6 Claims.
This invention relates to mufllers for internal combustion engines, the principal object being to provide a muflier which is effective in operation and which causes a minimum amount of back pressure. The mufller is so constructed that while the exhaust is silenced, the consumption of fuel is reduced thereby efiecting a saving in the cost of operating the engine.
A-further object of the invention is the provision of a tubular mufller having a series of perforated tubular members arranged in a casing and having means for admitting air to fill the vacuum caused by the outgoing exhaust gases to prevent objectionable reactions.
Another object of the present invention is a mufiler that is very economical and simple of construction, durable and easily installed, and which will not readily deteriorate or get out of order.
With these general objects in view, together with other objects which will appear during the course of the specification, reference will now be had to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal, sectional view of a mufiler embodying this invention.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the exhaust end of the muffler.
Fig. 3 is an elevation of the intake end of the muffler.
Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view taken on line IV-IV of Fig, 1.
Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view taken on line V-V of Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 is an end elevation of the adjustable gasket used in uniting the mufller with engine exhaust and the exhaust pipe; and
Fig. '7 is an enlarged fragmentary section of one of the perforated bafile walls of the tubular member or of the frusto-conical walls.
Throughout the specification like reference characters designate similar parts and the numeral l0 indicates a jacket or casing, of any suitable size or shape, having end closure plates l2 and l4,-which are securely attached to the jacket by welding or any other of the well known means.
End plate I2 is provided with an opening I through which is extended an outlet tube It, which extends on both sides of the plate and is provided at its inner portion, positioned within the jacket, with perforators 20. That portion of it outside the jacket has an annular internal brad 22 against which is adjusted a suitable gasket 24. Gasket 24 as shown is made by rolling a strip of non-inflammable material, such as plate l4 to a point spaced apart from plate I2,
is an intermediate, perforated, tubular baflle wall member 28 which is spaced apart from the inner wall of jacket ill to form a compartment 30. Fitted over the inner end of 28 is perforated frusto-conical bafiie wall 32 which has its enlarged end portion in direct contact with the inner wall of jacket in and its reduced open end directed toward the exhaust end-of the muffler. The notches 34 in the inner end of 28 facilitate proper release of the gases from this intermediate tube.
Positioned in intermediate tube 28 is a perforated frusto-conical baffle wall member 36 which is pointed toward the exhaust end of the mufiier and has its enlarged end positioned against the inner wall of 28. An inner perforated tubular member 38 is fitted at its inner end into 36 and extends outwardly through opening 40 formed in end plate l4 to a point therebeyond. The inner portion of 38 is perforated as at 42 to allow the passage of exhaust gases into chamber 44, which is formed between the intermediate and inner tubular wall members. Tubular wall 38 has slots 46 formed in its inner end. For the purpose of attaching the mufller to the engine exhaust pipe the outwardly extended portion of 38 is provided with an annular inturned bead 48, slots 50 and gasket 52 similar to that described on tube Hi.
It has been found to great advantage to introduce into inner tube 38 a supply of' outside air to prevent the formation of objectionable vacuums and to cool the incoming hot exhaust gases. The cooling operation facilitates the mufiiing or silencing by reducing the volume of gas by reducing its temperature. This is accomplished by passing an open duct 54 through opening 56 formed in the outer portion of tube 38 and into said tube to a point intermediate its outer end and the perforated portion thereof. With each pulsation of the gases past the inner end of duct 54 a quantity of cool air will be drawn into the mufller.
The ,baflling tubes and conical walls are provided with perforations 4|, more clearly shown in the enlarged view I, which are formed by punching the metal inwardly, thus producing a smooth outside surface and a roughened inside surface which serves to direct the flow of exhaust gases in such a manner as to prevent back pressure and the formation of undue vacuum efiects.
It is obvious that with this structure a muffler is produced that will receive and silence the outgoing engine gases with a minimum of back pressure.
