22 Claims. (Cl. 192-3) bustion engine. Ordinarily under such conditions the vacuum increases tremendously in the intake manifold which makes the idle mixtures of the carburetor overly rich as well as creating excessive vacuum on top of the pistons to draw up oil. The overly rich mixture and oil vapors passing out of the exhaust are not only a waste of gasoline and oil but obnoxious odors are liberated.
Fig. l is a sectional view showing my device in combination with a carburetor and ignition system for an internal combustion engine.
Fig. 2 is a showing of a detailed modification of my device.
I realize. many devices have been proposed and tried to overcome the abovefdimculty but none of them so far has been the solution.
The engine is referenced I. the intake manifold i, the air inlet for the carburetor 3, the buttery throttle valve (i. the fuel float bowl 5, the main fuel nozzle or iet t connected by passagewayV l with the float bowl, idle orice 8 connected by passageways @l and i with the float bowl, distributar ii, distributor shaft i2 driven by the engine i, centrifugal valve housing I t, centrifugal valve it controlling orifice i to atmosphere, tension spring iii tending to hold valve ifi open, passageway ii in shaft i2 which communicates through conduit it andL passageway iii with orifice E@ positioned `iust below the throttle valve d when in idle position, suction chamber 2i, exible diaphragm 22, compression spring 23, passageway 2t which connects suction chamber 2i .into passageway It, valve 25 which controls passageway t@ into the intake manifold pas-` sageway 2l to atmosphere which connects with passageway 2t when valve 25 is opened,'valve stem it connected to valve 25 and to flexible diaphragm 2t, valve guide 29, passageway 3i) which connects chamber 3| with passageway 2l when valve- 25 is opened, orifice 33 connecting the intake passageway with chamber 3l. brake pedal 3d pivoted as `at 35, butterfly valve 36 connected by crank arm 3l and link 38 with brake lever 34. Link 33 is a telescopic link comprising'a rod 39, a'sleeve til and a compression spring 4I between the end of rod 39 and the bottom of sleeve 40.
The' .operation of the device is as follows: Assuming the engine is idling, the centrifugal valve I4 will be, open, as shown, and the carburetor throttle valve 4 will be almost closed, as shown. Orifice 2u is now located on the engine side of the throttle but as centrifugal valve I4 is open, the suction in chamber 2I applied to the diaphragm 22 is bled down to a point that it does not have enough power to overcome spring 23 and open valve 25. Naturally, the engine is idling on its normal mixture through fuel channels III, 9 and orice 8. Adjustable orifice 45 and orifice 33 are air bleeds to the idle system. In the event the engine is accelerated by opening throttle il, orifice t@ will pass into the atmos-V phere. Then both orifices t@ and I5 will be bleeding a slight amount of air to suction chamber t i.. and valve 25 will remain closed. When theengine reaches a speed considerably above idle; say the idle speed was 400 R. P. M. and the engine speed was increased to 800 R. P. M., centrifugal valve I4 will close orifice l5. However, if the engine speed is above 800 R. P. M. and pulling the vehicle, throttle Il will be open wide enough to place orifice 20. in the atmosphere, which bleeds air into chamber 2i and prevents valve 25 from opening even though valve I4 has closed orifice I5. If the engine is decelerated from any speed above 800 R. i?. M. with throttle 4 closed, orifice will be in a high vacuum zone and valve I4 will have orifice i5 closed. Naturally, there will be a high suction in chamber 2l which will hold valve open, permitting air to iiow through port 26 which reduces the vacuum in the intake manifold between the throttle Ii and the engine and prevents excessive oi-l from being drawn up from the crankcase by the pistons.
In addition to admitting air into the manifold,
. air is admitted into chamber 3l through channel 30 because when suction device opens valve it..
the guide t9, which isV rigidly fastened to valve flow of fuel. This condition will be maintained as long as throttle i is left closed and the vehicle is driving the engine; that is, until the engine speed drops to 800 R. P. M. At this point, valve I4 opens orifice I5. In other words, admits air to suction' chamber 2I permitting valve 25 to close passageway 26. It is very important to use the speed control means to bring the carburetor system back to` normal before the engine reaches an idle speed or a speed lower than that because if valve 25 and port 32 did remain open, the engine would finally stall when it reached a real low speed especially if the clutch was disengaged.
In the event the engine is accelerated at speeds .bove 800 R. P. M. by opening throttle 4, valve 25 :md port 32 will immediately close due to the act that it is necessary to open the throttle to accelerate the engine and to do this port 20 is )laced into the atmosphere, which nullies the :uction in chamber 2| permitting'valve 25 and port 32 to immediately close. 'I'here are great advantages in the control of this system over the ones where the high vacuum on deceleration alone is used to open a valve. For example, if conduit I8 was not used and the suction device was not connected to a remote controller, the full benefits could not be had because when the high vacuum compressed spring 23, valve 25 would immediately open admitting air to the manifold but by admitting air, the vacuum in the manifold would immediately drop and valve 25 would immediately close. There would be a surging effect of valve 25. The engine would not idle unless spring 23 was strong enough to hold valve 25 closed when idle vacuum existed in chamber 2|. Naturally, the device would have to be adjusted so that it would not open unless the vacuum in the intake manifold increased higher than idlevacuum, which is generally 19 inches of mercury but with my device the vacuum in the manifold can be bled down very low without affecting the operation of the engine.
If valve 25 remained opened when the car brakes were applied, the large amount of air vented through passageway 26 into the manifold would decrease or break the engine vacuum and consequently the engine would not assist the wheel brakes in braking the car. In my system the large-amount of air that passes into ,the manifold is reduced or shut off when the brake is engaged but air still passes in to prevent gasoline from iiowing into the engine until centrifugal valve I4 opens port I5. As soon as brake pedal 34 is applied to brake the car wheels, link 38 acting through arm 31 closeslbutterfiy valve 36 to thereby shut off the flow of air from atmosphere through passageway 26 into the intake manifold. This permits the engine to be used as a brake but at the same time no gasoline flows through idle orifice 8 because the main jet 6 is bled through passageway 46 which runs from passageway 30 into passageway 1 and the idle jet 8 is air bled through channel 30 because when the brake is engaged, although the main air is shut 01T by butterfly valve 36, the suction in chamber 2| acting through diaphragm 22 holds valve 25 open and thereby port 32 communicates with atmosphere through outlet 21 and receives airfor bleeding the main and idle jets down. It is understood that valve 26 can be operated off of the brake pedal by a switch and an electromagnet similar to the conventional stop light that comes on when the brake is engaged.
In Fig. 2 there is shown another arrangement for cutting off the degasser whenever the brakes are applied. In this case conduit I8 is bled to atmosphere through orifice 41 controlled by valve 48. Each time the brake is applied through pedal 34, link 49 pivots bell crank 50 to raise valve 48 against compression spring and bleed air into conduit I8. Air bleeding to atmosphere of conduit I8 acts through passageway 24 to bleed suction chamber 2| to raise the pressure in chamber 2| and permit spring 23 to close valve 26. This nullifies the action of the entire degasser.
Obviously the speed at which centrifugal valve I4 will close can be varied to suit the requirements of the specific engine with which my degasser is 4 used and the above-mentioned speeds of 400 R. P. M. and 800 R. P. M. were given for descriptive purposes only.
