Abstract: This carburetor comprises plural cell carburetors which are controlled by a servo controller which controls the internal pressure of the carburetor to maintain the pressure constant by opening the air paths of needed number of the cell carburetors.Every one of the cell carburetors is either completely opened or almost closed; that is there is no intermediate opening between said two conditions except for special use.The ratios of air to fuel which is produced in each cell carburetor are predetermined for both the open and almost closed positions.Needed air and fuel are supplied by a combination of the cell carburetors which are selected from combinations of the cell carburetors to be selected for the working condition of the combustion engine.

Abstract: Disclosed is a variable venturi type carburetor comprising a movable suction piston. The suction piston has a needle entering into a stationary jet. The needle and the jet defines an annular opening through which the fuel is injected into the intake passage formed in the carburetor. The fuel recirculating pump is connected to the fuel tank via the fuel recirculating passage. A restricted opening is formed in the fuel recirculating passage for forming a vacuum zone in the fuel recirculating passage located between the fuel recirculating pump and the restricted opening. The vacuum zone is connected to the jet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a regulating arrangement for metering a supplementary quantity of air for improving the combustion in internal combustion engines or afterburning of exhaust gases. The amount of air entering the regulating arrangement is metered as a function of the engine speed by means of an air pump driven by the engine. Part of the air entering the regulating arrangement is removed and returned depending on predetermined parameters. An auxiliary device responds to an emergency signal for the immediate shutoff of the fuel or fuel-air mixture used in the combustion. The emergency signal is transmitted by means monitoring the fuel-air ratio within substantially narrow tolerance limits of a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: A system for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine for optimum efficiency in engine operation and fuel economy and for minimum objectionable exhaust emissions. The system pertains particularly to an internal combustion engine in an automobile, truck, or the like. Fuel is heated prior to introduction thereof into the engine. Fuel is introduced to the engine in accordance with manifold pressures.

Abstract: A device is disclosed which may prevent engine dieseling, fuel waste, and reduce exhaust emissions by preventing idle system fuel mixture from entering the carburetor of a vehicle at various times.

Abstract: An i.c. engine fuel system uses a conventional carburettor modified by the addition of an air pressure control to the float chamber thereof. The air pressure control includes a bank of valves connected in parallel to exhaust a chamber connected by an orifice to the engine intake manifold. The chamber is connected to the float chamber and the valves are controlled by the individual bits of a digital output signal produced by a digital read only memory addressed by digital signals corresponding to two engine parameters such as engine speed and throttle angle.

Abstract: A float bowl of an automotive engine carburetor is air-tightly covered by a diaphragm which is securely fixed to an electromagnetic transducer to be vibrated for controlling air pressure acting on the fuel being confined within the float bowl, whereby the amount of fuel delivered to the engine from the float bowl is controlled in dependence of the electrical signal applied.

Abstract: In an internal combustion engine with exhaust means and a carburetor including a fuel bowl, means are provided for delivering fuel to the fuel bowl at a pressure varying in response to the output signal of an air-fuel ratio sensor in the exhaust means to maintain a substantially constant air-fuel ratio to the engine. The fuel supply means may comprise, for example, an electric fuel pump whose input power is varied according to the sensor signal.

Abstract: The output of an oxygen concentration detector monitoring the conditions of exhaust gases from an internal-combustion engine is not a linear function of the concentration but varies widely. When feeding this output back to control the air-fuel ratio of the mixture being fed to the engine, the feed back system having the small time constant (small delay time in operation) becomes unstable due to the nonlinear output of the oxygen concentration detector. In order to stabilize the operation of the system the output of the oxygen concentration detector is input to compensating circuit which outputs the voltage being proportioned to the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas and the output is used as the feedback signal.

Abstract: Fuel injectors or a carburetor is electronically controlled to alternately deliver optimally rich and lean air-fuel mixtures to each combustion chambers.

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.

Abstract: A carburettor for an internal combustion engine includes a chamber into which fuel is introduced from a metering valve to produce a fuel/air mixture in the chamber. A main valve controls the rate of flow of fuel/air mixture from the chamber and a further valve upstream of the main valve is provided the opening of which controls the opening of the metering valve. The further valve opens so as to keep the pressure between the main and further valve constant with changes in flow rate through the chamber. Means are provided to provide an indication of the pressure of fuel/air mixture downstream of the main valve such that the metering valve can be further opened as a function of changes in said pressure downstream of the main valve.

Abstract: In an internal combustion engine carburetor the idle mixture adjusting valve is supported in a guide member. A sleeve slides on the guide member and carries a closure portion engageable with a seat surrounding the idle fuel discharge port. A solenoid energized during deceleration moves the sleeve to engage the closure portion with the seat and interrupt fuel flow through the discharge orifice.

Abstract: In an internal combustion engine carburetor the idle mixture adjusting valve has a tapered metering portion disposed in the idle fuel discharge orifice and a separate closure portion engageable with a seat. A solenoid energized during deceleration moves the valve to engage the closure portion with the seat and interrupt fuel flow through the discharge orifice.

Abstract: A carburetor for an internal combustion engine has a throttle valve in an intake channel for the passage of air and fuel to the engine. A fuel discharge nozzle and a piston valve in the intake channel upstream of the throttle valve cooperatively regulate the volume of fuel and air mixed in a mixture region of the intake channel between the piston valve and the throttle valve. Drive means position the piston valve in the intake channel relative to the nozzle in response to distinct control means dependent upon operating conditions of the internal combustion engine to regulate the mixture in dependence upon the operating conditions of the engine.

Abstract: A four barrel carburetor is provided with apparatus that operates automatically during predetermined engine deceleration operating conditions to crack open the secondary induction passage throttle valve to supply a quantity of fuel and air to the engine that is supplemental to that being supplied through the primary induction system, to decrease the output of harmful emissions by causing a cleaner burn.

Abstract: What follows is a description of a fuel metering system for internal combustion engines having a measuring probe. The probe monitors the composition of the exhaust gas and produces an output signal which is used to govern the motions of a magnetic valve which in turn regulates the amount of air mixed in with fuel prior to the admission of this mixture to the veturi in the suction tube of the carburator.

Abstract: A fuel-air vaporizing apparatus including fuel metering means discharging a regulated fuel flow into a heated airflow within a conduit for subsequent and remote discharge into the air induction system of an engine. A nozzle structure, subjected to vacuum pressure, discharges fuel below an induction regulating valve. Fuel and air linkage, jointly operated by the driver's throttle, actuate said fuel metering means and the air induction regulating valve in a synchronized manner to provide an optimum, completely vaporized fuel-air mixture to the engine. An idle assembly controls engine operation during both idling and other closed throttle conditions. Said idle assembly functions to cut off fuel flow during vehicle deceleration with fuel flow resuming upon certain engine conditions being reached. Temperature responsive means are associated with both the idle assembly and the fuel-air linkage to assure optimum fuel-air ratios throughout a range of engine temperatures.

Abstract: In a carburetor having a two-stage power valve and an off-idle air bleed, a lean air-fuel mixture may be supplied when it is desirable to operate in a lean mode for optimizing an exhaust gas oxidizing reactor while a rich air-fuel mixture may be provided when it is desirable to operate in a rich mode for optimizing an exhaust gas reducing converter. In the rich mode means comprising a selectively energizable solenoid control closes the off-idle air bleed and opens the first stage of the power valve thereby enriching both off-idle and open throttle air-fuel mixtures. The power valve is also operated by an induction pressure responsive piston, and at high induction pressures both stages may be opened during lean mode operation and the second stage may be opened during rich mode operation for wide open throttle enrichment.
