Robe r71 5 Lessy United States Patent 3,443,597 AUXILIARY CARBURETION DEVICE Robert E. Lessy, P.O. Box 472, Trenton, Mo. 64683 Filed Feb. 16, 1966, Ser. No. 527,894 Int. Cl. F15d 1/02 US. Cl. 138-42 1 Claim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An auxiliary carburetion device to be interposed in the fuel line of an internal combustion engine whereby the fuel flows therethrough to the carburetor, the device having an intake end plate and intake tube for admitting fuel to the device and an outlet end plate and outlet tube permitting fuel to pass from the device to the carburetor, there being a plurality of variously perforated plates between said end plates, the perforated plates including a first plate with .a central hole, a second plate with a plurality of miniature holes in a circular pattern and a third plate with a plurality of miniature holes in a circular pattern, the diameter of the circular pattern in the third plate being greater than the diameter of the circular pattern in the second plate, the perforated plates being held together in aligned, patterned relationship between the intake end plate and the outlet end plate whereby the fuel is thoroughly agitated as it. passes through the device.

It is the main purpose of this invention to provide an auxiliary carburetion device which is adapted to thoroughly agitate and improve the combustibility of fuel before it enters the carburetor of an engine.

Another object of this invention is to provide an auxiliary carburetion device which is mounted on the fuel line before the carburetor.

Another object of this invention is to provide an auxiliary carburetion device which is adapted to save gasoline consumption in .an internal combustion engine.

Still another object of this invention is to provide an auxiliary carburetion device which is of rugged construction, inexpensive to manufacture and provides maximum utility to its user.

Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein a satisfactory embodiment of the invention is shown. However, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the details disclosed but includes all such variations and modifications as fall within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.

In the drawing:

FIGURE 1 is a front elevational view of the twelve hole disc of this invention.

FIGURE 2 is a front elevational view of an eight hole disc of this invention.

FIGURE 3 is a front elevational view of the disc having a hole therein.

FIGURE 4 is a front elevational view showing the end disc.

FIGURE 5 is a side elevational view showing the invention as assembled.

According to this invention, an auxiliary carburetion device includes a cylindrical until 11 comprising a "ice plurality of circular plates having identical outside dimensions. As can be seen from FIGURE 5 the intake end of unit 11 constitutes a normally horizontal tube 26 one end of which is secured to the fuel line (not shown), and the other end is secured to the cylindrical end plate 21 at its rim portion 23 of hole 24. In addition said plate 21 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 22 for securing said plate with the other plates. An other circular plate 18 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 19 which are concentric with the mounting holes 22 of the end plate 21. Circular plate 18 also includes a hole 20 which is of larger diameter than previously mentioned hole 24 of plate 21. Circular plate 15 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 16 which are on the same plane as holes 19 and 22 of the plates 18 and 21, respectively. Circular plate 15 is provided with a plurality of miniature holes 17 which are adapted to decrease the rate of flow and agitate the incoming gasoline fuel from the inlet tube 26, and end plate 21 and plate 18. Another plate 18 is secured to said plate 15 so that the jets of fuel which have penetrated the miniature holes of the plate 15 may expand in lateral directions within the hole 20 which has a greater diameter than the circularly disposed hole 17 of the plate 15. Circulation plate 12 is secured to plate 18 in such a manner that the mounting holes 13 of plate 12 are concentric with the mounting holes 19 of plate 1 8, respectively. Plate 12 is provided with a plurality of miniature hole 14 which are disposed in such a manner that they further limit and slow down the flow of gasoline from hole 20 of plate 18. As shown in FIG- URE 5, the following circular plate is 18, followed by plate 15 and plate 12 in the previous sequence. The circular end plate 21 terminates and ends the sequence of circular plates. The previously described plates are secured to each other by means of bolts 25 or any other suitable means. The outlet tube -27 is suitably secured to the rim 23 of the end plate 21. The other tube 27 is connected with the fuel line leading into the carburetor or the carburetor (not shown). Furthermore, the inlet tube 26 and the outlet tube 27 may be suitably attached to the fuel line by means of clamps or any other means.

What I now claim is:

1. An auxiliary carburetion device adapted to be interposed in the fuel line of an internal combustion engine whereby the fuel will pass therethrough to the carburetor of the engine, said device comprising:

an intake end plate and an outlet end plate each having a hole formed centrally thereof;

an intake tube secured to said intake end plate and coupled to said fuel line for admitting fuel into said device through the hole in said intake end plate;

an outlet tube secured to said outlet end plate to permit fuel to pass from said device through the hole in said outlet end plate and to the carburetor;

a plurality of variously perforated plates disposed between said intake end plate and said outlet end plate, said perforated plates including a first plate adjacent said intake end plate, said plate being provided with a centrally positioned hole for admitting fuel from said intake tube;

a second plate aligned with said first plate, said second plate being provided with a plurality of miniature holes disposed in a circular pattern at the central portion of said second plate;

a third plate aligned with said first and second plates,

said third plate being provided with a plurality of miniature holes disposed in a circular pattern, the diameter of the circular pattern in said third plate being greater than the diameter of the circular pattern in said second plate; and

means for holding a plurality of said variously perforated plates together in aligned, patterned relationship between said intake end plate and said outlet end plate.
