-LIQUID-FUEL PUBIIFIER.
Application filed March ;"19211. Serial e s To all mlzomtmay concern: I l Be it known that I, Jorinrl'l; GANNON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tueson, inkthe county of Pima and Stateof Arizona, have invented a new and useful Liquid-Fuel Purifier, of which the following is a specifica-tion.
The object of my invention is to provide a novel and efficient purifier for straining and purifying liquid fuel easy cleaning-of the device. Iattain these and other objects of my invention bythe mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevationof the invention applied to an automobile engine; Fig. 2 is a transverse section approximatelyon the line 2 2 of Fig. 3';
movable face plate 2', which is attached to Fig. 3 is a h0r1zontal section on the'line 33 of Fig. 4; v p
. Fig. 1 is a side elevationzof the devlce with the cover QIremoved; and
Fig. 5 isa bottom plan ofIthe cover 2.
Like characters ofreference' designate like parts in each of the several views; 1 Referring tothe accompanying drawings I provide asuitablecasing 1 having a re:
the casing by suitable means .as screws-.3.
I provide a suitableinlet4 opening into the water andsedinient chamber'ffi; ,1 pro videa suitable outlet at the other end of. the
vPositioned above chamber .5 and extend ingbeyond said chamber longitudinally of the casing, I provide a flotation chamber 8, which isin communication with chamber through .thc large opening 6 in the partition 7, as shown inFigs. 3 and 1. Iprovide and a'thirdwaterand sediment. chamber 16,
with the upper portion of which chamber the outlet 19 communii-atedns shown'in Fig.
1. On the under sideof face plate-[2 I Vproior use in internal combustionengines; to provide a novel ar rangement of compartments and screens in Sllifll adevice; and to provide means for.
vide gasket strips orribs 25 corresponding in position withthe walls of the several chambers shown and described; I provide a plurality of openings '23 through theface plate 2 and in communication with openings '24 through valve passages '22 in the valves 21'. when the latter are open. fValves'Ql are provided. ,wit-h any conventional form of handles, such as illustrated. Passages 22 and 23am upwardly tapered, as shownin Fig. 52, 'to pe rmit of the insertion of a wire at such an angle as to allow the drawing off of accumulated water from the purifier;
The'operation of the device is as follows: i The liquid fuel enters through jinlet piped.
into the water and sediment chamber 5, thence passlng through opening 6 of the dejflecting boardor partition 7 into the flotation chamber ,8. Thegre-at bulk of water."
and sedimentv settles in the bottom chamber 5. v other floating objects rise to thetop of this In the flotation chamber 8 all lint or chamber and there remain. The liquid fuel leaves chamber 8 through screen 9, entering the secondwater and sediment chamber "10,
thence being diverted 'by partition 1?, through screen 12, into the second flotation chamber 13, and thence throughscreen 15 into thethird'water and sediment chamber 16, thence finding its way out through the outlet 19. i The circuitous course of the fuel through the various compartments and screens effectively purifies the liquid fuel, as lint, etc, areintercepted by thescreen and sediment is deposited by gravity. in. the lower chambers, from which chambers. also any water is removed "through the faucets 20.
The provision of the removable face-plate 2 allows quick and easy cleaning of the device. Asthe outlet 19 is positioned in a planeabovethej plane. in which the series of screens are positioned, they are atall time submerged, thus preventing clogging bv floating matter. The inlet and outlet nippies {and 19, respectively, are of conventional construction and suitably conne ted to the fuel sijipplyline as illustrated in Fig. 1.
interposed betweenthe flotation chamber 13,
The screens will be made of suitable wire cloth of a finenessof mesh to suitithe liquid fuel used. I
What I' claim is- 1. A liquid fuel purifier comprisinga' casing and partitions therein-dividingthe interior thereof into a plurality of chambers,
