  • Patent number: 4237076
    Abstract: A two stage vacuum break or fluid motor device of the type used to control choke valves of internal combustion engine carburators. The motor uses a single diaphragm in which the fluid motor plunger operates in a first stage in response to movement of a portion of the diaphragm and in a second stage in response to movement of the entire diaphragm. The stages of movement are under the control of separate sources of manifold pressure which may be made available to the device independently of each other. The two stages of operation may be used to control one or more choke valves through a single output plunger or to control a pair of output plungers movable independently of each other.

  • Patent number: 4218406
    Abstract: A choke control device for delaying closing of a choke valve regulated by a temperature responsive bimetal coil after an internal combustion engine is turned off by employing a heat sink which stores the latent heat of fusion or vaporization that is delivered to the heat sink after the choke is open and the engine is operating at normal temperatures and which releases the latent heat after the engine has been turned off and cools to heat the bimetal coil and delay closing movement of the choke valve.

  • Patent number: 4178895
    Abstract: A fluid motor or vacuum break device for use with the carburetor of an internal combustion engine in which an output plunger of the motor moves in two stages in succession with a period of delay therebetween in response to variable pressure in the form of vacuum from the intake manifold of an engine. Upon admission of vacuum pressure to a variable pressure chamber a diaphragm assembly moves in a first stage after which there is a period of delay and the diaphragm assembly and plunger moves in a second stage together with a movable wall.

  • Patent number: 4177831
    Abstract: A time delay valve of flexible material to be supported in an opening in a wall and having a body member provided with a recess permitting the use of a tool to position the valve in the opening in the wall from one side of the wall with the recess also accommodating displaced material during the time that the valve is being installed. The valve has an enlarged head which closes the opening and flexes away from the wall to open and permit relatively free fluid flow. A metering groove extends radially of an annular sealing surface formed on the perimeter of the head to restrict and delay fluid flow when the valve is in a closed position relative to the wall.

  • Patent number: 4154146
    Abstract: A fluid motor or vacuum break for use with the carburetor of an internal combustion engine in which an output plunger of the motor moves in two stages and at different rates in each of the stages through means of an auxiliary housing supported within the main housing. Upon admission of vacuum pressure to the primary housing and output plunger moves in a first stage at the end of which vacuum pressure is admitted to the auxiliary housing causing it to collapse and move the plunger in a second stage.

  • Patent number: 4117708
    Abstract: A method of forming a cup shaped housing member with an integral inlet tube extending radially to the axis of a cup shaped member from a flat strip of metallic material in progressive dies such that a tube is formed first to extend parallel to the axis of the cup shaped member and in subsequent progressive steps is moved first to a position extending at an angle to the axis and finally to a position extending radially to the axis of the cup shaped member. SUThis invention relates to a method and apparatus for forming metal parts in progressive dies and more particularly it relates to the method and apparatus of forming a dished housing member with a tube extending radially from the axis of the housing member.To provide a radially extending tube from a housing usually requires the welding of separate parts together or requires forming the assembly from molded materials such as plastic.
