Abstract: A carburetor is described, comprising a main barrel; a throttle; an idle system positioned between a cavity full of fuel and the main barrel, with progression and idle mixture holes, the opening of which is regulated by the conical point of an element to be positioned in a first position with respect to the said idle mixture hole by means of screws; the system comprises a hole for metering the fuel and a bush for metering the emulsion air; a first electromagnetic element has an obturator for closing the said hole with a ball; the element is connected to the movable keeper of a second electromagnetic device for moving the conical point away from the idle mixture hole; control devices are present to operate the said electromagnetic devices during accelerator release.

Abstract: A carburetor comprises: a main barrel; a throttle situated in the barrel; an idle system which, from a cavity full of fuel, opens into the main barrel through progression and idle mixture holes; the idle system comprises elements for metering fuel and air, which form a primary emulsion. There are several suitably sized passages in the idle system through which the fuel or emulsion flow; the following cooperate with the said passages: first elements for excluding the flow from some of the said passages, keeping at least one open to prevent the idle system from emptying during accelerator release; second organs for positioning the said first elements; third devices for recognizing accelerator release and checking the said second organs.

Abstract: An electrically-operated fuel pump is provided for supplying fuel to the fuel injection system of a spark-ignition I.C. engine. The pump comprises a casing wherein there is located a small electric motor and a rotary pumping assembly. The rotor of the motor is drivingly coupled to the impeller of the pumping assembly. The pump also includes a pressure relief valve for preventing the build up of excessive pressures within the casing, and a non-return valve provided at the pump outlet. The pump casing serves not only as a fuel containment member and a mechanical supporting structure, but also as the magnetic frame of the motor stator.

Abstract: A carburetor for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles, having a suction conduit supplied with fuel from a float chamber in which the fuel is kept at a constant level by a needle valve actuated by a pair of floats. The float chamber has vertical side walls and the outer surfaces of the floats, particularly those facing the walls of the float chamber, are also vertical. A main jet is located on a vertical line passing through the center of gravity of a plane figure defined by sectioning a horizontal plane by a spatial figure defined between the inner walls of the float chamber and the outer surfaces of the floats. The main jet is supported by a columnar structure having vertical walls, suspended from the cover of the carburetor and accommodating the main and idling circuits of the carburetor.

Abstract: A correction device for correcting the air-fuel ratio of the mixture deli vered by a carburetor is described; the device comprises a first channel communicating, at one end, with a gasoline delivering circuit and with the atmosphere, respectively, through two conduits, end at the other end, with the intake conduit of the carburetor in a zone located near the rim of the throttle; opening into the said first channel, is a first end of a second channel whose other end communicates with the atmosphere, and along the said second channel there is disposed valve means arranged to interrupt the said communication with the atmosphere in response to the variations of the vacuum in the said intake conduit downstream of the throttle valve of the carburetor.

Abstract: An injection valve comprising a hollow casing containing an electromagnetic winding connected to a source of electric pulses, an armature in the casing near the winding, a likewise hollow nozzle held by the casing so as to extend therein for a length defined by the geometrical requirements of the intake manifold so as suitably to position the fuel discharge aperture at the front end of the manifold, a closure means having a first end secured to the armature, an external surface coupled to the inner surface of the nozzle, to guide the travel of the closure means, and a second end comprising a conical part adapted to come in contact with a conical seat formed in the nozzle immediately upstream of a bore and bearing a fuel-atomizing deflector which co-operates with the bore in the nozzle to define the fuel discharge aperture, the conical part forming a seal when, under the action of a resilient force, it is in contact with the conical seat whereas it opens the discharge aperture under the action of the magnetic

Abstract: A pressure regulator is provided for the fuel injection system of a spark ignition internal combustion engine. The regulator is designed to regulate the pressure at which fuel is delivered to the fuel injectors, this pressure being constantly referenced to a predetermined value for the purpose of maintaining the correct air/fuel mixture ratio for all conditions of use of the engine. In general terms, the regulator comprises an arrangement of various mechanical components which act to divide the flow of fuel delivered by a supply pump into two parts; one part of this flow is supplied to the injectors which take up the quantity required by the operating conditions of the engine, the remaining part being returned to the motor vehicle tank. To facilitate manufacture and assembly of the regulator, a particular form is given to the regulator valve element used to effect division of the fuel flow.

Abstract: A carburetor for internal combustion engines comprises, inter alia, a body tube into which the main feed circuit and the idling and progression feed circuit open.During cold-engine starting and operation, the richness and flow rate of the mixture delivered by the carburetor has to be increased. For this purpose, choke valves disposed in the carburetor body tube upstream of the main feed circuit have been used for some time, these when closed enabling the fuel to flow from this latter feed circuit even for low air throughputs through the tube. The carburetor throttle valve is also disposed in a "fast idle" position in order to increase the mixture flow rate.The invention generally relates to a device which controls the positions of the choke valve and throttle valve by taking account of the engine temperature, and more particularly which makes said positions entirely automatic, independently of correct use by the driver.

Abstract: An electromagnetically actuated fuel injector is disclosed which includes an electrically wound core and a coaxial moving iron. A needle valve is secured to the iron to close an aperture provided in a bushing. The front surface of the core has an insulated thickening which serves to center the moving assembly and to limit opening travel.

Abstract: The pressure regulator keeping a constant difference between the fuel pressure supplied to the injectors and the fuel pressure in the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine, comprises a pressure sensitive diaphragm associated with closure means of the inlet opening of a fuel returning pipe to the vehicle tank. Spherical joint means are disposed between said closure means and said inlet opening in order to maintain a parallel relationship between them.
