporizing device includes an inner heater shell 12, the lower portion of which is cylindrical and opened at the bottom. The upper portion of the shell is reduced in diameter to form an outlet throat 13 for the products of combustion from a burner 11i enclosed within the lower portion of the shell. The throat opens into a chimney 15 having a telescoping fit about the reduced upper end of the shell.

y rlhe lower cylindrical portion of the shell 12 is enclosed by an outer cylindrical shell 16, opened at top and bottom and spaced from the inner shell to form an annular air passageway 17. This passageway is long` and narrow so that the heat radiating surface of the inner shell is relatively large compared to the volume of air in the passageway thus insuring the preheating of the air even when passing through the vaporizer at high velocity. The lower ends of the shells are maintained in fixed position by means of a four-arm spider 18 (see Fig. a) demountably fastened thereto by screws 19. rIhe central portion of the spider is in the form of an open top flat cylindrical cup 20, arranged to receive any fuel spilled from the burner and arranged to constitute a well for receiving a charge of fuel when it is desired to quickly heat the burner. The burner 14 is fastened centrally to the bottom of the cup and projects upwardly into the cylindrical port of the shell A12 for about one-third of its height.

rllhe upper end of the vaporizing device is defined by a flat hood 21, the upper wall 22 of which is provided with an opening 23 for containing the upper end of the shell 12 and which wall is fastened to flange 24 projecting laterally from said upper end.

The hood includes a depending cylindrical wall 25 telescoping the upper end of the outer shell 16 and fastened thereto by means of the screws 26. This wall 25 is spaced from the reduced upper end of the. inner shell to form an enlarged expansion chamber 27 opening from the upper end of the passageway 17 and opening into a fuel passageway 28. rhis passageway extends laterally from the upper end of the vaporizing device and is-reduced horizontally to the flanged end 29 (see Fig. 2) and opens directly into the intake port 5.

A throttle valve 30 is mounted in the passageway 28 adjacent the end 29 for controlling the movement of the fuel mixture into the engine and is mounted on a valve stem 31 which extends exteriorly of the vaporizing device.

Four fuel ejecting nozzles 32 are positioned in the: passageway 17 slightly above the center thereof and equally spaced circumferentially as shown in Figure 3. These nozzles have relatively small vents 3B in the side thereof, which vents face upwardly so as to direct the fuel from the nozzles along the air passageway and into the expansion chamber 27. These nozzles are let into the side of the inner shell and constitute a means for supporting a heating grid 3a mounted within the inner shell above the burner. This grid is spaced from the burner so as to give the most perfect heating condition when the engine is runningat its most efficient speed. This grid is a casting having a. centrally disposed upright column 85 provided with a bore 36, the lower end of which opens into the bores 37 of four radially disposed arms 38 extending outwardly from the column to the wall of the inner she-ll. The nozzles are threaded into the outer ends of the arms 38 which arrangement not only provides a simple means for demouutably supporting the grid but also provide a means for demounting the nozzles to clean or replace the same. rlhe arms are provided with spaced flanges 39 for increasing the surface exposed to the heat of the burner. A; heating coil 4:0 is positioned in the upper part of the shell 12 and is disposed above the arms 3S and wrapped to lill the space between the column 35 and the wall of the shell. The discharge end of the coil is formed into a loop 41 projecting upward into the throat 13 and curved down into the top ends of the bore 36 as' shown in Figure 1. rThe coil and bores leading therefrom collectively have relatively small volume so that there is but small clearance for the fuel to be vaporized and a corresponding rapid generation of lightly heated fuel when the action of the device is inaugurated.

The piping system f r supplying fuel to the coil and burner includes a rotary type of pump 9 driven from the engine shaft 7 through multiplying gearing formed of the gear wheels 8 and Z12, the latter fined to the pump shaft 113. The` intake end of the pump is supplied with fuel from the pipe 10 and the discharge end r-/lof the pumpl is connected to a main pipe line 4to. rlhis pipe; line includes two branches, one branch 46 leading to the burner 14e and the other branch 1-7 leading to the lower end of the heating coil 10.

The branches are so proportioned that when the engine is running at the speed which gives its maximum efficiency, the vaporizing device is supplied with an amount of fuel per unit of time requisite llO to effect this maximum efficiency and the burner is supplied with an amount of fuel just .sufficient to properly vaporize this theoretically `perfect amount of fuel passing through the vaporizing device. When the engineis working at any other speed it is hardly possible with vents having iXed discharges is at least approximated and*` obviously the ratiomay be` changed4k by substituting larger or smaller nozzles. n

A single control valve l18 is positioned in the main line to control the flow through both of the branches. rlhe stem i9 of this valve is connected to the throttle valve stem' 31 by means of a coupling 50 so that both the valves land SO may be controlled simultaneously. A lever 51 is attached to the stem e9 and is arranged so that it may be actuated manually when such a control is desired or it may be connectedv tothe engine governor when it is desired to control the fuel supply by the speed of the engine or, in fact, the lever may be connected with any known form of automatic control mechanism, i f

The device illustrated includes means for feeding a? relatively small amount of fuel t0 the'lburner forthe purpose of maintain-y ing a pilot light whenthe burner is notl otherwise'in active operation. These means include a by-pass pipe 52 of small bore leading` from the pipe 10 to the branch 46 adjacent its connection withv the burner. The ley-pass includes a check valve 58 normally closed and opening in the direction of flow through the by-pass. A main fuel control valve 54 is positioned inthe pipe 10 for the purpose of regulating the supply from the reservoir (not shown) to the device illustrated.

`The branch 16 is provided with a check valve 55 normally closing off the main fuel supply to the burner and opened by arise in pressure in they piping system through the actuation of the pump or other pressure creating means.

1n operation and assuming thaty there is a pressure of fuel in the reservoir or where the gravity feed system is usedthat the elevation of the tank is sufficient tomaintain a pilot light, the valve 5ft is opened and the pilot light at the burner lit through the space between the spider 18 at the bottom` of the vaporizing device. The pressure in the pipe 10 is sufl'cient to open the relatively light check valve 53 and `thus permit the fuel to flow through the by-pass pipe to sup-p ply a pilot light in the burner.. The pilot light not only forms an igniter for the burner but serves to maintain the Vaporizing device hot and thus insures a prompt vaporizing ofthe engine fuel when Lthe engine is started.

r he engine is started, the lever 51 set to open the

valves

30 and 18 as is usual in starting engines oflthe type disclosed and the pump begins to force the fuel from the pipe 10 throughv the main pipe line, as shown by the arrows in Fig. 1. The pressure created by the pump acts on the check `valve 55 vto open the same and as long as the pressure is maintained fuel will flow pass this checlr valve to the burner. The pilot light will ignite the fuel thus forced to 'the burner andthe heat from the burner quickly heats, the arms 38 even to incandescence and the heat is carried on to the column 35 and the coil l() rapidly heating the same. The products of combustion from the burner are finally passed out through the chimney 15. At the same time the fuel is forced up throughy the other branch L7 and heating coil, down through the loop 41, bore 46 and outwardly through the vents 33 in the nozzles. During its passage through the vaporizing device the fuel is heated to high temperature and when ejected into the passageway 17 isvaporized so as to be highly attenuated.

`Air isy drawn into the lower end of the passageway 17 and is heated by contact with the shell 12 before it comes in contact with the heated fuel from the nozzles. The

kspaced apart position of the nozzles insures an intimate mixing of air and gaseous fuel rbefore the mixture is passed into the eX- pansion chamber. The expansion chamber will be suppliedwith this fuel mixture as long as the vaporizing device is opened to the suction of the engine.y

The high pressure created by the pump on the fuel in the branch 46 'reacts through the bypass pipe to overbalance the normal pressure acting to open the check-valve 53 and permits or forces the check valve closed thus intercepting any How from the pump back into the supply pipe 10.

Should the speed of the engine increase or 'decrease from its normal working speed, the pump will respond accordingly and force a proportionately greater or lessk amount of fuel to the vaporizing device and burner thus affecting not'only an automatic regulation of the fuel supply passed' to the engine but also 1 an` automatic regulation of the amount of fuel fed to the burner.

By adjusting the position of the lever 51 the amount of fuel permitted to pass into the engine is regulated as is usual with devices of this character but in addition to this function the lever 51 also controls the burner. llVhen the lever is moved into position to intercept the flow through the main pipe line, the pressure therein is reduced, the valvek 55 closes automatically and the normal gravity pressure in the pipe 10 opens the valve 58 and reestablishes the pilot light in active operation. By using a rotary type of pump the same can run idly under its own momentum after the control valves are shut-off without doing any particular harm.

By means of a device of this character there is attained not onlya saving in fuel but a cheap grade of crude oil may be used as fuel for both the engine and vaporizer burner.

The clearance in the coil and the disposition of the vents in the small volume air passageway insures practically an instantaneous vaporizing and mixing of the crude oil vapors with the air which has been quickly heated in its passage along the extensive area presented by the inner shell.
