A TTOENEY United States Patent CARBURETOR Elmer M. Bimberg, Detroit, Mich., assignor to Bendix Aviation Corporation, South Bend, Ind., a corporation of Delaware Application August 13, 1948, Serial No. 44,183
9 Claims. (Cl. 137-434) The present invention relates to carburetors and more particularly to a fuel inlet valve control mechanism for carburetors. I
One of the principal objects of the present invention is to provide a simple and positive connection between the float lever and fuel inlet valve of a carburetor in which there is no appreciable backlash or lost motion and which permits the float and valve to be readily assembled in the carburetor and thereafter easily serviced.
Another object of the invention is to provide a readily responsive fuel inlet valve control mechanism for a carburetor adapted to minimize the effect of engine vibratiaoln and road jarring on the operation of the fuel inlet v ve.
Further objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a carburetor embodying my invention in which the fuel bowl and valve are shown in cross-section;
Figure 2 is a view of the float and fuel valve of Figure 1 removed from the carburetor;
Figure 3 is a top plan view of a modified form of my invention showing the connection between the float lever and fuel valve in section;
Figure 4 is a view of the float lever, fuel valve connection taken on line 4--4 of Figure 3; and
Figure 5 is a fragmentary side elevation of the float and fuel valve shown in Figure 3.
Referring more specifically to the drawings, numeral designates an air horn of a single barrel downdraftcarburetor, numeral 12 a fuel bowl mounted on and formed integrally with the main body of the carburetor, and 14 a throttle valve mounted on a shaft 16 in throttle body 18, a flange 20 being provided at the base of the throttle body for securing the throttle body to an intake manifold (not shown). The fuel is delivered to the fuel bowl from a suitable source, such as a tank or fuel pump, through a conduit 26 to a fuel inlet valve 28. The valve is controlled by a float 30 supported by a lever 32 pivoted on a pin 34 at a point between the float and fuel inlet valve. In the embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 1 and 2, ears 40 and 42 formed integrally with the float lever on the end opposite the float are turned downwardly and inwardly to form an open ring-shaped member, as clearly shown in the end view of Figure 2. When the fuel valve and float are assembled, the head 44 on valve 28 is placed in the ring, and the neck connecting the head and the body portion 46 of the valve is interposed between the two free ends of ears 40 and 42. In place of the annular groove forming the neck of the valve, a shoulder or rib may be formed on the surface of the valve near the end thereof. When used hereinafter, the word shoulder will include an annular rib, one side of an annular groove or the underside of a head such as head 44.
After the head has been inserted in the ring, the ends of the ears may be pressed inwardly against the underside thereof to eliminate substantially all play from the connection so that there will be no backlash or lost motion between the float lever and fuel valve during operation of the float mechanism. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, as the quantity of fuel in the fuel bowl decreases, the float is adapted to positively lift the fuel valve from its seat without having to depend on the fuel supply pressure to unseat the valve.
In the embodiment shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5, the
2,702,562 Ce Patented Feb. 22, 1955 ears 40 and 42 are stamped or otherwise severed from the float lever on three sides, leaving the ears integrally connected to the lever on the fourth side near the outside edge of the lever. A bar 48 is left between the two ears. The cars are bent downwardly to provide a triangularly-shaped support into which the head of the fuel valve is inserted. The ends of cars 40 and 42 fit snugly under the head 44 of the valve, holding the fuel valve in close relationship to the float lever so that no appreciable play exists in the connection. The principal advantage of this arrangement over the first embodiment is that this arrangement may be fabricated with fewer operations.
Although Figure 5 illustrates the modified form of a float lever, fuel valve connection, this figure also shows a horizontal fuel inlet valve and a modified form of float lever. This valve and float lever arrangement may be used equally as well in the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2. Further arrangements and modifications may be made in the present float mechanism without departing from the scope of the invention.
