Patent number: 4300502Abstract: A fuel economizer system and fuel flow control valve arrangement for an internal combustion engine having a fuel supply tank, a main fuel supply line connecting the tank to the carburetor inlet of the engine, and a fuel pump in the supply line for delivering fuel to the carburetor inlet. The control valve arrangement is located in the fuel supply line between the fuel pump and the carburetor inlet, and includes a first control valve which is automatically incrementally adjusted between closed and open position by a diaphragm motor which is operatively connected to the intake manifold of the engine such that changes in vacuum in the intake manifold automatically adjust the control valve to proportionally increase or decrease the supply of fuel to the carburetor inlet.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1980Date of Patent: November 17, 1981Assignee: Driggers & Associates, Inc.Inventor: Vernon J. Driggers

Patent number: 4286562Abstract: An engine charge forming device controls the fuel metering orifice area in proportion to the throttled air flow area of the induction passage and controls the pressure drop across the fuel metering orifice in proportion to a vacuum signal which is substantially independent of the compressibility effects of throttled air flow; fuel flow is thereby proportioned to air flow throughout the range of engine operating conditions. Adjustments are provided for varying the fuel metering orifice area to set minimum and maximum fuel flows, and controls are provided for modifying the vacuum signal to vary air-fuel ratio.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 1979Date of Patent: September 1, 1981Assignee: General Motors CorporationInventor: Donald D. Stoltman

Patent number: 4285700Abstract: A fuel enrichment apparatus and method is shown for a gaseous fuel carburetor of either a fixed venturi or air valve type. The apparatus provides fuel enriching at the starting and wide open throttle conditions of the carburetor when the pressure drop in the induction passage is at a minimum. The apparatus also economizes on fuel usage by being closed to fuel transfer at idle speed and normal engine speed. The apparatus operates from the fuel supply line to the carburetor with only the fuel pressure available in that line, thereby obviating the need for either a second fuel line or a high pressure fuel line.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1979Date of Patent: August 25, 1981Assignee: Borg-Warner CorporationInventor: Clarence D. Fox

Patent number: 4275694Abstract: An electronic controlled fuel injection system for use in an internal combustion engine is disclosed which comprises a Karman's vortex flow sensor for measuring the flow of air supplied to the engine to provide an intake air flow indicative signal, a flow deriving circuit responsive to throttle opening and engine speed measurements for deriving an intake air flow measurement to provide an intake air flow indicative signal, a control circuit for providing an injection pulse signal in synchronism with rotation of the engine, the injection pulse signal having its pulse width determined in accordance with the intake air flow measurement, and a signal selector responsive to engine operating condition for passing the intake air flow indicative signal from the Karman's vortex flow sensor to the control circuit when the engine is under low load conditions and for passing the intake air flow indicative signal from the flow deriving circuit to the control circuit when the engine is under high load conditions.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 1979Date of Patent: June 30, 1981Assignee: Nissan Motor Company, LimitedInventor: Hatsuo Nagaishi

Patent number: 4266520Abstract: A fuel-air mixture arrangement with an air-compressing supercharger for a combustion engine with continuous fuel injection into the intake pipe which holds an air quantity meter, a pivotal ram flap and a throttle flap are arranged behind each other. The air quantity meter, depending on its deflection, actuates a fuel metering unit. The fuel metering proceeds at constant pressure drop in the fuel. This pressure drop can be varied depending on certain coefficients, and the pressure drop on a valve is varied by a control pressure valve to which controlling variables are applied. The set pressure drop at the metering cross sections of the fuel metering units is kept constant by the valve operated by the control pressure valve. The air quantity meter is located downstream of the air compressing supercharger and the control pressure valve receives the supercharger air pressure prevailing upstream of the throttle flap via a diaphragm unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1979Date of Patent: May 12, 1981Assignee: Pierburg GmbH & Co. KgInventor: Hans-Jurgen Muller

Patent number: 4248188Abstract: A diaphragm operated, air fuel control system for controlling the rate of fuel flow to an internal combustion engine in response to intake manifold pressure is disclosed wherein the transient response of the diaphragm operator is attenuated by a fuel filled control chamber. An attenuator assembly connected with the control chamber causes fuel to be supplied to the chamber at a rate which is greater than the rate at which fuel may be discharged from the control chamber. In one embodiment the chamber is formed on the side of the diaphragm operator which is opposite to the side to which intake manifold pressure is supplied. In another embodiment the control chamber is formed to receive one end of a plunger valve connected with the diaphragm operator.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1978Date of Patent: February 3, 1981Assignee: Cummins Engine Company, Inc.Inventors: Harry L.
