| Abstract:
My invention relates to Vaporizers for use in connection with internal-combustion engines.
In the operation of internal-combustion engines it is desirable when the engine is first started and is still cold that the air should be very highly carbureted, and when the engine has gained headway and the cylinder and piston have become hot the gas should contain a smaller proportion of hydrocarbon that is, should not be so highly carbureted. It has been customary heretofore in many engines of this type to secure proper proportion of hydrocarbon in the gas and to maintain a mixture of the desired quality by regulating the feed of the liquid; but this method is unsatisfactory in that it is possible to secure the desired results only by experimenting and constantly altering the feed to correspond with the changing conditions.
It is the object of my invention to provide a vaporizer, which will enable me to secure the desired quality of gas and to maintain a proper mixture under all conditions of the weather without changing or regulating the gasolene-feed.
Claims:
1. In a vaporizer for internal-combustion engines, the combination with the mixing chamber and the liquid-feed regulator, of an inlet-nozzle in said mixing-chamber, radially arranged air-inlets in said mixing-chamber above and below said nozzle, means for opening and closing said air-inlets and a deflector between said upper and lower inlets, substantially as described.
2. In a vaporizer for internal-combustion engines, the combination with the mixing chamber, and a feed-nozzle therein of a spraying-rod normally located within the discharge opening of said nozzle, said rod being of less diameter than said opening and uniform throughout its length, substantially as described.
3. In a vaporizer for internal-combustion engines, the combination with the mixing chamber and a feed-nozzle therein, of a cylindrical casing within said chamber and surrounding said nozzle, radially-arranged openings in said casing above and below said nozzle, a valve for regulating said openings and means for operating said valve, substantially as described.
4. In a vaporizer for internal-combustion engines, the combination with a mixing-chamber and a feed-nozzle therein, of a cylindrical casing within said chamber and surrounding said nozzle, an annular passage surrounding said casing, radially-arranged openings connecting said chamber with said passage above and below said nozzle, a valve for regulating said openings and means for operating said valve, substantially as described.
5. In a vaporizer for internal-combustion engines, the combination with an outer casing, a feed-nozzle therein, an air-inlet into said casing, an inner casing and radially-arranged openings in said inner casing, of a sliding member between said inner and outer casings, adapted to open and close said openings, substantially as described.
6. In a vaporizer for internal combustion engines, a mixing-chamber comprising an outer casing having an air-inlet, an inner casing, a feed-nozzle, two series of radially-arranged openings above and below said nozzle, a sliding member located between said inner and outer casings and adapted to open and close said openings alternately and means for operating said sliding member, substantially as described.
7. In a mixing-chamber for internal-combustion engines, the combination with an outer casing having an air-inlet and a feed-nozzle therein of a cylindrical inner casing surrounding said feed-nozzle, openings in the circumferential wall of said inner casing above and below said nozzle, a sliding member surrounding said inner casing, openings in the vertical wall thereof adapted to open and close the upper and lower openings in said inner casing alternately, and means for operating said sliding member, substantially as described.
8. In a mixing-chamber for internal-combustion engines, the combination with an outer casing having an air-inlet and a feed-nozzle therein, of a cylindrical inner casing surrounding said feed-nozzle, radially-arranged openings in the circumferential wall of said inner casing above and below said nozzle, an apertured sliding member surrounding said inner casing, adapted to open and close the upper and lower openings in said inner casing alternately, means for operating said sliding member and. an air-passage surrounding the same, substantially as described.
9. In a mixing-chamber for internal-combustion engines, the combination with the outer casing, an air-inlet therein, a feed-nozzle within said casing, a cylindrical inner casing, a series of radially-arranged openings in said inner casing below the outlet of nozzle and a second series of radially-arranged openings in said inner casing above the outlet of said nozzle, of a sleeve surrounding said inner casing, openings in said sleeve adapted to register with the openings in the said inner casing, and said openings being so arranged that when the upper series is open the lower series is closed, and vice versa, substantially as described.
10. In a mixing-chamber for internal-combustion engines, the combination with an outer casing having a conical bottom, an opening through said conical bottom, an air-inlet in said casing, of an inner casing shaving radially-arranged openings above and below the opening, in said conical bottom and a sliding member surrounding said inner casing and adapted to open and close said openings alternately, substantially as described.
11. In a mixing-chamber for internal-combustion engines, the combination with an outer casing, an air-inlet into the same and a feed nozzle therein, of an inner casing surrounding said nozzle, radially-arranged openings in said inner casing above and below said nozzle, an annular projection on said inner casing between said upper and lower openings and means for opening and closing said openings, substantially as described.
12. In a mixing-chamber for internal-combustion engines, the combination with an outer casing, an air-inlet in said casing, a feed-nozzle therein, an inner casing surrounding said nozzle and radially-arranged openings in the vertical wall of said inner casing above and below said nozzle, of an annular passage surrounding said inner casing and connecting the openings therein with the air-inlet of said outer casing, and means for controlling the admission of air to said openings, substantially as described.
13. In a mixing-chamber for internal-combustion engines, the combination with an outer casing having a circumferential slot, an air inlet and a feed-nozzle therein, of an inner casing having openings therein, a sliding member adapted to open and close said openings, a lever secured to said sliding member and extending through the slot in said outer casing and means for securing said sliding member in its adjusted position, substantially as described.
