  • Patent number: 4197820
    Abstract: A fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine wherein liquid fuel, as from an automobile gas tank, is supplied to a vapor chamber to maintain a predetermined liquid fuel level in the base of said chamber and in such chamber is transformed into vapor and eventually fed to the engine's intake manifold. Ambient air is admitted to the vapor chamber by an adjustable inlet valve and as the air is drawn through the chamber on its way to the engine it entrains the fuel vapors in the desired fuel-air mixture. The vaporizing of the liquid is increased by an absorbent splash assembly so supported in the vapor chamber that at least a part of such assembly normally engages the liquid fuel.

  • Patent number: 3962847
    Abstract: A coin wrapping device to assure the simple safe stacking and firm and secure wrapping of a roll of coins of selected common diameter having a housing incorporating an elongated cylindrical chamber including an arcuate trough of appropriate diameter and an arcuate hinged cover therefor, a manually rotatable shaft in the cover parallel with the chamber and a resilient friction roller on the shaft with part of its circumference projecting through an aperture in the cover into the chamber in spaced relation to said trough. The housing for the coin wrapping chamber is mounted on a base that provides also a flat work surface for preliminary folding of an end of a conventional paper wrapper prior to introducing the same to the wrapping chamber.
