CARBURATION DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 16, 1920.

Application filed July 8, 1920. Serial No. 394,732.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR SANSOUGY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Troy, State of New York, United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carburation Devices; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The present invention relates to improve ments in carburation devices.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a device of the above specified type, in which provision is made for breaking up the fuel into finer particles during its passage through the intake manifold pipe.

Another object of the invention is the provision of an attachment designed to be placed in the manifold pipe of an internal COIillOl'lSf-lOn motor, between the carbureter and intake openings for the purpose of breaking the fuel into fine particles during its passage through the said intake manifold.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a valve formed from coiled spring material which is designed to be placed in the intake manifold of a motor, the same being actuated by the suction within the cylinders to break or spray the fuel into fine particles prior to its entrance to the said cylinders, and in addition thereto, supporting means is provided for insuring actuation of said valve.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a carburation device, for the purposes above specified, which will be comparatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture, reliable and etlicient in use, and readily operated.

With the above and other objects in View, the present invention resides in the novel features of construction, formations, combinations and arrangements of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of the present application, and in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of an intake manifold with the carbureter attached thereto, a portion of the manifold pipe being broken away;

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View taken through adjacent portions of the manifold pipe and the carbureter with the valve shown in closed position; 7

Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the valve open;

Fig. 4 is a view looking into the lower end of the intake manifold with the valve in position and the carbureter removed;

Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 2; and,

Fig. 6 is a detail perspective view of the battle plate removed. 7

Referring now to the accompanying drawing by corresponding characters of reference throughout the several views, the numeral 1 designates in general a portion of the intake manifold of an internal combustion motor to the lower end of which is bolted, in the usual manner, the carbureter 2. v

The adjacent ends of the manifold pipe and carbureter pipe are provided, with the usual. attachment flanges 3 between which is placed a gasket 4. This gasket 4 has its inner periphery spaced slightly from the inner sides of the manifold pipe and carbureter, forming a channel 5, in which is engaged the lower end of the valve, shown at 6. This valve is formed from coiled spring material and is conical in shape, having its apex positioned upwardly within the mapifold pipe 1 and open slightly, as shown at A baflie plate 8 is positioned within the valve 6 and is disposed horizontally within the manifold pipe 1 slightly below the open ing 7 in the valve 6, for a purpose to be later explained. The baffle plate 8 is supported in this position by the legs 9, the

lower ends of which are coiled around the lower convolution of the valve 6, as shown at 10, thus firmly supporting the said plate 8 in the positions shown in Figs. 2 and 8. The coil portions 10, which engage and hold the valve 6 in normal position, fit in the channel 5, and when the carbureter is bolted to the manifold pipe, it will be obvious that both the valve and the baffle plate are held firmly in their normal positions.

In order to further insure the valve 6 against any anticipated displacement, the lower portion thereof adjacent its base is formed cylindrically, as shown at 11, engaging the inner wall of the manifold pipe, as is clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

The operation of the device is as follows:

The suction within the cylinders of the motor (not shown), causes the fuel tobe sucked from the carbureter up through the manifold pipe 1 and into the same. During the passage of the fuel through said manifold pipe, it will be manifest that the same must necessarily pass through the valve 6. The suction within the cylinders causes the raising or opening of the valve 6 from the position shown in Fig. 2 to the position shown in Fig. 3. The baffle plate 8 prevents the fuel from being drawn through the opening 7 and deflects it toward the side of the valve 6 through which it must necessarily pass. The passage of the fuel through the said valve breaks the same into fine particles, thus increasing the carburation thereof and greatly increasing the efficiency of the motor by giving it considerably more power and also considerably more mileage to the gallons of fuel consumed.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it will be manifest, that a carburation device for internal combustion motors and the like is provided, which will fulfill all of the necessary requirements of such an ap' paratus.

It should be understood in this connection, that various minor changes in the specific details of construction can be resorted to within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new and desired to protect by Letters Patent is 1. A carburation device comprising in combination with an intake manifold and a carbureter, a helical spring suction operable valve in the intake manifold pipe having its upper end open, a baffle plate posi tioned within said valve beneath but in proximity to the open upper end thereof, spaced divergent legs extending from the peripheral portion of the bafile having their lower ends engaging the base portion of the helical valve and being clamped between the manifold pipe and carbureter, said baffle serving to deflect fuel through the sides of the helical valve when the latter is opened.

2. In a carburation device, the combination with an intake manifold pipe and a carbureter, of a valve positioned within said intake manifold pipe, said valve comprising a single strand of spring material, coiled in conical formation and having its upper end opened, said valve being actuated by suction within said manifold pipe, a baffle plate disposed within said valve adjacent and beneath the opening therein, legs supporting said baffle plate, said legs at their lower ends being bent around the lower convolution of the material comprising said valve, and being clamped between the manifold pipe and carbureter, the said baffle plate serving to deflect fuel through the sides of the valve when the latter is open.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

ARTHUR SANSOUCY.
