Patent number: 7896260Abstract: This injector with two valves (7, 10) which open at different fuel pressures so as to establish a primary flow regime and then a secondary flow regime is characterized in that the primary regime is enriched with fuel via an orifice (21) which adds a branch to the primary flow path of the fuel, but which is closed when the secondary valve is displaced so as to prevent enrichment of the fuel in the secondary regime. This invention applies in particular to certain aircraft engines.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2008Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: SnecmaInventors: José Roland Rodrigues, Alain Tiepel

Patent number: 4678440Abstract: A boat and propulsion system especially useful for shallow water operation. A boat, such as a flat bottom fishing boat, is provided with a lowered transom and a platform attached to the transom which extends upwardly at an angle along the sides of the boat to define a well area which receives and drains any backwash. An air cooled internal combustion engine is provided with a straight propeller shaft and propeller attached thereto. A motor plate rigidly attached to the engine may be removably mounted on a swivel-hinge assembly mounted on the platform to allow double axis movement of the engine and propeller in relation to the platform. This provides for a thrusting position with the propeller in the water and a neutral position with the propeller held above the water. A control handle may be removably connected to the motor plate to provide one handed steering and throttle control by the operator.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1986Date of Patent: July 7, 1987Inventors: Roland Rodrigue, Ronnie Rodrigue
