In the example shown th distributor 1! r0- Besides the main spray nozzle my carvided witha lower hole 24, a middle 0 and an upperv row of holes of suitable section and'is threaded on its upper edge for screwing thereon in an adjustable manner a frustrum-shaped cover 26.

The spray nozzle 23 is placed within a chamber 27 that tightly fits on the nozzle at its lower end, is open above and throttled to form a double cone 28 0 posite the holes 25. The chamber is rovide on one side with an adjusted air inta e 29 with which it communicates by a pipe 30 and an opening 31 formed on the throttle ring 28. The air intake 29 also communicates with the hole 24 in the lower portion of the distributor through a pipe 32, a perforated adjusting plug 33 and another pipe 34.

The chamber 1 carries on one side a pipe 37 communicating with a recess 38 cast with the body of the carburetor and communicating through a passage 39 with the suction pipe 3 opposite the throttle valve 40. The recess is screw-threaded above and encloses a tube 41 (Fig. 2) screwed thereon, carrying below an auxiliary spray nozzle 42 for the minimum engine speed and above an air intake 43, both suitably adjusted. Opposite the passage 39 the tube 41 is provided with a'groove 44 having a transversal bore.

This carburetor works as follows: On starting the engine when the number of revolutions is at its lowest, the chamber 27 is partly filled with fuel conyeyed through the conduit 2'from the chamber 1, and through the filter 21, the conduit 22, spray nozzle 23 and hole 35. Upon previous adjustment of the position of the cover 26 with respect to the throttled portion 28, the underpressure acting on the top of the chamber 27 upon an acceleration of the engine, causes the fuel to rise and to come into contact with the air flowing in through the hole 31, suitably mixing with said air. The mixture now immediately enters the suction ipe 3 and re idly empties the chamber 27 and the mixture l urnt by the engine is rapidly enriched and improves the engine acceleration when the number of revolutions vary.

When the engine has reached a normal i. e. a rather high number of revolutions, the chamber 27 is nearly empty and the fuel delivered by the spray nozzle'23 is subdivided through the holes 25 and 35, comes into contact with the air sucked in owing to the underpressure through the adjustedintake 29, mixes with said air and is partly pulverized and conveyed to the Venturi tube'4 already in a finely subdivided state, so that a perfectly uniform gaseous mixture is formed.

At the same time air flows through the hole 24 from the intake 29 and besides cooperating to form the mixture fills the important ofiice of reducing and thus partly compensating the under ressure acting on the top of the chamber 2 with the result of exertin a braking action on the fuel delivery at igh numbers of revolutions of the engine, thereby making the mixture less rich and bringing it to its normal com osition.

By suitabl adjusting the bore 0 the air intake 29, o the openings provided in the distributor 23a and the position of the frustrum-shaped cover 26 a suitable compensation of the mixture is effected at the various numbers of revolutionsof the engine with a considerable economy in the consumption of fuel.

It is clear that in order to improve the mixing action of the chamber 27, one or more suitably perforated cones may be provided in the interior of same, for the purpose of a thorough subdivision of the fuel issuing from the spray nozzle.

The minmium speed appliance also ensures an eflicient preliminary mixing of fuel with air. For this purpose I carefully choose the bore of the spray nozzle 42 and of the air intake 43 of a suitable diameter and the mixture formedtherein is sucked along the passage 39 into the main suction pipe 3 opposite the throttle valve 40.

As the fuel level is above the minimum speed spray nozzle a fuel supply is always stored in the tube 41 for improving starting of the engine.
