To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SEYMOUR W. PEREGRINE, a citizen oi the United States, residing at Portland, hhiine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carburetors, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to carburetors and is designed to provide a simple and effective construction having a maximum capacity and which. will produce a uniform quality of the carbureted'fiuid.

The invention consists in the features and combination and arrangementof parts hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings,Figure 1 is a perspective view of the apparatus with interior parts shown in dotted lines. 2 is a cross sectional view with parts shown in elevation and showing a modified arrange ment of strainers or condensers in the dome. Fig. 3 a detail sectional view showing the manner of securing the textile strainers in place. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the airinlet pipe and the pipe or chamber within which the air mingles with the oil. I

In these drawings, 1 indicates a tank of any suitable form, which in the present embodiment of my invention I show as of cylindrical shape, arranged in a horizontal position. This tank is adapted to contain a body of oil or gasolenc, which, in the normal operation of the apparatus reaches to the level of the line :cy. An air pipe 2 extends through one end of the tank longitudinally of the same to about the center thereof, where it is turned downwardly, reaching to near the bottom of the tank and well below the oil level. At its lower end this air inlet pipe is coupled to branches 3, 4, extending longitudinally near the bottom of the tank, the said branches being closed by a cap 5 at their ends, but berations directing the air current in different directions.

Surrounding the air pipe branches 3, 4, there is a pipe'or chamber 6 of sufficient diameter to leave a space around the air pipe into which the air therefrom dis charges. The horizontal chamber or pipe 6 is coupled at its ends to vertical pipes or extensions 7 by means of the couplings 8, the arrangement being such that the vertical pipes 7 extend above the oil. The chamber formed by the pipes 6 and 7 is closed against the inlet of oil thereto excepting at the center of the pipe or charm her 6 where an opening 9 is provided on each side of the said pipe or chamber of sufficient size to admit the proper quantity of oil to be taken up by the issuing from the perforations in the horizontal pipe sectionsE and 4. i The area of these oil inlets to the pipe or chamher 6 as compared with the combined area of the air inlet perforations is such that a proper couuningling oi the airand oil will take place and a uniform quality of gaswill be produced by reason-oi this properly proportioned supply of oil and air, it being understood that the air is admitted under a constant pressure.

Above the oil level and at the top of the tank I suspend a series of layers of burlap or other suitable textile fabric, each two sheets of burlap being riveted as shown at 10, to strips of iron indicated at 11 and these strips are then riveted as at 12 to the wall of the tank. The layers of burlap may be of various forms and depend at their central portions preferably in the form of an extended V, and in order to hold them in this shape they are weighted down at their central portions by means of strips 13, preferably of iron, said strips being suitably secured to the burlap.

There is a space 1.4 above the burlap layers and with this space the gas pipe 15 connects, said gas pipebeing secured to the central upper portion of the tank.

The mixed oil and air issuing from the vertical pipes or chamber extensions 7 into the space between the upper surface of oil and the burlap layers is caused to pass through the said burlap layers before reaching the space I body of oil. in the tank, W ich action is accelerated by the Vshape oi the burlap layers, causing the moisture to collect in drops at the apex of the layers to fall therefrom into the body of oil. The metal strips 13 at the center of the burlap layers hold the same in propcrform for this action and prevents the air pressure from raising the said layers.

It will be noticed iron) Fig. 3 that the layers of burlap are held separate from each other and are not arranged as'one mass.

It will be seen from the above that in producing the gas I avoid passing the air through the entire body of oil as has heretofore been the practice and instead of this I bring the proper quantity of air into contact with the limited and proper quantity of the oil, thereby I secure more uniform results, giving the apparatus a capacity for producing a greater amount of gas for a longertime and making the apparatus generally more efiicient.

At the top of the tank I prefer to form a dome 16 in which layers or sheets of metal or burlap are arranged vertically at 19 as shown in Fig. l or as indicated at l7, and from this dome the gas pipe extends. This dome will act as a condense; to take out moisture and holds. supply of comparatively dry gas. The gas chargedair passes into this dome through the openings 18.

i arrange battle plates 19 in the domc forming a circuitous path for the carbureted air therein.

1 do not wish to limit myself to the combination of the dome and the burlap layers at the top of the tank.

I do not wish to limit myself to the burlap as other material may be used.

As shown in Fig; 2 I place bent pipe traps at 20 which will let out thegasoiex'ie from thedome end dlschalrgeit back into the main chamber h ile et the sam time they will not allow the air to fiasethiougli theih the dome. Such a trap can be used with either arrange ment of strainers.
