Be it known that ll, JESSE G. VINCENT, a citizen of'the United States,` and resident of Detroit, Wayne County, 'State of Michigan,

have invented certain new and useful lmprovernents lin lHydrocarbon Motors, of which the following is a specicatlon.

This invention relates to hydrocarbon vmotors and particularly to the construction and arrangement ofthe intake conduit and the heating jackets therefor.

, Une of the objects of the invention is to provide a motor intake pipe or conduit .with j acketing Ineans that w1 l insure heating all parts of the ipe.

Another object of the invention is to provide a'sectional intake'pipe with interconnected water jackets so that all of the sections ofthe pipe ma be heated.

Other' objects of t e invention 'will appear from the following description' taken in connection with the drawings, which form .va

part of'this'specitioation, and in whichofF' .the cylinders of a hydrocar L ninotor illustrated is a six-cylinder motor -though parts of only tive cylinders are shown in the drawings, the other parts be- Fig. 1 isa plan view of a hydrocarbon motor embodying the invention j Fig. 2 is a part sectional and part elevation 'of the motor shown in Fig. 1;' f Fig. 3 is an venlarged section on'- thev line 3'-3 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 4 is an enlarged section on the line of Fig-.2; .and Fig. 5 is an enlarged section on the l1ne 5--5 of Fig.' 1 and on both of the 'lines 5 5 2. a Reerring tothe drawin 10 represents n motor. The

'in broken away.

4.Fach of the cylinders is water 'acketed and an outlet pipe is shown at 11,-t is ip bein near the top rof the cylinder'. of t e cylinders is also formed with a pair of inlet elbows 12 in which the yinlet ports are formed. 'llhe exhaust elbows andA ports are not shown in the drawings. All of these.V

are on the other side of the cylinders and elbows and ports are also arranged at the top of the cylinders.

The inlet ports ofthe cylinders are fed by an inlet conduit or pipe which 1s shown as formed in three separate .sectlons, two upper sections 13 and a lower section 14 to which the carburetor l5 isconnected. Fach ofthe' water Howing` 13, wlll receive of the sections 13 is formedwithshort pi e extenslons 16 which are connected to t e nssrenoia To Eaennmj Tao'ron can. ooTT- Y elbows 12 above described. Eachlof the sections is also formed with a water jacket space 17 preferably on two wallsof 'the conduit as' shown particularly in Figs. 3

and 5. Short pipe extensions 18 from -lthe jacketv 17 connect with'the outlet pipes-11" from the cylinders sothat all of the water from the ackets of the cylinders enters these jackets 17 of the conduit sections 13.

@ne of the sections 13 is -provided with a water outlet 19 from the jacket 17 and this outlet is adapted to be connectedl to a radiator or other suitable means for coolmg is, of course, pumped back to the `motor `ylinders in the usual way so that a comete circulation is maintained. The intake conduit section 14 is also provided with a water jacket, indicated at 20, this also being on nected to the sectionsv 13 as. bythe bolts 21.

'llhus the carburetor 15 connects through the main passage of the-section 14 with the main passes to theinotor cylinders.y Each of the jackets 17 of the conduit sec- Lsaid rig. 5 be ing a section on both of the lines 5--5 of Fi 2. iIt is also shown in Fig. 1 where one of t e sections 13'is cut away 1n the lower left-hand corner of the figure.

It will be seen that with an outlet to the radiator from only one of the sections 13 all from the 'three cylindersv into the jacket-.of the left-hand section 13 ,must of necessity How through the commuvtwo walls vas shown 'in Fig. 4, and the section is detachablyfconassages of the two sections 13 and from the atter sectlons the combustible mixture 8.5 I tions 13 is in communication with the jacket nicating assage 22, the jacket 20 -and then through t e communicating passage 22 to the jacket of the right-hand section 13. This is leaving out of consideration for the moment a secondary passage between the two sections 13 which will' be hereinafter referred to. Thus the section 14, even though it is much lower down than the inlets to the'sections oughly heat it and thus assist vin vaporizing sucient hot water tov thor-V the mlxture passing through the 'intake pipe.

As an auxiliary pr safety outlet a pipe connectlon 23 providedv from the upper part of the jacket 17 of the left-hand conduit sec tion 13 to the jacket 17 of the right-hand conduit section 13,. Thus in case of an excess of water in the left-,hand section some of it will pass out at the top` of the jacket and into the jacket of' the right-hand section. The normal flow, however, will still be through the jacket 20 of the section 14.

While I have herein described in some detail a specifcembodment of my invention, which 1 deem to be new and advantageousl and may specifically claim, I do not desire it to be understood that my invention is limited to the exact details of the construction, as it will be apparent that changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit or scope of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a hydrocarbon motor the combination with the water jacketed'rcylinders, of a jacketed intake pipe formed by a lower and two upper sections, inlet means from the cylinder jackets to the jackets of the upper pipe sections, outlet means from the jacket of one of said upper sections, and communicating means between the jacket of the lower pipe section and each of the upper sections.

2. In a hydrocarbon motor the combination with the water'jacketed cylinders, of a jacketed intake pipe formed by a lower and two,` upper sectlons, inlet means from the cylinder jackets to the jackets of the upper pipe sections, outlet means from the jacket of one onlyof said upper sections, and pass-V ages connectingthe jacket of the lower section .with the jackets of the upper sections.

3. In a hydrocarbon motor the combination with the water jacketed cylinders, of a jacketed intake pipe formed by a lower and two upper sections, inlet means from the cylinder jackets to the jackets of the uppery of the upper sectlons.

4. In a hydrocarbon motor, the combination with a series of water jacketed. cylinders havin'g jacket outlets near the tops, of a jacketed intake pipe formed of two sections connected to the cylinders, and a third jacketed section connected to the other two, water inlet means from the top of the cylinders to the jackets of the cylinder connected sections, outlet means from the jacket of one of said two sections, and connections from the jacket of the third section to each of the other two.

5. In a hydrocarbon motor, the combination with a series of water jacketed cylinders having jacket outlets near the tops, of a jacketed intake pipe formed of two sections connected to the cylinders, and a third jacketed section'connected to the other two, water inlet means from the top of the cylinders to the jackets of the cylinder connected sections, outlet means from the jacket of one only of said two sections, connections from the jacket of the third section to each of the other two sections, and a pipe connecting the jackets of the said two sections. In testimony whereof I affix m si JESSE G. VIyNC nature.
