Abstract:
A multi-fuel carburetor embodying a number of improved accelerating pump features. In accordance with one of these features, the accelerating pump discharge is located upstream of the venturi section and is directed in such a way that the depositing of fuel on the throttle valve is minimized and improved distribution to the associated manifold is achieved. In accordance with another feature, the accelerating pump is operated by a linkage which causes the accelerating to begin its discharge stroke before the throttle valve is opened. As another feature, the output of the accelerating pump may be conveniently varied by using a variable bypass in the accelerating pump discharge circuit. As yet another feature, the back or non-pumping side of the accelerating pump is vented to a fuel bowl so as to minimize leakage and to insure return of any fuel that leak passed the accelerating pump to the fuel bowl.
Abstract:
A carburetor comprising an accelerator pump having a working chamber containing fuel and a piston displaceable in the working chamber to discharge fuel therefrom to an inlet passage of the carburetor. A sleeve is secured to the carburetor housing at one end of the working chamber and the piston is slidably guided by the sleeve for movement into and out of the chamber. A sealing ring adjoins the sleeve and includes a free sealing lip directed into the chamber and sealingly bearing against the piston. In order to vary the amount of fuel delivered to the inlet passage for a given stroke of the piston, a piston and sleeve of different diameter are employed while the linkage mechanism between the throttle valve and the piston can remain without change.
Abstract:
A carburetor herein disclosed includes a low speed spray aperture defined on the side wall of an intake duct at a position opposed to a throttle valve inside the intake duct and feeding a fuel for low speed operation in accordance with the degree of opening of the throttle valve, and a by-pass passage having, on the side wall portion of the intake duct, an intake port and a controlling stream spray port whereby the former is defined on the upstream side of the throttle valve and the latter, on the downstream side of the throttle valve. The by-pass passage incorporates therein a controlling nozzle which sprays a jet stream towards the controlling steam spray port. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, an acceleration nozzle is additionally disposed in the by-pass passage, the nozzle opening into the by-pass passage on the upstream side of the controlling nozzle and spraying an acceleration fuel into the by-pass passage. In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, the intake duct is connected with an intake manifold having branch conduits leading to respective combustion chambers of a plurality of cylinders of an engine. The bypass passage has a plurality of controlling stream spray ports, each of which opens into each of the branch conduits.
Abstract:
In an acceleration pump of a carburetor for an internal combustion engine including a cylinder and a piston reciprocatorily inserted in the cylinder, the piston is formed in its upper portion with a transverse bore for a stopper member to extend therethrough to be urged by a heat sensitive element to move in a direction at right angles to the direction of reciprocatory movement of the piston, so that additional fuel for acceleration can be supplied to the engine in a quantity which is accurately corrected to accommodate itself to changes in ambient temperature, by means of the heat sensitive element. The transverse bore is formed at its top wall and bottom wall with projections, and the stopper member is formed at its upper surface and lower surface with depressed portions, so as to enable the lengths of the downward and upward strokes of the piston to be controlled in accordance with changes in ambient temperature. Thus the acceleration pump is capable of supplying to the engine additional fuel for acceleration in a quantity which is corrected to accommodate itself for changes in ambient temperature.
Abstract:
An accelerating pump system is shown having a chamber into which fuel from a fuel reservoir of fuel bowl is drawn and then, when and as required, ejected, as by a displaceable diaphragm within said chamber, into a passage leading to accelerating fuel nozzle structure for discharge into the induction passage of the related carburetor or fuel metering means; a vent passage serves to communicate between the fuel reservoir and the chamber as to enable a portion of the fuel within the chamber to be returned to the fuel reservoir when the diaphragm is being displaced for ejecting fuel into the said passage; a thermostatic valve serves to preclude such communication between the fuel reservoir and the chamber except when the fuel temperature (employed as an indicia of engine and indirectly ambient temperature) within the chamber attains a predetermined relatively elevated temperature.
Abstract:
An accelerator pump for providing additional fuel to the carburetor of an internal combustion engine during acceleration permits staged or sequential operation of the pump while employing simplified construction. The structure is arranged so that the accelerating pump is caused to travel during an initial opening of a primary throttle of the carburetor, after which the pump ceases to move until a secondary throttle begins to open, at which time additional pumping action is accomplished.
Abstract:
A variable stage type carburetor having a throttle valve and a movable venturi vane cooperative with the throttle valve. This carburetor further includes a negative pressure responsive device for forcedly shifting the venturi vane in a direction to be closed, irrespective of an opening of the throttle valve, when the negative pressure in the venturi portion is lowered to less than a given value, and an accelerator pump for additionally supplying fuel to an intake passage commensurate to the opening action of the throttle valve. The accelerator pump is effectively operated when the opening of the throttle valve remains at an angle no more than a given degree, while the negative pressure responsive device is effectively operated, when the opening of the throttle valve is at an angle no less than a given degree.
Abstract:
A carburetor with an auxiliary accelerator-pump system including a diaphragm pump. This diaphragm pump includes a fuel chamber and a vacuum chamber which are separated by a spring-loaded diaphragm. The fuel chamber leads by way of a check valve to a fuel reservoir or float bowl in the carburetor and by way of another check valve to a pump jet or nozzle which is open into the intake passage of the carburetor, while the vacuum chamber leads to a vacuum take-off port open into the intake passage downstream of its throttle valve. This fuel chamber is communicated by way of a valve with the fuel reservoir or float bowl, the aforesaid valve being actuated in response to a vacuum prevailing in the intake passage downstream of the throttle valve.
Abstract:
An acceleration pump delivers additional fuel to both the main intake passage and the auxiliary intake passage of an internal combustion engine, to facilitate cold starting. In such an engine, each main combustion chamber is in communication with an auxiliary combustion chamber, respectively. Coordinated means are provided for operating said acceleration pump and throttle valves in said intake passages. Communication between the acceleration pump and the main intake passage remains open at all times, but a passageway connecting the acceleration pump and the auxiliary intake passage is closed except when the ambient temperature is low. Closure of the connecting passageway is effected automatically or in coordination with operation of the choke valve for the main intake passage.
