MIXTURE-HEATIIN G DEVICE FOR IN TERNAL-COMB'USTION ENGINES.
Application led November 28, 1923. Serial No. 677,136.
To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, FRANK F. STARR, a citizen of the United Statesof America, residin at Dayton, county of Montgomery, and Itate of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful 'Improvements in Mixture- Heating Devices for Internal-Combustion Engines, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to electrical heating units for heating a passage through which a fluid is conducted and especially for heating fuel for an internal combustion en ine.
ne of the objects of the present invention is to heat a passage, such as an engine intake, by means of an electrical heating unit which is so constructed that the electrica-1 connections can be made without providing separate holes in the walls Of the passage.
To accomplish this object, one form of the invention includes an insert located between two ducts such as a cylinder head and a fuel intake pipe. This insert isI clamped between the adjacent ends of-these ducts and provides a passage connecting them; and supports a heating coil within the passage and terminals extending to the exterior of the insert.
Further Objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the -following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein a preferred embodiment of the present inven tion is clearly shown.
In the drawin Fig. 1 is a ragmentary cross-sectional View of an engine intake showing the improved heating unit partly in section.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on lines 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on lines 3 3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a sectional View taken on line 4--4 of Fig. 3.
Referring to the drawings, 26 is a cylin-n der head of an internal combustion engine which carries a valve 21 and is provided with a passage 22. An engine fuei intake 23 provides a passagev 24 in alignment with. passage 22. Head 2G and intake 23 are provided with flanges 25 and 23, respec- The heating coil unit 30 comprises a plurality of conductor plates 31 and 32 which are insulated from one another by non-conducting laminae 33. S1m1lar non-conductlng laminae are positioned on the outside facesv of the conductor plates 31 and 32. The non-conducting laminee 33 are rovided with holes 34 having a diameter su stantially the same as the diameter of passages 22 and 24 and the conductor plates 31 and 32 are provided with a plurality of arcuate slots 35 and-36. Fuel mixture for the internal oombustion engine passes from passage `24 through the holes 34, slots 35 and 36, through the passage 22. Since the plates 31 and 32 are only cut away as at 35 and 36, there are provided central portions 38 having holes 39 in the center thereof which are 'adapted to receive the reduced portions 40 of spools 41, the ends of which extend through the holes 39 and abut one another. Spools 41 are spirally grooved to receive heating coils 42 and 43, each of which have one end there` of connected respectively to plates 31 and32' by rivets 46. The other ends of the coils 42A and 43 merge into loops 44 and 45, respective-v ly. A bolt 47 extends through loop 44, spools 41, loop 45 and is adapted when tightened by nuts 48 to hold the spools 41-V in position with respect to the plates'31 and 32and to electrically connect the ends ofthe coils 42 and 43. f
Each plate is and when one o said plates is reversed, the ears will be spaced from one another as is clearly shown in Fig. 3. Ears project beyond the flanges 25 and 26 whereby the electrical conductors 61 and 62 can be readily attached thereto. It will be noted that the portions at which the lamin 33 and plates 31 and 32 are riveted together project beyond the members 20 and 23 and are not engaged thereby, ,whereby these members 20 and 23 will not have electrical connections with the rivets 55. An electrical circuit to the heating coils includes conduc- 44 bolt 47, loop 45, coil 43, rivets 46, plate 32 and conductor 62.l
Lamin 33 and lates 31 and 32 are provided with align holes 62, 63 and 64 respectively. The holes 63 in the lamin 33 are substantially the same diameter as that of the shank of the bolt 27 whereby the'unit 30 is located properl with respect to head 2O and intake 23.v he holes 63 and 64 in the conductor plates are somewhat larger in diameter than the shanks of the bolts 27 whereby the said bolts.
Certain advantages vare apparent inthe present invention, one of which is the proplates 31 and 32 will not engage v vision of a heating coil unit which can be inserted between the cylinder head of an vengine and the intake, the electrical connection'tlierefor extending-from the unit between these members whereby it is notrovided with an ear 60..
