  • the aperture 38 in the plate 32 in the preferred embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 5, comprises an elongated slot having a portion 54 at one end with a diameter which is greater than the diameter of the stem portion 52 of the dump valve.

  • the side 56 of the plate 32 facing the first chamber 34 has a coined or thinned area- 58 for reducing the thickness of the plate 32.
  • the orifice 42 is located within this area thereby reducing the length of the orifice and reducing the manufacturing time to put the orifice in the plate,
  • the orifice 42 is .005 inch long and the diameter is 0.003 inch resulting in a time delay of 28 seconds for increasing the vacuum in the second chamber 36 from O to 9.5 inches of mercury when the vacuum in the first chamber 34 is equal to 12 inches of mercury.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate a modification of the delay valve comprising a second aperture 60 in the plate located under the umbrella portion 50 of the valve and a small coined slot 62 extendingfrom the second aperture to outside the umbrella perimeter.
  • the volume of the slot 62 enclosed by the edge of the umbrella determines the time delay.
  • the second aperture 60 can also function as the check valve allowing communication when the vacuum is greater in the second chamber.

  • the filter 64 is pressed into the valve housing 24 such that all fluid flow must go through the filters 64 and cannot go around the filter housing.
  • a spring clip 76 may be used for holding the filter in the housing.
  • This filter is for removing from the fluid any liquids such as gasoline or water which may be in the vacuum line 12 coming from the carburetor and which, if not removed, would tend to clog and block the filter 64.
  • the method of fabricating the delay valve comprises the use of an electric discharge machine for boring the orifice 42 in the plate 32.
  • the plate 32 is first formed to size and shape as illustrated in FIG. 5 having the central aperture 38 and 52 formed therein. Next, a small area 58 near the outside periphery of the plate is coined to a reduced thickness.
  • the plate member 32 is positioned within an electric discharge boring machine in such a 'manner that the electron beam from the machine will pass through the coined area 58.
  • the orifice 42 is 0.003 inch in diameter.

  • the function of the vacuum valve is to delay the vacuum build-up to the distributor vacuum 18 motor. This delay occurs when the vacuum in the carburetor 16 is greater than the vacuum in the distributor vacuum motor 18. This delay functions to retard the engine spark thereby delaying the burning process in the cylinders. When the burning process is delayed the exhaust, gas temperatures are increased and peak cylinder pressures are reduced thereby reducing the amount of unburned hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust gas from the engine 22.
