Description: |
| Abstract:
The object of the invention is to provide a simple, cheap, durable, and effective means for supplying the gasolene to the engine and for automatically regulating the supply. This object of the invention is accomplished (and herein the invention resides broadly) in providing a supply-chamber into which the liquid fuel is delivered by a pump, said supply chamber being furnished with suitable means whereby the height of liquid within said chamber shall serve to control the delivery of liquid thereto by said pump.
Claims:
1. In an explosive-engine, the combination with a pipe for supplying liquid fuel to the engine and with a pump for delivering liquid fuel from a supply-tank, of a supply-chamber into which liquid fuel is delivered, a float piston within said supply-chamber, means whereby the pump may be held out of action and suitable connections between said float piston and the means by which the pump is held out of action, whereby when the liquid within said fuel supply chamber has reached a predetermined height, the shift of the float piston will cause the arrest of the pump.
2. In an explosive-engine the combination with the air-delivery pipe or conduit, a fuel supply pipe leading thereto, and a pump for delivering the liquid fuel from a supply-tank, of a fuel-supply chamber arranged in said supply-pipe between the pump and the air pipe, a dogging device for holding said pump out of action, a piston within said chamber and suitable connections between said piston and said dogging device whereby when the liquid has reached a predetermined height in said chamber the shift of the piston will cause arrest of the pump.
3. In an explosive-engine the combination with a liquid-fuel pump, of means for operating and controlling said pump comprising a moving part for shifting the pump-piston in one direction, a spring for moving said piston in the opposite direction, dogging or checking mechanism for preventing the shift of the piston by said spring, a supply-chamber into which liquid is delivered by said pump, and means controlled by the height of liquid within said chamber for bringing said dogging mechanism into action to arrest the pump.
4. In an explosive engine, the combination with a liquid-fuel pump, of means for operating and controlling said pump comprising a moving part for shifting the pump-piston in one direction, a spring for moving said piston in the opposite direction, dogging or checking mechanism for preventing the shift of the piston by said spring, a supply-chamber into which liquid is delivered by said pump, a piston within said chamber and connections between said piston and said dogging mechanism whereby the rise of the liquid within said chamber shall cause said pump to be thrown out of action.
5. In an explosive-engine, the combination with a liquid-fuel pump, of means for operating and controlling said pump comprising a moving part for shifting the pump-piston in one direction, a spring for moving said piston in the opposite direction, dogging or checking mechanism for preventing the shift of the piston by said spring, a supply-chamber into which liquid is delivered by said pump, a piston within said chamber, a rock-shaft connected with said supply-chamber piston, and a dogging device connected to said rock-shaft and adapted to arrest the movement of the pump-piston.
