7 L. H. KIRKPATRICK l FUEL MIXER FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES I Filed Jan. 24, 1925 1&
FUEL MIXER FORINTERNAL-GOMEUSTIOST ENGINES.
Application 'flled January 24, 1925p Seria1: No. 4,604.
To all, whom it may] concern:
Be it known that I, LIGE H. KIRKPATRICK, a'citizen ofthe United States, residing at Lawton, in the county of Comanche and State of Oklahoma, have invented a new and useful Fuel Mixer for Internal-Combustion Engines, of which the following is a specification.
located in the opening between the intake This invention relates to a fuel mixer for internal combustion engines designed to be manifold and the engine intake.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple and etficient device ofthis character in which thecurrent of fuel is mechanically regulated and broken into particles of vapor atthe point nearest the'compression and explosion and by meansof which the fuel is effectively vaporized before entering the engine cylinder.
fit-h the foregoing and other objects in view which willappear as the description proceeds, the invent-ion resides in the com bi nation and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings 2-- Figure lrepresents a front elevation of the device constituting this invention;
Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section thereof; and I I p A r Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail of the inter laced filaments constituting the invention.
The fuel mixer constituting this invention comprises a plurality of brushes or bunches of filaments shown at 1 .and supported :by anysuitable means whereby they may be located at the desired point for breaking up the fuel passing through them. These filav ments are fixed at one end and free at the other and are made short enough so that while they intercept all gas by their interlacing they make no fixed or bag-like construction to catch and hold dirt or solid particles of any kind which would cause a hindrance to the passage of the gasoline or other fuel. As here shown the support is in the formof a gasket ringor gland 10, the flange 11 of which is designed to be clamped between the intake manifold and the engine.
These brushes or bunches 1 may be made of any suitable material such as brass, copper,
' aluminum, steelor o ther metal and may contain any desired number of filaments, strands or the like. These, filaments may be of any shape desired. Any number of brushesl may be set in the gland, eight being shown in Fig. 1 and which are arranged in peripheral or circumferential alinement al-.
though'not necessarily so. If. desired these brushes may be arranged in series as shown in Fig. 2. V
The filaments orwires 2 of the brushes are so interlaced as-to-regulate-the flow of the fuel and increase the vaporization thereof while the ends of said filaments being free prevents clogging or'stopping of the current.
lVhile these filaments or brushes are shown mounted on a gasket ring any'suitable supporting base or means {may be provided.
'The intertangling or interlacing of the filaments providesan extended area to facilitate evaporation and volatilization of the fuel.
Thesefilaments completely cover the passage 0r conduits and while interlacing at the same time have free ends thus operatingv to thoroughly nebulize theffuel. known that in the swift flow of anyliquid or gas through a pipe ,the tendency of the liquid is toward the center of the pipe for.
the reason that at that point there is the least resistance of gravitation, cohesion, adhesion or temporary attraction and therefore any solid or gasified fuel will be drawn to that point in the pipe or conduit and more easily drawn into the engine in an ungasified condition, This objectionable feature .is
overcome in the device herein described.)
Thisattachment it will be seen is ex tremely s'impleiand may be applied by simply. detaching the manifold from thee'ngine and inserting the gasket ring containing the brushes between the manifold andtheen It is well gine and clamping it again in place. This location ofthe atomizer within. an inch or lessgof the combustion chamber avoids all ,possibility of recondensation after vapo riz ation and before ignition in the combustion chamber. This is a distinct advantage especially incold weather.
1. A device of the class described comprising a gasket ringhaving a plurality of brushes of metal strands arranged around the-perimeter on the inner face thereof, the strands of said brushes extending toward ends left free.
no each other and .being intertangled and their i c 2. In a deviceof the class described, a supporting ring adapted to be positioned 'within an intake manifold, a plurality of brushes formed of metal strand s, secured to 5 the ring and disposed in spaced relation With each other and the bristles of the brushes 10 in an intake'manifold,'a plurality of brushes messes formed of Wire material, the bristles of the brushes extending towards the center of the supporting member, and the bristles of the brushes being interwoven to restrict the passage of fuel through the manifold.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto-aflixed my signature.
LIGE H. KIRKPATRICK.
