  • a bimetallic spiral spring 24 is formed with an inner end portion 26 (see FIG. 5) within the slot 22.
  • the outer end of the spring 24 is connected to the end portion 16 of arm 14.
  • the structure thus far described is conventional and, as is well known, when the spring 24 is cold, it assumes a shape and position holding the choke valve 8 substantially closed, that is, extending across the passageway 6.
  • the spring 24 When the spring 24 is heated it expands and, through arm 14, rotates the choke valve 8 to an open position.
  • heat generally originating at the exhaust manifold of the engine is conducted to the interior of the cover 18 to provide the necessary heat for the spring 24 as the engine warms up.
  • heat conducting means are subject to failure and blockage and do not provide reliably efficient and proper response of the spring 24.
  • the support shaft 20 is fixedly secured to a metal cup 28 securely and fixedly mounted in an opening 30 in cover 18.
  • an electrical heating device 32 is fixedly mounted to the cup member 28.
  • the heating device 32 may be either a conventional electrical resistance element or a positive temperature coefficient thermistor (PTC).
  • PTC positive temperature coefficient thermistor
  • a suitable ground conductor 34 is electrically connected to the shaft 10 and electrically connected to the metal portions of the engine, constituting a ground. Such grounding could be provided by conductive bushings 12, conductive lubricants, or the like.

  • the securement is such as to provide good heat conductivity between the thermistor and its supports and good electrical connection therebetween.
  • the assembly of thermistor 36 and its supports is shown in greater detail in FIG. 2.
  • one end of each element 38 and 40 is provided with an opening 42 by which the assembly is mounted on the engine block 2.
  • supports 38 and 40 are held to the engine block by a bolt or the like 44 but are electrically insulated from the engine block by suitable insulating spacers 46.
  • the other ends of the support members 38 and 40 are formed as terminal lugs 48 and 50.
  • the heating means 32 is also provided with a terminal lug member 52 thereon in electrical contact therewith. As shown, the terminal lug 52 is electrically connected to terminal lug 50 and terminal lug 48 is electrically connected to one side of a source of electrical power represented in FIG. 1 by battery 54. The other terminal of the battery is connected to ground (some portion of the engine block or attachments). While a battery 54 is indicated herein, it is to be understood that it represents a suitable source of electrical power, which may include suitable voltage control or regulating devices and/or current limiting resistors.
  • the electrical heating device 32 is shown as being enclosed by a suitable protective material 56, such as an epoxy resin or the like, as is true also of other embodiments.
  • the spring 24 holds the choke valve 8 in its closed position and thermistor 36 is cold so that very little current can flow.
  • voltage is supplied to the electrical circuit just described and a small current flows from battery 24 through thermistor 36, then through heating means 32 to the support shaft 20, spring 24, arm 14 and shaft 10., and conductor 34 to ground, to which the other side of the battery is connected.
  • the thermistor 36 presents a relatively high resistance to current flow.
  • the resistance of thermistor 36 and increasing temperature of its surroundings causes it to warm up somewhat, which results in a reduction in its resistance and increase in current flow.
  • the current flow through heater 32 produces heat which is conducted directly to the spring 24, through support shaft 20, to cause the same to start expanding and to commence opening choke valve 8. Since the thermistor 36 is mounted in close proximity to the engine block, heat from the latter as the engine warms up causes a further reduction in resistance of thermistor 36 and thus more rapidly increases current flow to heater 32 to accelerate opening of the choke valve as engine tempera ture increases. When the parts reach normal operating temperature, current continues to flow through heating means 32 to thus hold the choke valve open during engine operation.
  • the contact between spring 24 and its support shaft 20 and between the spring and arm portion 16 of arm 14 be good electrical contact to conduct current thereacross without arcing.
  • the conductor 34 is provided to ensure good current conduction to ground without arcing. Any arcing present at the aforementioned connections could cause the parts to stick and would present a serious fire hazard, in view of the proximity to the explosive gas-air mixture in the regions of the carburetor.
  • the total resistance of the circuit through the thermistor and heating means to thebattery shall have a value of from 1.0 ohm to 2,000 ohms when the engine is at normal operating temperature. This ensures maintenance of the choke valve in open condition during engine operation.
  • the thermistor 36 is electrically insulated from the engine block 2 and current through the heating means 32 passes through spring 24 to ground.
  • FIG. 3 a modification is shown wherein the choke valve shaft and spring 24 are not used as part of the electrical circuit.
  • the heating means 22 is mounted in substantially the same manner as described with reference to FIG. 1.
  • the outer end of spring 24 is electrically insulated-from the portion 16 of arm 4 by a suitable insulating bushing 58, (best seen in FIG. 5).
  • the thermistor 36 is mounted on a single support bracket 60 serving as a support therefor and as a conductor for electrically connecting the thermistor 36 to engine block 2. Bracket 60 is secured directly to the engine block by means of a bolt 62.
  • a terminal lug 64 on thermistor 36 is electrically connected to the metal cup member 28 on which heating means 32 is mounted and the terminal lug 52 is connected to the battery 52 in the manner shown in FIG. 3. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the engine of FIG. 3 operates in identically the same manner as does the form of FIG. 1
  • FIG. 6 The modification shown in FIG. 6 is quite similar to that shown in FIG. 3 but differs in the manner of mounting the heating device 32. As shown in FIG. 6,
  • the metal cup 28 is not electrically connected to they heating device 32. It is insulated therefrom by a layer of electrical insulation 66 and a contact plate 68 is positioned against the heating device 32, which contact plate is provided with a terminal lug 70. In this-form the current passes through only the heating device 32, then to the thermistor 36. As in the form shown in FIG. 3, in-
  • sulating means 58 is provided between the spring 24 and the portion 16 of arm 14, but insulation 58 is not required if insulator 66 is used. It may be desirable to omit insulator 66 for better heat conduction to shaft 20.
  • numeral 72 designates a portion of the manifold of the engine, having a well 74 therein and into which a portion of the spring 24 extends.
  • the spring support shaft 20 and heating means 32 are directly connected to a bracket 76.
  • the bracket 76 is electrically insulated from the manifold, by insulating means 78.
  • the contact member 52 is in firm electrical contact with the heating means 32 and connected to the battery while bracket 76 is connected to lug 64.
  • this form of the invention also includes electrical insulation between the end of spring 24 and the portion 16 of arm 14 and a housing or cover (not shown) is provided.
  • the cover 18 is provided with a large opening 86 in its side wall and that opening is substantially filled by a plug or wall member 88 formed of electrical resistance material.
  • the spring support shaft 20 is mounted directly in the wall portion 88 to be in good heat conductive contact therewith.
  • a metallic ring 90 is embedded in the outer periphery of the wall portion 88 in good electrical contact therewith and is further provided with a terminal lug 92 connected to one side of the battery 54.
  • the outer end of spring support shaft 20 is provided with a terminal lug 94 electrically connected to the terminal lug 64 of thermistor 36.
