This invention ing the manifold tion engine.
It is common practice to suction of an internal combusutilizing the true ing suction devices.
Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing my to an ignition system. Fig. 2 shows conduit A connects into the intake passageway at I 3 just above throttle valve passageway as illustrated at l3. vacuumexisting at inlet i 3 for illustrated by curve A in Fig. 3 and in intake passageway in is shown by curve B, Fig. 3, and the vacuum indicated where vertical C, D, 1::v and F intersect curve B is the vacuuin which obtain respectively at port I4 relates to mechanism for utiliz- II at idle position 22 pivoted as at '23 to crank 2|. Compression spring, operating between bracket 25 keyed on rod 22, tends means of passageway 28, conduits and 30 with servo-motor 3|. Conduit 30 connects into venturi in passageway l0 at the corresponding settings rotatable cam circuit breaker remain retarded to advance immediately when throttle arm 40. is
sageway as illustrated at l3 in orifice 32. Communication between 29 and conduit 29 is controlled by needle valve 39 which seats against seat 34. Pin 95, operating in slot 99 in valve 89, limits the upward or opening movement of valve 33. Compression spring 81, operating against collar 98 on valve 33. tends to raise and open the same. Screw 39 is threaded into arm 40 of crank H as at 4| and is held in adjusted position by compression spring 42. The lower end of idle adlusting screw 39 seats against the top 38 05 valve 93.
When the engine is idling, as. shown in Fig. 1, spring 24 acts through crank 2| and screw 39 to hold valve 33 closed and communication between the intake manifold on the engine side of throttle valve l9 and conduit 29 is shut ofi. As soon as throttle arm 40 moves the slightest distance. even a few thousandths of an. inch, screw 39 will move upwardly and permit spring 31 to open valve 39 correspondingly thereby to admit intake manifold vacuum into lines 29, 30 and suction device or servo-motor 3 l. 1
The timing mechanism is conventional and essentially the same as that shown in my Patent 2,268,490. This timing mechanism consists of a 42 which operates the electrical 43. Circuit breaker 43 is mounted on plate 44 which can be rotated counterclockwise to advance the spark and clockwise to retard the spark. Suction device 311 is used for advancing and retarding the spark. The suction device comprises a flexible diaphragm 45 mounted in a housing which is connected by conduits 30 and 29 with the intake passageway; Diaphragm 45 is connected by rod 49 with plate 44 and tension spring 41 tends to rotate plate 44 clockwise in spark retarding position. With this suction controlled ignition timer the vacuum in suction device will never be as high as shown in curve B due to the air bleeding into conduit 30 through orifice 32 but the spring 41 is of such tension as to give sufllcient spark advance.
If desired, suction line 39 can to an ignition timerof the type shown in my Patent 2,306,889 wherein part of the spark advance will be controlled by a centrifugal governor and the supplementary spark advance by intake With this last mentioned type of ignition timer orifice 32 will be omitted and the suction device or servo-motor will be connected directly to conduit 29.
With my vacuum ignition as abovedescribed, the spark is advanced immediately as the throttle opens from idle and the spark advance curve will be substantially as indicated by curve B, Fig. 3.
Another advantage of my device is that the idle speed can be varied without affecting the spark advance mechanism. Screw 39 can be turned in to thereby adjust throttle valve l9 counterclockwise to raise the idle speed but valve 33 will remain closed. Similarly valve 39 can be turned out to move valve 19 clockwise and thereby lower the idle speed. Regardless of the position to which valve i9 is adjusted to vary the idlespeed valve 33 will remain closed and the spark will for idle butthe spark will start It through passageway be connected turned to open the tion. This result cannot be obtained where the vacuum ignition is'connected into the intake pas- Fig. 2. In such a vacuum ignition system adjusting of the throt- 4 tie stop to, vary the idle engine speed will inevitably vary the spark timing.
