UNITED STATES HUG-o JNGLING, oF HANOVER, PEUssIA.

IMPROVEMNT IN CARBURETERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 146,458, dated January 13, 1874; application filed August 13, 1873.

To all `whom fit may concern:

Be it known that I, HUGO JNGLING, of Hanover, in the Kingdom of Prussia, have invented certain Improvements in Gas Apparatus, of which the following is a specification:

This invention has for its object to produce a gasgenerator or carbureter in which the danger of ignition and explosion is avoided, and in which gas may be produced on the very moment andto the very extent when and as it is wanted, and in which,furthermore, the current of air introduced from the air-producer to the generator corresponds exactly to the quantity of gas which is consumed, in which even undistilled hydrocarbons can be used and consumed, and in which, finally, the apparatus is -not "subject to repeated iilling and restoring.

My invention consists in combining the liquid-pipe with an air-pipe, both of said pipes being connected with the liquid-reservoir and the air-pipe leading from the blower into the gas-generating chamber, whereby a constant pressure of air is present in the reservoir, and at the same time the liquid is forced into the generator in the form of a spray.

In the drawing, Figure l is a top view, partly in section, of my improved gas apparatus. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a side view of the blower and generator.

iSimilar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts inall the figures.

A represents an ordinary blower, by which air is forced, in the usual manner, into a pipe, L, a weight, d, or other power, operating the same. The air from the blower A Vpasses through the pipe L into a generator, B, the end of the pipe L, before entering the generator B, being shaped into anozzle,r. A second pipe, a, conveying the liquid to be evaporated from a reservoir, C, to the generator B, enters the pipe L directly behind the nozzle r, and terminates in the nozzle. The air forced through the nozzle fr creates a suction in the pipe a, and draws thereby the liquid through such tube n into a cylinder, y, that is contained within the generator B, throwing it in form of a line spray, as indicated in Figs. l and 3. It is evident that the stronger the current of air passing through the tube L, the more of the liquid it will carry along with it, so that the mixture will always be in the same proportion. A pipe, n', surrounds the pipe n, in

order to convey as much air from the pipe L to the top of the reservoir C as liquid has been discharged through the pipe n into the cylinder F, thus preventing a vacuum in the reservoir C. In order to entirely utilize precipitations from the mixture of the air and liquid introduced as spray and subjected to instant evaporation, as well as to make the produced gas perfectly homogeneous, and to give the discharged gas a uniform mot-ion, the mixture is, before leaving the generator B, forced through a series of sieves, :v w, situated in the cylinder y beneath the outlet of the pipe L. The gas created by the evaporation of the line spray discharged from the nozzle r will then pass downwardly through the sieves thence upward, between the cylinder yand the outer case of the generator B, into the gas-pipe G.

A small upright pipe, m, serves to let olf the non-impregnated air, or any other light gas that may have accumulated in case the vessel B hasnet been used for any length of time.

The three main parts A, B, and C of the ap- ,ner that the reservoir C issituated on a lower level than the generator B and blower A. This separation prevents the danger of re, which is further avoided by admitting the liquid from the reservoir C Valways in proportion to the consumption of gas. arrest the operation of the machine, it is only necessary to shut a stop-cock, H, in the pipe L, which will prevent the blower from forcing air through such pipe, and consequently from operating. p

I do not claim the process of charging air or gas with hydrocarbon fluids by the atomizer or injector principle; but

What I claim as my invention is The air-pipe n', surrounding the liquid-pipe n, and both connected with the 1iquid-reser voir C and air-pipe L, having the nozzle r for spreading the liquid and air in the cylinder y of the generator B, all in the described combination, substantially as set forth. l

This specification signed by me this 6th day of June, 1873.
