JOHN E. WARMAN, OF SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO GEORGE H. E. LICHTHARDT, 0F SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA.

OZONIZEB.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN E. WARMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sacramento, in the county of Sacramento and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ozonizers; and I do hereby declare'the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of they invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. I

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in ozonizers, and is particularly applicable to motor vehicles in order to produce a combustible vapor of high etliprovide a means for warming and moisten- -ing the air and also for interrupting a high frequency current in the path of the warm moist air in order to produce the desired results.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts which will be fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in Wl1iCh2- Figure 1 is a side view of an internal combustion engine showing this device applied thereto;

Fig.'2 is an enlarged transverse sectional view through the air intake, showing in de tail the warming and moistening chamber;

Application filed April 18, 1917. Serial No. 163,012.

Referring to thedrawings, the numeral 1 designates an internal combustion engine'of the usual ty e provided with an ordinary intake manifbld 2 and exhaust manifold 3. A suitable magneto 4 is operated by the motor and has leading therefrom a conductor wire 5 which is connected to the distributer 6. The water manifold is designated by the numeral 7 and leading from the exhaust manifold is the exhaust pipe 8, around which the air warming chamber is secured. The carbureter 9 is attached to the intake manifold and is provided with the usual gasolene or fuel oil inlet 10 and the air inlet 11.

The air warming chamber is illustrated in Fig. 2 and comprises alower section 12 having its upper edge provided with an attaching flange 13 to which the upper section 14 is secured. The upper and lower sections are formed in their end walls at their meet- .ing edges with semi-circular recesses forming an aperture when the device is assembled to receive the exhaust pipe 8 as clearly illustrated in the drawings. The lower section 12 has formed in its side walls adjacent their lower edges the air intake 0 enings 15 and formed in the bottom wall 0 the lower section is the air outlet 16. The air intake pipe 17 extends through the opening 16 and has its upper end disposed in a plane with the upper edges of the wall of the lower sec tion.- The upper section 1t has secured therein a suitable screen fabric 18 upon which water from a suitable water inlet pipe 19 is dripped which pipe is connected to the water manifold 7 or to any suitable sourceof supply. The water dripping on the screen 18 willbe evenly distributed over the screen so that the air assing through the opening 15 into the p1pe17 will pass beneath the moistened screen and absorb part of the moisture. 'As shown in Fig. 2, the screen engages the upper side of the exhaust pipe so'that the heat from said exhaust pipe will be distributed over the screen and serve to Warm the water thereon and the air passinginto-the chamber. In this way it will be seen that the air entering the pipe 17 will be warmedjand moistened prior v '27 provided with a web 28 which supports connected to -the moistener and heater is connected to the ozonizerdesignated generi-v cally by the numeral which comprises. a shell 21 formed of a suitable insulator and .having on opposite side edges suitable heads '22 one of which is removable as illustrated in Fig. 6 in order to render the'device accessible.

1o" are threaded, the inner ends ,of which are provided with sockets for-the receptron' --of the tapered ends of'theis-hfaft 26 WhlCh Formed on the heads 22 are central threaded bosses 23 into which the screws 24 support the interrupter.' The. interrupter above referred to consists of a hub member at its outer edge a rim -29 to which the curved'blades 30 are attached. These, blades as illustrated in Fig. '6, are apertured as at 31 to allow the passage of air therethrough, but it will be understood that the resistance area of the blades are 'suchas to cause the I interrupter 'to' revolve within the shell 20 posite point to the air inlet is the air outlet when air is drawn through the-same. At ta'ched to the shell 20 at a diametrically oppipe 31 and arranged at right angle to the air inletand outlet pipes are terminals 32 vwhich are connected to the wire 5 between the magneto 4 and the distributer 6; It will thus'be seen that the current passing from the magneto to the distributer will -neces-.

sar'ily have to are between the blades 30 and '-terminals 32 so that the warm moist air passing through the device will. be acted upon by thearc" and the air passing out of the. ozonizer will-'Lbeconsiderably em-iched with ozone so that: when the same is admitted to the air intake of thecarbureter it will be in much better condition to mix with the fuel and will produce a highly, combustible vapor which W111. increase the efiiciency of the In use it will be seen -lthat the device is connected to the motor as illustrated in-Fig.
