Patent number: 4850195Abstract: A domestic or industrial fuel spray combustion device which includes a cylinder-shaped swirl chamber into which air streams are introduced; a fuel injection atomizer for spraying fuel to the swirl chamber; an ignition plug; a first combustion cylinder connected through a choke to the swirl chamber, the first combustion cylinder being coaxial with the swirl chamber; and being larger than an equal to the swirl chamber in diameter and a second combustion cylinder connected through a choke to the first combustion cylinder, the second combustion cylinder being coaxial with the first combustion chamber and being equal to or smaller than the first combustion cylinder in diameter. This structure provides a compact combustion device which enables stable combustion even with a small amount of fuel.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1986Date of Patent: July 25, 1989Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Toyota Chuo KenkyushoInventors: Yoichiro Ohkubo, Yoshinori Idota, Yasusi Tanasawa

Patent number: 4574751Abstract: An inlet port for an internal combustion engine has an inlet port opened on an end face of a cylinder chamber at an off-center position, and the inlet hole is provided with an inlet valve and connected to an inlet passage. The inlet passage comprises a swirl generating section and an introducing section, and width between the peripheral surface of the valve stem of the inlet valve and the wall surface of the swirl generating section is made larger at the outside part on the wall side of the cylinder chamber than at the inside part on the center side of the cylinder chamber. The introducing section is connected to the outside part of the swirl generating section. In the plane intersecting perpendicularly to the center line of the introducing section within the parallel plane to the opening face of the inlet hole, the width of the outside part of the swirl generating section is set between 1.1 times and 2.8 times of the width of the inside part.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1984Date of Patent: March 11, 1986Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Toyota Chuo KenkyushoInventors: Katsuhiko Sugiyama, Hiromitsu Kawazoe, Yoshinori Idota

Patent number: 4404859Abstract: A flowmeter comprises a first tube having a first flow passage therethrough with its cross-sectional area being smaller at the outlet than at the inlet, a second tube disposed substantially concentrically within the first flow passage and having a second flow passage therethrough with its cross-sectional area being minimum substantially midway thereof, a third flow passage providing fluid communication between ports opening respectively at a sidewall of the second tube into the second flow passage adjacent to the minimum portion and at a sidewall of the first tube into the first flow passage, and a sensor disposed in either the third flow passage, the sidewall of the first tube, or the sidewall of the second tube for detecting periodic variations of a fluid flowing through the first, second, or third flow passage. The flowmeter detects the frequency of variations in the pressure or speed of a fluid, thus detecting the rate of flow of the fluid through the first and second tubes.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1982Date of Patent: September 20, 1983Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Toyota Chuo KenkyushoInventors: Katsuyuki Ohsawa, Katsuhiko Sugiyama, Yoshinori Idota
