Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 8, 1909.

Patented Apr. 12, 1910. Serial No. 494,777.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUSTIN M. WOLF, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the borough of Manhattan, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oarbureters, of'which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to such devices as are employed to vaporize a liquid hydrocarbon in connection with internal combustion engines or the like.

The object of the invention is to provide a means whereby the mixture made by the carbureter is of a uniform quality, free from condensed particles of the liquid hydrocarbon, and in a perfect state for combustion. These and other objects will be more clearly set forth with reference to the accompanying drawing, which is a sectional view of a carbureter embodying my invention.

In the desirable form of construction shown, the float-chamber A is concentric with the mixing-chamber C.

B represents the float.

The spraying nozzle D is fixed perpendicularly in the mixingchamber, as shown. The throttle valve E, actuated by the lever F, controls the volume of fuel charge. The drain-plug J allows the removal of foreign matter and also gives access to the nozzle D.

Surrounding the mixing-chamber C is a jacket Gr. Through this acket warm water circulates, as from the cooling system of the internal combustion engine. Any fluid producing the desired result can be used. Inlet and outlet ports, H and I, open into the jacket G. Bafiie plates (not shown) or equally efticient, means are provided, so that the fluid used enters the one port at the top of the jacket, flows down to the bottom of the same, then upward and out the other port. In this way, the walls of the mixingchamber are kept warm and any particles of the liquid hydrocarbon coming in contact with the same are instantly vaporized. Thus the inner wall of the jacket keeps the mixing chamber warm. The outer wall of the jacket G is directly within the floatchamber and therefore the contents of the latter are in contact with the former. The result is that the liquid in the float-chamber is kept warm. Therefore vaporization of the hydrocarbon is further aided. In this way, the hydrocarbon being warmed and the entering air also, perfect vaporization follows. As will be readily seen, warming the liquid to be'volatilized, does far more than merely warming the air; and by doing both the finest results are obtained. The single jacket, as shown, doing a double duty, makes a very compact, simple and eflicient construction.

It will be understood that parts and details of construction may be added, omitted,

modified and substituted without departing from the spirit of the invention.

I claim as my invention- 1. A carbureter for the purpose described having a float-chamber, a mixin -chamber, an air inlet leading thereto, and a jacket separate from the mixing-chamber and air inlet around said mixing-chamber and within said float-chamber.

2. A carbureter for the purpose described having a float-chamber, a mixing-chamber, an air inlet leading thereto, and a jacket separate from the mixing chamber and air inlet around and extending the length of said mixing-chamber.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name this 5th day of May, A. D. 1909.

AUSTIN M. WOLF.
