2 4414 f/QZ/wv 7 United States Patent 3,224,174 AIR-FEED DEVHCE FUR CARBURETORS James A. Erbstoesser, (Ihieago, 111., assignor of one-third to Stevens, Lehrer & Stevens, and one-third to isadore M. Bernstein, both of Chicago, Ill.
Filed Nov. 29, 1962, Ser. No. 241,068 2 Claims. (Cl. 55-418) This invention relates to the air intake tubes of carburetors, and more particularly to the means for treating the air entering therein. Usually, an accessory called an air cleaner is mounted on the air intake tube to serve as the means referred to; and the main function of this accessory is to check the passage of dust particles and foreign matter into the intake tube. Some air cleaners employ screens for this purpose, others and oil content, and still others both of these facilities. However, the conventional air cleaner contains tortuous or deep undulating passages in its annular region, where atmospheric air enters for travel toward the central region of the air cleaner, so that such travel extends in opposite directions before the air reaches that region for passage into the air intake tube of the carburetor. Since air cleaners are one foot or larger in diameter, it follows that their peripheral walls and internal partitions present a considerable surface resistance to the air currents drawn through the air cleaner, causing more fuel to be drawn into the carburetor than is necessary for the efficient operation of the engine. This condition also creates carbon deposits in the engine cylinders.
In view of the above condition, it is one object of the present invention to replace the conventional air cleaner with an air-feed device which eliminates narrow or undulating passages presenting resistance to the travel of the air toward the air intake tube of the carburetor.
A further object is to provide an air feed device formed with an outer chamber which receives atmospheric air in a spacious entrance and leads it with a direct circular motion into the center region of the device for communication with the air intake tube.
Another object is to form the device with a receiving chamber having an opening in front when the device is installed in a motor car, such opening being in the direct path of forced air currents from the engine fan.
An additional object is to design the top portion of the device in a manner to utilize the forced air currents from the engine fan for creating a partial vacuum in the region where air enters the device, in order to intensify the flow and increase the volume of such air.
A still further object is to provide means within the device which exert a gradual centering and equalizing influence on the air directed toward the intake tube, with a view to maintaining a uniform and steady airfeed into the same.
A further object is to incorporate a screening element between the receiving and feeding zones of the device.
A better understanding of the invention may be gained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a fragmental side elevation of an engine installation in a motor car showing the air-feed device mounted above the carburetor;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section of the device;
FIG. 3 is a fragmental top view, partly broken away;
FIG. 4 is a front view; and
FIG. 5 is a view of a modification, partly in section.
Referring specifically to the drawings, denotes the engine of the motor car, 11 its carburetor, 12 the airintake tube of the latter, and 13 the engine fan.
The air-feed device is preferably circular in form, and consists mainly of an upper unit 15 and a lower one 16, the material of the units being sturdy sheet metal.
The unit 15 is of toroidal form and open on the under "ice side, one p0rtion-the frontal one when the device has been installed-being shallow, as defined at 18, while the rear portion depends with a rounded wall 19 to the extent indicated at 21. The center outer region of the upper unit is closed by a top plate 15a; and a disc 23 forms a bottom, these parts adding to the rigidity of the upper unit.
The lower unit 16 is centered within the upper one, and has a frusto-conical or funnel-shape. The inclination of the funnel wall with respect to the axis thereof is preferably 45 degrees, as illustrated, although the angle may be varied slightly under different conditions. The upper end of the unit 16 receives a ring 25 with a hub 25a and spider 2512 as a frame for a fine layer of wire netting 27, the ring being secured removably to the unit 16 by clips 28 or other suitable means. The framed netting makes a stiff and sturdy air screen or filter.
When the device is assembled, the center disc 23 rests on the screen 25, and the latter therefore serves to support the upper unit 15 in the position of a hood around the lower one. The screen receives a downwardly-pointed cone 32 of solid metalor other suitable material underneath the hub 25a; and the sides of the cone form a downward continuation of the inner wall 15b of the upper unit 15 to extend the curvature thereof to a point.
The plate 15a and disc 23 are joined by a vertical tubular web 33, which is tapped for threading the upper unit on a center screw 3211 rising from the cone 32. When such unit has been screwed down, it fastens the cone to the screen; and the cone therefore becomes joined rigidly to the upper unit. However, a wing nut 35 is applied to the upper end of the screw in order to counteract tendencies of the upper unit to turn or loosen from vibration.
The lower unit 16 terminates at the bottom with a center rim 16a, which is of a diameter to slide over the mouth of the intake tube 12, and is split at 16b for fastening to the tube by a clamp 37.
The present device does not require that the air entering it be warm, although this will improve the operation of the engine. Ordinarily, the air in the engine compartment is quite warm during the travel of the motor car. However, a modified form of the device, shown in FIG. 5, is more suitable for winter driving. Thus, the funnelshaped unit 16 may be made with a hollow wall to receive a conduit 38 leading from a box 39 attached to the exhaust manifold 10a of the engine 10. A branch 38a leading upwardly into the conduit may be flared at its front end, as shown at 38b, to utilize forced air from the conduit 38 into the wall of the unit 16. The latter will have an escape vent 1612 at a remote point to maintain a circulation of warm air in the wall space.
It will now be apparent that the present device responds to the suction in the carburetor from a wide environment, with a view to feeding an increased volume of air to the carburetor. Thus, the wall 19 is wide open toward the front to receive the direct draft of air from the engine fan; and the sides and rear of such wall pocket the air and deflect it gradually by the curvature of the wall in upward direction. Then the air currents rounding the center curves of the unit 15 are joined by air currents entering from below at the front and sides, due to the partial vacuum created below the unit 15 by the pressure of the air draft or air-foil from the fan over the curved front and sides of the unit 15. Such front and the body of the unit 16as seen in FIG. 4meet water-spray and dust that may enter the engine compartment from the front during inclement or stormy weather, and check such spray and dust from entering the carburetor by way of the airfeed device. In the present case a simple structure is used for receiving a relatively large volume of air and directing it into the intake tube of the carburetor. Further, the wide curvature of the top chamber of the upper unit promotes the inward flow of air with a minimum of surface friction, while the cone 32 and converging wall of the lower unit train the flowing and cross-currents of air with a centering and uniform flow into the carburetor. The action just described makes for a forced air-feed responsive with both speed and ample volume to augment the regular flow induced by carburetor suction. As a result, the demand for fuel is lessened considerably, and a marked saving thereof accomplished.
While I have described the invention and its modification in specific terms, various further changes and refinements may be made therein without departing from the principle of the invention, and I reserve the right to employ all such changes and refinements as may fall within the scope and spirit of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. An air feed device for attachment to the air-intake suction tube of a carburetor of an internal combustion engine, comprising in combination, an upper unit connected to a lower unit;
said lower unit comprising an upwardly flared, frustoconical element having upper and lower ends providing air-ingress and air-egress portions,
