UNITED STATES:
CHARLES J. DESCH, or HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
oAR uRRToR.
Application filed October 30, 1919. SerialNo. 334,511.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES J. DESCH a citizen of the United States, residing at Harrisburg, in the county of Dauphin and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carburetors, of which the following is a specification. r
This invention relates to a carburetor as used in connection with internal combustion engines, designed for atomizing fuel of lower grades or greater specific gravity than gasoline. W The primary object of the invention is the provision of a carburetor embodying a novel type of mixing chamber, capable of revolving under engine suction to thoroughly atomize heavy fuels.
A further object of the invention is the provlsion of a carburetor having a mixing chamber of the above described character,
and including certain partswhich will automatically respond to increase of engine speed, to produce a proportionately greater amount of explosive mixture.
Other objects of the invention will appear in the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, forminga part of this specification, and in which drawings:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the improved carburetor.
Figure -2 is a fragmentary horizontal section through the carburetor, illustrating the perforated semi-sphereofthe primary mixing chamber in top plan.
Figure 3 is a detail horizontal section through the primary mixing chamber taken on the line 33 of- Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a detail horizontal sectiontaken on the line 44 of Figure 1.
' Figure 5 is adetailperspective view of a part of the carburetorstructure, and
Figure 6 is a detail perspective view of one of the fan blades of the carburetor structure.
1 Referring more particularly to the draw- 'ings, wherein like characters indicate like and corresponding parts throughout the several views, the combustlble fuel such'as kerosene or the like enters the carburetor structure through the entrance tube 1 10 througha strainer 10 prior *toits entrance into the float chamber 11 ofthe carburetor. The entrance of the fuel into the float chamwhich is in turn operated by means of a float 13, to control the flow of the fuel into the float chamber 11, as desired. This float 12 is carried by a suitable rod 14, in such manner that it is permitted to move with the rise and fallof the fuel level within the Y chamber 11 and has an arm 15' attached thereto which is pivotally connected intermediate its ends and is provided with a flat end portion 16wvliich engages against the upper surface of a collar 17 carriedby the needle valve 12,so-that when the float falls in the chamber 11 it will rocktlie lever 15 to raise the needle valve to'permitthe flow of fuel into the-chamber. Howevenns the float rises, the lever 15 will move downwardly relieving the n'eedle valve-12 from the upwardpressureand the needle valve willbe seated, to cutoff the entrance of fuel nozzle 20, in which a needle valve 21 is mounted; this needle valve being supported into the chamber 11, by means'of the spring 18. a a a i A The fuel, passes from the floatchamber to permit its adjustment relative to a re movable nozzle plug22, for regulating the flow of fuel through said removable, plug 22; The fuel is discharged from the nozzle 20 into the primary or first mixing chamber of the "carburetor which is formed by the substantially. semi-spherical shell 28, the
lower edgeof which is detachably connected,
preferably byineans of screw threads to the upstanding flange 24' upon the disc 25. This disc 25 is provided with an upstanding centrally disposed bearing hub 26, provided with a ball race in its inner-face, in which bearing balls 27 engage. The bearing balls 27 also engage in aball race formed in -the outer surface of the collar 28. This collar 28 is supported upon'lateral projections29 which are formed upon the nozzle structure 20, as clearly shown in Figures '1 :and l of the drawings; The outer portion ofthe disc 25 near its periphery inclinesupwardly as shown at 30and is adaptedto engage'again'st V the upwardly inclining portion 3O of the casing 31 of thecarburetor structure, normallyuclosing the air ports32, which air ports communicate with the atmosphere eX- teriorly ofthe casing 31 of the carburetor structure.
The casing 31 is provided "with an annular air passage r33, formed a 'threin beneath the partition 34:, upon whichthe disc 25 normally rests, and thispartitioned is provided with a .central opening 35, surrounding the collar 28, through which the attaching screws or bolts 36 of the fan blades 37 extend. The fan or agitating blades 37 have their upper ends bent at right angles as shown at 38, and the attaching screws or bolts 36 extend therethrough and into the its upper end in an outwardly flaring restricted outlet 41 as clearly shown in Figure 1. of the drawings. The disc 25 is provided with a plurality of perforations 42, formed therein, inwardly of the collar. 40, and these'openings establish communication between the space within the guiding shell 41and the air chamber 33, through the open ing 35, permitting air to pass upwardly into the space within the shell 41 and outwardly through the restricted upper end thereof into the primary mixing chamber formed within the shell 23. The nozzle stem 20-is also provided with a plurality of longitudinally extending grooves 43, which :permit air 'to pass upwardly from the air chamber 33 into the chamber-formed within the guiding shell 41.
.A spring 44 disposed about the nozzle tube 20 rests upon the top of the collar 28, and is normally held under variable compression by a disc or ring 45, adjustably threaded upon :the exterior threaded upper end .of the nozzle v20. Thus, the .collar '28 is normally held upon the supporting projec- ;tion 29. Likewise, the disc 25 is held upon the partition 34, .and normally closing the air ports32; i
A bail 46 is connected to the ring 45 and is connected by means of a bolt 47 to the top 48 !of the removable portion 49 of the housing or casing of the carburetor.
In operation, the-fuel passes, or is drawn through the .nozzle 20, and out through the plug 22. The air under engine suction is drawn eupwardly within the guide shell 41, through the perforations 42, and nozzle grooves 43. Due to the restricted outlet 41, the air attains considerable velocity at this point, catching up the fuel from the nozzle 20, andspraying the same within the domeshaped shell 23. The air entering the passageway .33, will ashereinbefore explained, rotate the mixing chamber. Thus, the atomized fuel within the shell 23 will be thoroughly mixed with air to produce :a homogeneous explosive mixture.
Asthe engine speed increases,.an increas- The speed of the mixing chamber will increase 'in rotation for atomizing a greater quantity of fuel from nozzle 20. Attention is directed to the upper and outer tapering sides 53 in the casing 31, adjacent the extension 54, as provided bythe bevelledor upwardly inclined surface 30 As the mixing chamber rises with the increase engine speed, the ports 32 are uncovered to greatly increase the air supply in the carburetor.
This airis fed into the primary mixing chamber' n ce-rtaln amount; the remainder.
being directed in increasing quantity into the secondary chamber, 51", through the space circumferent ally about the primary rotary mixing chamber and over the tapered surface "53 to be further mixed with the atomized fuel coming from the rotary mixing chamber. v
The resulting mixture is drawn from the primary mixing chamber into the secondary chamber 51 through the perforations 50, formed in the shell 23, andwhich chamber is formed in the portion of the housing .31
of the carburetor about the shell 23 as clearly shown in Figure 1 of the drawings. The atomized fuel passes from this secondary chamber 51 through the outlet 52 of the carburetor structure into the intake manifold of an engine with which the carburetor is ;associated.- It is preferred to provide the conventional throttle valve 50 in the outlet passage 52, in order to throttle the mixture passing from the carburetor.
Various changes in the shape, size, and arrangement of parts may be made to the form of invention herein shown and described-without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the claims. Iclaim': 15A carburetor comprising a casing having a chamber therein; a mixing chamber movably disposed within the chamber of said casing,'including a base portion rotatably mounted on the casing, an outer per- :forate she'll upwardly mounted upon the 3 base portion, and an inner hollow frustro- .conicalmemberpositioned in said shell and having annular walls ofimperforate ,material and openat its-upper end and communieating with the interior of said shell and cooperating therewith in providing a mixing chamber between said shell and inner member, and air and fuel inlet means for said mixing chamber opening thereinto through the passageway of said imperforate member.
2. A carburetor, comprising in combination a casing, a nozzle extending upwardly into said casing and disposed axially thereof, a mixing chamber rotatably and reciprocably mounted in said casing about said nozzle and having an outer shell of perforated material and an inner wall in spaced relation to the shell and nozzle and formed of imperforate material, means for feeding fuel into said mixing chamber and air inlet means controlled by reciprocatory movement of the mixing chamber.
