Maw, Guiseley," England Application March 21, 194.6; Serial No. 656,066 In Great Britain J'uly 26;1945' 5 Claims;
Our-inventiomin or relatingtocarburettersfermotor vehicles has particular reference tovide; behind-: the' radiator; a conical or funnel-- mouthed tubular-member, the larger end of Wh ic'h f-will beiopposed to'the hot air stream induoed thrOugh 'the-radiatQr-by the cooling fan; whilst-its-smaller end fits in or over or is suitably connected' to the primary air inlet to the carburetter.
Thus; instead of the carburetter depending forits supply upon the vacuum in the in duction pipe. it'will receive a supply of warm air under a-=pressure-which will vary with the speed of the engine.
Incorporated-inthe device is a filter of such construction that a portionof the air stream is utilized to discharge-anyparticlesof, dirt or gritt which may be carried into the filter.
Irv-the accompanying drawing; Fi'gi l is a sectional elevation of one practical embodimentofthe. invention, suitable. for use. when I the: improved primaryair supply device. canlbeflocatedion the same side 0f the engine ofi'sa motor. vehicle as the carburetter;
Figs 2.; shows a formof construction which maybe employed where the supply device for the primary't'airicannot, to=-the: best advantage, be locatedionutheisame -side of the engine as the.
carburetter;
Referring to the drawing, a. represents 'a tubular member, preferably though not necessarilyv of fcircul'ar cross-section, having a frusto-conical orr'funnel-shaped inlet end a and. .its opposite en'd lia. closed; Ata suitable point in the length Of- -th'eimember a -ther 'isprovided an outlet 0. adaptedta. be: fitted over, orappropriately con nectedrto; theprimary-air inlet of the carburetter.
of: as motor vehicle:
Within. the. member a: there is provided an inneror 'filter member' b of gauze or equivalent perforated material-and of such smaller diameter theiouterrmemher: that an annular space:
oft suitable thickness. or area-is provided between the? two' m'embers.
Theiendiof 'the perforatedfilter member 17 21 with a fru-sto-conical inlet "member 0 which closes the end of the annulus between the members-a and b'.
The end of the perforated filter member b- 1 oppositeto the-inlet isclosed as at b with the exception of a" relatively small-opening b near itsbottom. The filter member b is, as shown, preferably made slightlyirusto-conical in form,
with'the smaller end adjacent the inlet. The result of :such auconstructi'on is that the bottom ofz'theinteriorcsurface:ofsthe said filter member slopes idownwardlyztowardsmhe opening 13 Any particlespf dirt -or grit whichmay be drawn into' theifilter. will thus tendtto gravitate towards and: be expelledthrough'the'opening 22 A nozzle,
b -with::a restrictedroutlet orifice b may be provided.toverutheeopeningb The device is suitablysupportednin rear of the radiator of a I vehicle" and preferably on that side oft-the engine from which the usual cooling fan is rotating-downwardly; this location being found to give the best results. The-distance of;
the-inletend a'from-therear-iace of the radiator willhnecessarily: be 'govern'ed to a certain extent bycircumstances, .thatis -to say by-the construction-and arrangement of the engine of the vehicle concerned: Ifconvenient; it may be so located that the-outlet a3 can-be applied directly into or. .overthe primary air inlet tothe carburetten Ifthis is nOticOnVenient, a'suitablepipe connection' may; be made between'the supply device and vthe carburetter.
Air entering..,the.inlet a. is concentrated and forced .to. flow with increased velocity' through th'erfilterab to the-.air-intake of the carburetter, andthe greater the quantity; of demanded by the:.:engine-,.that is:to,.say the greater the speed ofethefvehicle thegreater will .bethe volume of airqsupplied-i In cases zwhereit is-znecessary or desirable to haveastheainlet to: the improved primary air supplyg'devicecon the .opposite: side of the engine to the carburetter, as constructional arrangement such astthat shown. in Fig. 2 may be adopted.
* In. thiszcasethe-filter member-b; instead of being in line with the inlet end :of -thedeviceextends atrightranglesto lit-(or at any such other angle asrmaysbe convenient).
As before; a'frusto-conical :member' 0. connects theuiniet withthe-filter .member I) The outlet a .for;thezfilteredzaimis, in this instance, shown as being-at. the end or .thedevice instead of being locatedaata point .inxthe length of the member.
(1153,83 inzFiggil... The :connection between .the outletia anditheeair intake to:-the-;carburetter will,v
of course, depend upon the location of the latter on the engine. For some vehicles, it may be preferable to have the air outlet disposed at some point along the length of the member a as in Fig. 1 and the outlet for grit and dirt in an otherwise closed end of the filter member b, also as in Fig. 1.
Whilst we have shown the filter as being located in and forming part of the air collecting and concentrating member, it will be apparent that it need not necessarily be so located but may be included in the connection to the air inlet of the carburetter. For many reasons, however, the constructions shown are to be preferred.
Whilst being extremely simple and easy to apply, the air-collecting, concentrating, filtering and delivering device according to the invention has been found to improve markedly the fuelconsumption figures of a variety of different makes of motor vehicles.
Have thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
