CARBURETING- APPARATUS.

To all whom 'it may concern:

k ."Belitknown that I, WILLY WINTER, a ab'ectxoffthe German Emperor, and residela` at elsr. Belgium, have invented c` w` Andxfuseful Improvements in mgApparatiis."

as,k ing a high point of elnullition,` WTMQGCB is characterized in its novelty carbureting devices as well as the devices `:tor distributing the air and for compensating the pressure are freely suspended in the receptacle adapted to receive the reheated air and consequently are subjected to the same on all sides by hot air which is conducted from a nozzle like flared out pipe against the bottom of the carbureting vessel.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a general view of the apparatus in combination with bellows serving to compress the air to be carbureted on a hot air motor actuating the bellows; Figs. 2 and 3 show the special construction of the air receiver. Fig. 4 shows the carbureting vessel and Fig. 5 the device for introducing the air into the carbureting liquid. Fig. 6 is a sectional view on line 6-6 of Fig. 2.

In an air receiver 2 which is tightly closed by means of a cover 1 two vessels or receptacles 3 and 4 shaped each like a cylinder segment are arranged opposite each other in such a manner that they are on all sides at a certain distance or interval from the wall as well as from the bottom and the cover of the receptacle 2. These vessels are tightly closed by means of covers.

Bellows 5 which are actuated by a hot air motor through the medium of a connecting rod 7 delivers compressed air through a duct 8 passing through the cover 1 and provided with a stop cock 9 into the chamber 3 wherefrom it is conveyed into the chamber 4 by a pipe 10 which passes outside under the bottom of the receptacle 1. Both chambers 3 and 4 are filled with glass beads or the like the object of which is to finely divide the air and to neutralize in this manner the pressure shocks produced by the operation of the bellows 5. The pipe 10 passes over the escape opening of a pipe 11 (Fig. l) through which the combustion gases of the heating flame of the hot air motor escape. Thus a preliminary heating of the air passing through the pipe 10 is obtained.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed January 25, 1911.

Patented Sept. 26, 1911. serial No. 604,647.

The previously heated air passes from the receptacle 4 through a pipe 12 in the inner space proper 13 of the receptacle 2 between the two chambers 3 and 4 and besides into the interval cited above which as stated is left between the walls of the receptacle 2 and the pressure compensating chambers 3 and 4. The carbureting vessel 14 is suspended in the receptacle through an opening provided in the center of its cover 1 in such manner that carbureting vessel is enveloped bythhated air.A -`The carbureting vessel is ver bymeans of a ring 15 y p ring made of any suitable materlal an "not sho'wnfinthe drawing being interposed: The pipe-lltvhich conveys the air from the receptao1e4-opens out under the receptacle 14 and i`s""lia`re`d as shown; From the space 13 the heated airlis conveyed by a pipe 16 provided with a stop cock 17 into the carbureting vessel 14 where it escapes through a distributing device 18 dipping into the carbureting liquid for instance benzine. The said distributing device is formed of a receptacle 19 shaped hke a double cone and is screwed by means of a screw threaded part 2O on the corresponding part of pipe 16 which has also been screw threaded. The upper conical part of said distributing device is provided with a plurality of sieve like openings 21. Secured to the outside threads of the screw threaded part 20 is a kind of bell 22 the lower border of which is also provided Vwith sieve like apertures 23. The lower open part of this bell is covered with wire gauze 24. The sieve openings mentioned above may have a diderent width and be arranged more or less close to each other; their object essentially consists in obtaining an extremely fine and uniform division of the air escaping through the pipe 16 and entering the carbureting liquid.

The air saturated with Vaporized carbureting liquid is taken off and conveyed to the point of consumption by a pipe 25 connected through the cover of the carburetor and provided with a stop cock 26. A pipe 27 (Figs. 1, 4) branched on said pipe 25 and provided with cocks 28 and 29 leads to the heating flame of the hot air motor. The end of the pipe 25 projects into the receptacle.

Air is carbureted in the carbureter only in proportion to the volume of gas taken from the carbureting vessel. If for instance the ducts 25, 27 are closed by means ofthe cocks 26, 28 no air is allowed to pass through the pipe 16 and the distributing device 18 connected therewith and to flow into the carbureting vessel, the air being in a compressed state and opposing thus a natural resistance to the arrival of fresh air. Only when one of the cocks 26 or 28 is opened the pressure decreases in the carbureting vessel to such a degree that new quantities of air can arrive from the receptacle 2. As readily seen the carburetion of gas is always controlled automatically exactly according to the requirements of the moment. The carbureting liquid is introduced into the receptacle 14 by means of a pipe 33 (Figs. 1 and 4) which may be closed by a cock 32 and the lower end of which is in contact with the level of the liquid and is drawn out to a very small diameter.

For the purpose of allowing the observation of the level of carbureting liquid, a"

window or opening 34 and 35 has beengproAny vided in the wall of e/a/ch'of the receptacles 2 and 14, these 4 windows being positioned directly behind/each other. Thereservoir 36 contains the cooling water` for the motor.
