Each of the ejectors 28, 21, 28 are of like form; each consists of a rear or follower portion 32 and a frusto-conical or tapered front or leading portion 33 of less length than the portion 32. The rear or follower end edge of the portion 32 is beveled in a manner to form a frusto-conical or tapered edge surface 34. The outer periphery of the portion 33 is formed with spiral grooves 35 providing gas conducting passages leading from the outer to the inner side of an ejector.
The edge surface 34 of ejector 26 encompasses in spaced relation the portion 39 of the ejector 25. The edge surface 34 of the ejector 21 encompasses in spaced relation the portion 33 of the ejector 28 and the edge surface 34 of the ejector 28 encompasses in spaced rel'ationthe portion 33 ot the ejector 21.
The mufller includes a nozzle 38 formed of a tubular discharge member 31 of the desired length and diameter having a frusto-conical leading end terminal portion 38 and an annular head 39 formed with tapered leading and follower end edges 49, 4| respectively. The rear terminal portion of the member 31 extends into and is secured to the head 39. The edge 4| of the head 39 encompasses in spaced relation the portion 33 of the ejector 28.
The housing portion I9 encompasses and is secured to the outer periphery of the head 39 of the nozzle 38. The leading end of housing portion I9 is arranged in close proximity to the edge 49 of head 39. I
The ejectors, other than the ejector 25, are formed on the outer peripheries of their portions 32 with a, pair of oppositely disposed diametrically opposed laterally extending lugs 42, 43 formed with inclined threaded openings 44. The lugs 42 align with each other. The lugs 43 align with each other. The lugs 42, 43 are disposed at a forward inclination with respect to the aforesaid portions 32. The openings 44 in the lugs 42 align. The openings 44 in the lugs 43 align. There is correlated with the lugs 42 a headed combined holding and adjusting rod 45 for the ejectors 28, 21 and 28. There is correlated with the lugs 43 a headed combined holding and adjusting rod 48 for the ejectors 28, 21 and 28. The rods 45, 48 correlate with the lugs 42, 43 for suspending the ejectors 28, 21, 28 in the housing portion 8 and for maintaining such ejectors in spaced relation, as well as for adjusting the space between the ejector 25 and ejector 28, between the ejectors 28, 21, 28 and between the ejector 28 and the head 39 of the nozzle 38.
The rods 45, 48 extend through the openings II of housing portion I9, through the openings 44 in the lugs 42, 43 and threadedly engages in the bosses I5 and openings I4. The heads 41 of the rods 45, 48 abut the leading side of the nunsing portion I9. The rod 45 has spaced groups of threads 48 which threadedly engage with the threads of the openings 44 of the lugs 42. The rod 48 is formed with spaced groups of threads .49 which threadedly engage with the threads of the openings 44 of the lugs 43. There is correlated with each lug 42 or 43 a pair 0! locking nuts 59 disposed on each side of a lug and threadedly engaging with. a rod 45 or 48.
The housing portion 8 in connection with the ejector 25 provides a receiving or reservoir chamber 5| for the exhaust gases and these latter are supplied to the chamber 5| by an exhaust gas conducting pipe 52 of angle-shape form which leads from the motor or engine. The pipe 52 includes a horizontal leg 53 and a vertical leg 54; the latter opens into the chamber 5| and is secured to the wall of opening I3 of housin portion 8. The housing portions 8, 9 and I9 in connection with the ejectors 28, 21, 28 and nozzle head 39 form a leading extension or continuation 55 of the chamber 5|. The leading and of continuation 55 is closed by housing portion I9. The rods 45, 48 extend through the continuation 55 and the chamber 5|.
The modified form 58 shown by Figure 3 is similar in construction to the form shown by Figure 1, with this exception that the nozzle 51 of the form 58 has connected to its leading end a tail pipe 58 consisting of a tubular member 59 integral at its follower end with the frustoconical outer part 89 of nozzle 51 and at its leading. end merging into a flared member 8| which terminates at its leading end into the follower end of a frusto-conical member 82, a frusto-conical member 83 of greater length than. surrounding in spaced relation and extending rearwardly and forwardly from member 82, a tubular member 84 merging at its follower end into the leading end of member 83 and its leading end merging into the follower end of a flared member 85 which terminates at its leading end into the follower end of a frusto-conical member 66, a irusto-conical member 61 of greater length than, surrounding in spaced relation and extending rearwardly and forwardly from member 66 and a discharge pipe 68 merging at its follower end into the leading end of member 61. The members 63 and 61 having their inner peripheries formed with spiral blades or vanes 69 which coact with the outer peripheries of the members 62, 66 to form air conducting passages 10 of spiral form leading from the atmosphere to the member 64 and to the discharge pipe 68. The members 63, 61 are suitably connected to the members 62, 66 respectively. Otherwise than that as stated the construction of the form 56 will be the same as that referred to in connection with the form shown by Figure 1.
The space between the ejectors is shown somewhat exaggerated by the drawing. The ejectors are spaced slightly apart whereby when the muiiier is used there will be practically only a clear of a sixteenth of an inch more or less between the tapered portions, adjusted to volume and pressure varied to the capacity of the engine. The tapered portion of each ejector being confined to the thickness of the body of the latter and the spirals on the tapered portion being cut in the latter, whereby there will not be on the inside of the ejectors corners or offsets to hinder the forward movement of the air and gases. The gases enter from the receiving or pressure chamber into the openings or slits formed between the tubular portion of a leading ejector-and the tapered portion of a follower ejector.
The exhaust gases enter the outer chamber at an angle, the gases stock up in the chamber 5i around the point of entry, rotate about the periphery of the ejectors, thereby causing the pressure of the gases to distribute itself evenly in case of a very light pressure the tendency of the gases would be to run through the grooves of g the first ejector, but in caseof a strong pressure the tendency of the gases would be to run to the extreme end of the extension 55 of the chamber 5i and then through the grooves of the ejectors furthest away from the point of entry, the excess of the gases would run through the grooves of the ejector second furthest away from the entry,
- and so on until the gases have divided itself, and ultimately feeds through all the grooves of all the ejector heads into the interior of the ejectors. The passage of the exhaust gases through the ejector of the series, results inadivision of the hot exhaust gases into very fine streams, with a division of the pressure iiripulses into fine streams, which division tends to divide and .dissipate the sound waves carried by the gases.
The rotation oi'the gases about each ejector results in the formation of a complete circle of gases about the electors as the gases whirl to a center in the chamber ahead of each ejector,
setting up a series of vertexes, forming pockets,
of hot gases, of lessened pressure to the rear, which fill up as avoid drawing the cold air from the air inlet leading through the grooves between the frusto-conical members, into the air chambenpast the first ejector, the mixture beil'lli drawn by the vortex created past the second ejector and so on through the course of travel of the mixture successivelyfthrough ear-2h ejector.
The sheet of the cold air drawn into the pocket of hot gases of the vortex created by action of the first ejector, causes partial expansion of the cold air, the speed of the moving mixture preventing complete expansion, whereupon the effect of the contact of the mixture with the hot gases in the vortex created by action of the. sec-,
' are prevented from passing through by reason of this packing in of gases and air, these packings taking place each time the expansion is repeated and successively sothat the echo can not pass through and out to the outside.
The mixture of hot gases and air having been well expanded after passing through the length of the ejector series and after spinning through the nozzle, creates a condition in the nozzle of greatly lightened pressure, which removes obstruction or hindrance to the drawing in of great-' er volume of cold air through the air ,inlet and into the inside of the ejector series, so that there is always a steady stream of air and gases going through, and the passageway of the gases and air is always filled, so that the echo cannot get through the usual make and break that would otherwise occur in the pressure impulses of the gases, which would otherwise allow the echo of the explosion noises to come through and pass out to the outside. I
The steadiness and constancy of flow intercepts the passage of the sound waves and per. mits a steady flow at the exit into the atmosphere.
Figure 4 shows a plurality of air inlets, in such number and in such position on the tail pipe for the purpose of effecting a further reduction in pressure of the mixture. The mixture will draw in air through the spiraled grooves on the face of the inlet walls so as to cool the mixture further and thereby reduce the pressure. The reduction in pressure will overcome the friction of the moving mixture against the walls of the tail pipe. This promotes a more rapid expulsion of the gases. exit of the tail pipe they would be well expanded, cooled and little above atmospheric pressure.
The spiraled grooves on the air inlets along the tail pipe, as well as at the inlet to the muiiler proper are deeper and wider at their leading ends, and narrower and shallower at their inner or follower ends, tapering inwardly so as to pack the air in. The force of the air being drawn in keeps the echo from backing out. The spiral grooves make a longer wall against the backing out than the straight groove would.
The cutting of the tapered spirals on the thickness of the tubing gives a free, unhampered right of way to the moving mixture. The tapering of the interior of the series of ejectors inwardly keeps the flow steady, keeps the ejector filled, and. causes an increased velocity of the mixture to take the gases away, rather than to permit undue expansion at that point.
The construction and operation of the muiller reduces the hazard of carbon monoxide gas, by
