Patent number: 7971858Abstract: A carburetor includes a main body defining a bore, a main passage and a venturi defined within the bore, and a fuel nozzle carried by the main body and including a fuel nozzle outlet communicating with the venturi. The carburetor may also include a valve member translatable across an axis of the bore, such that in a closed state, the valve member closes the main passage but maintains the venturi at least partially open. The carburetor may also include a needle valve disposed at an end of the fuel nozzle substantially opposite of the fuel nozzle outlet to variably control flow of fuel into a fuel nozzle inlet, and a needle valve transmission may be coupled between a throttle shaft and the needle valve to convert rotation of the throttle shaft to translation of the needle valve.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2008Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Walbro Engine Management, L.L.C.Inventors: Toshimasa Takahashi, Tamio Aihara, Jun Takano, Dairoku Suzuki, Takeshi Sakaguchi

Patent number: 7637482Abstract: In a liquid substance supply device, a three port two valve directional control valve is provided in a transfer line, and a substance container and the transfer line are connected together by a four port three valve directional control valve in such a way that the four port three valve directional control valve and the substance container can be removed from the transfer line as a unit. Furthermore, in a vaporizer, an orifice member is provided to surround the end portion of an internal conduit in which flows a mixture substance consisting of a gas and a liquid substance mixed therewith, and gas for atomization is spouted into a vaporization chamber through a gap defined between the internal conduit and the orifice member. Yet further, the temperature of a vaporization surface in the vaporization chamber can be controlled independently in correspondence with the nature of the liquid substance.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2008Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignees: Shimadzu Corporation, Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naoki Yoshioka, Tatsushi Kawamoto, Mitsushi Kawao, Shigeru Matsuno, Akira Yamada, Shoji Miyashita, Fusaoki Uchikawa

Patent number: 7261281Abstract: A carburetor including a mixture channel and an air channel that are separated from one another, wherein a fuel opening opens into the mixture channel. A throttle element is rotatable about an axis of rotation that extends transverse of the direction of flow in the mixture channel and in the air channel and extends through both channels. As a function of its position, the throttle element throttles a flow cross-section of the mixture channel and the air channel. The flow cross-section of a portion of the mixture channel and/or of the air channel has a non-circular shape in the vicinity of the throttle element.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2005Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Andreas Stihl AG & Co. KGInventor: Michael Raffenberg

Patent number: 4670194Abstract: A carburetor including a fuel inlet and first air inlet delivering fuel and air to a location at which they are intermixed, and from which they flow toward an outlet of the device, with additional air being introduced into the stream through a second air inlet at a location downstream of the fuel inlet and the first air inlet. A fuel metering valve may deliver fuel to the fuel inlet in precisely measured fashion, with the fuel being supplied to the metering valve by a pressure regulator. The second air inlet may include an air valve assembly having sleeves with apertured side walls which are relatively rotatable to vary the rate of delivery of air through that valve assembly. Full vaporization of the fuel may be enhanced by introduction of air into the stream or streams of intermixed fuel and air at other locations along a circuitous path or paths followed by the fuel air mixture.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1985Date of Patent: June 2, 1987Inventors: Wesley E. Buford, Charles G. Buford

Patent number: 4170615Abstract: A carburetor has an induction passage, a fuel circuit and a choke valve positioned at the inlet of the induction passage. A metering rod extends transversely of the induction passage and has a variable diameter end portion projecting into an outlet of the fuel circuit. The metering rod is movable relative to the outlet in response to the choke valve opening and closing to control the quantity of fuel entering the induction passage. An opening force is exerted on the choke valve in response to the vacuum created in the engine, the exertion of this opening force being delayed until after an initial opening force has been exerted on the choke valve. The exertion of the second opening force moves the choke valve from a first position to a second and more fully open position.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1977Date of Patent: October 9, 1979Assignee: ACF Industries, Inc.Inventors: Ralph E. Kalert, John C. Green

Patent number: 4156704Abstract: A staged carburetor has a body in which a pair of induction passages are formed, an inner passage having a venturi and an outer passage encircling the inner passage. A throttle valve positioned at the outlet of the pair of passages controls the flow of air through the passages. Fuel is delivered to the inner passage through a fuel circuit having an outlet at the venturi. A fuel metering rod extends transversely of the passages and has a variable diameter end portion projecting into the outlet. The metering rod is movable relative to the outlet to vary the quantity of fuel delivered. An air valve positioned in the outer passage normally closes the passage whereby air is initially drawn into the engine only through the inner passage. Increased demand for air by the engine results in opening of the air valve so air is drawn into the engine through both passages.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1977Date of Patent: May 29, 1979Assignee: ACF Industries, Inc.Inventors: Ralph E. Kalert, John C. Green

Patent number: 4137284Abstract: A carburetor for controlling the air-fuel mixture entering a carburetor, atomizing the same, and flowing the atomized mixture to the manifold of a vehicle without touching any of the internal surfaces of the carburetor thereby preventing formation of the atomized mixture into liquid thus improving engine operation and efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1977Date of Patent: January 30, 1979Inventor: Boyd D. Barbee

Patent number: 4127627Abstract: The throttle for the air inlet passage of an automobile internal combustion engine comprises a variable restriction diffuser within the passage and designed for sonic velocity gas flow through its region of maximum restriction throughout substantially the entire operating range of the engine. The diffuser comprises an orifice member and a closure member movable axially in opposite direction within the passage to vary the aforesaid maximum restriction and operatively coupled with the throttle control linkage for such movement, whereby the force required to move either diffuser member against the force of the fuel and air inlet flow within the passage is counterbalanced by an oppositely directed force exerted by said flow on the other diffuser member.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1977Date of Patent: November 28, 1978Assignee: Chrysler CorporationInventor: Jorma O. Sarto

Patent number: 4110416Abstract: A separate throttle within each of a pair of air inlet passages for an automobile internal combustion engine comprises a variable restriction diffuser designed for sonic velocity gas flow through its region of maximum restriction throughout substantially the entire operating range of the engine. The diffuser in one of the pair of passages comprises a movable orifice member and a fixed closure member. The diffuser in the other of said passages comprises a fixed orifice member and a movable closure member.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1977Date of Patent: August 29, 1978Assignee: Chrysler CorporationInventor: Jorma O.
