IMPROVEMENT IN CARBURETERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 142,545, dated September 2, 1873; roles no No. 6,004, dated August 11, 1874; application filed July 21, 1874.

' or cocks, f, and with an indicator, h, by which the height of the liquid within the apparatus may be determined. The gas or air tobe carbureted enters the regulator a, which rises To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, JAMES F. LOGKWOOD and GEORGE E. LooKwooD, late of Taylorville, county of Christian, State of Illinois now of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented an Improved Oarbureter, of which the following is a specification:

ur invention relates to apparatus for carbureting air and gas, and the objects of our invention are to insure a thorough admixture of the air or gas with the hydrocarbon vapor. lVe attain these objects by the use of the apparatus illustrated in the sectional elevation, Figure l, of the accompanying drawing, Fig. 2 being a sectional view of a modification.

A is the outer casing of the apparatus, and B an internal cylinder secured to the bottom of the said casing, and perfinated, at pointsadjacent to its upper and lower ends, with a number of holes, cand c. From the upper end of the cylinder B projects downward and outward, as shown, an inclined hood or do doctor, I). The gasoline or otherliquid hydrocarbon is supplied by a pipe, (I, communicating with the bottom of the cylinder B, and the gas or air to be carburctod is also admitted into the cylinder B. through apipe, 1 which extends upward into the said cylinder, as shown, and is capped by a governor or reg nlator, a, perforated with holes 6 at or near the top. hesaid governorisfree toriseand fall within the cylinder B, and nhay be entirely inthe air or gas is spread and compelled to pass downward and outward through the mass of saturated sawdust, and finally rise throughthe latter before it can'reach the outlet-pipe The said hood, in other words, serves as a most effective disseminator of the air or gas, and'insures a thorough admixture of the latthe saturated sawdust. The regulator or governor a, with its perforations, c, at or near the top, prevents pulsations or flickering of the gas at the burners, owing to sudden variations'in the pressure of the air or gas sup-- plied to the apparatus, such variations in pressure being compensated for and equilibrium maintained by the rising and falling of the governor;
