  • Patent number: 4359244
    Abstract: A unique folding chair having a frame which permits said chair to be easily and conveniently folded into a compact configuration that facilitates both the storage and transport thereof. The frame of the instant folding chair includes a triangular-shaped seat support structure and an arrangement of legs that are spaced relative to one another in positions that correspond to the vertices of a triangle. By virtue of particular coupling assemblies, the structural members of the folding chair of the present invention are adapted to be moved in one or both of two perpendicular directions. Accordingly, the chair may be folded so that the structural members thereof can be arranged in substantially parallel alignment with one another and generally in a single plane.

  • Patent number: 3942499
    Abstract: The system and apparatus herein incorporate means for effectively and significantly reducing the liquid components of the fuel mixture passing through a cylinder located between the carburetor and the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine. The invention includes a stationary circular array of radially arrayed overlapping slanted spaced baffles or blades located in the fuel stream. Formed or otherwise mounted on the lower or trailing edge of each blade is a radially extending flange or scoop which catches and projects liquid components from the fuel stream through a corresponding aperture in said cylinder and into a collection chamber surrounding said cylinder. The collection chamber contains a reticular, webbed, or porous material for retention and drainage of the excess liquid components. Additional means are provided to restore a desired quantity of liquid fuel to the fuel stream when the engine requires temporary surge or demand power.

  • Patent number: 3942500
    Abstract: The system and apparatus herein incorporate means for effectively removing significant quantities of liquid components from the fuel mixture while the latter passes from the carburetor to the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine, and for recovering said liquid components and recycling them through the fuel supply system in order to effect appreciable savings in fuel consumption during operation of the engine. The invention includes means for centrifuging liquid components from the fuel stream into an adjacent collection chamber whence said liquids move continuously into a drain tank which maintains a closed system with the collection chamber. The capture of liquids in the collection chamber may be improved by incorporating a reticular packing therein. Additional means are provided to restore a desired quantity of liquid fuel to the fuel stream when the engine requires temporary surge or demand power.
