ROBERT D. LOOSE, OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS.
ATTA.HMENT FOR CARBURETERS.1,181;'82:
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 2,1916.
Application filed June 28, 1915. Serial No. 36,756.
To all whom it may concern:
Be 'it known that I. ROBERT D. LoosE, a
citizen. of the United/States, and a resident
of the city of Fort Worth; in the county of
5 Tarrant and State of Texas, have invented
a certain new and useful Improvement in
Attachments for Carbureters; 'and I do
hereby declare that the following descrip-
tion of said invention, taken in connec-
10 tion with the accompanying sheet of draw-
ings, forms a full, clear, and exact specifica-
tion, which. will enable others skilled in the
art to which it appertains to make and use
the same '
15 My invention relates generally to im-
provements in attachment for. carbureters,
and it consists, essentially, in the novel and.
peculiar combination of parts and details of
construction, as hereinafter first fully set
20 forth and described and then pointed out in
the claims.
. The essence of my invention resides in
providing the outlet portion of a carbureter
for a hydro-carbon engine with means,
25 whereby there is induced a vortical whirl
to the volatilized gases passing from said.
carbureter. And correlated therewith are
.other means whereby the. passage of said
gases through the outlet portion of said car-
30 bureter, may, be estopped entirely, or re-
duced in-volume to any desired degree.
Briefly speaking, the outlet portion of my
carbureter is possessed of a plurality of heli-
cal vanes on the interior thereof imparting
35 the vortical whirl or movement to the vola-
tilized mixture passing therethrouoh. And
located between adjacent vanes areprovided
means whereby the mixture may be entirely
stopped from passing through the helical
40 channels produced by said vanes; or said
means may be so. adjusted as to attenuate
the flow of the mixture through the chan-
nels between the adjacent helical vanes as
hereinafter described.
45 In the drawing'already referred to, which
serves to .illustrate my said invention more
fully, Figure 1 is a plan section of my de-
vice, the same being taken in line 1-1 of
Fig. 2 and showing the means for closing the
50 channels between the helical vanes in closed
position. Fig. .2.is a longitudinal vertical
setion of a separate shell in which my in-
vention is embodied, the said section being
taken in line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and likewise
55 designating said channels. as being closedzby said closing means. Fig. 3 is a plan sec;
tion similar to that of Fig. 1, but showing
the channel closing media in a partially
open position to permit an attenuated flow
of volatilized mixture therethrough. Fig. 4 60
is a vertical section in line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is an elevation of the upper portion
of a typical carbureter, within which is 'in-
corporated my invention.
Like parts are indicated by corresponding 65
symbols or characters of reference in all the
figures of the drawing.
It is well known that in the volatilization
of a liquid hydro-carbon as takes place in
the carbureter of an engine of the class de- 70
scribed. there are a plurality of hydro-car-
"bon molecules which pass through the car-
bureter in a liquid state and it is to the end
of breaking up these molecules and insuring
a more thorough mixture that my device is 75
produced.
Referring now tc the drawing. A desig-
nates the upper portion of the shell of a car-
bureter. as seen in Figs. 4 and 5, while A',
Fig. 2. indicates a separate shell adapted to 80
be introduced between a typical type of car-
bureter and the intake manifold of a motor,
so that 'my. inventioni may be installed in
power plants now in operation.
In the case of my device being incorpo- 85
rated as a part of a carbureter. B is the flange
thereof adapted to- mate or match with a .
like flange (not shown) upon the lower tnd
of an intake pipe of a motor of the char-
acter specified, the . bolt holes C being pro- 90
vided whereby the carbureter may be fixed
in position to said flange of said intake pipe.
On the other hand, if my device be consti-
tuted as a separate structure, then there is
formed on the lower end of the shell A', 95
Fig. 2, a flange. 50. . In this iristance, this
flange 50 will connect with a like flange (not
shown) on the carburgter, and the flange B
will connect with the intake manifold as al-
ready described. In either structure the es- 100
sentials of my invention are precisely the
same.
The shell A is annular in plan, as seen in
the drawing and the usual butterfly or other
throttle, valve is dispensed with. Instead, 105
however, there are provided, or integrally
formed within said shell a plurality of ver-
tical helical vanes 10. spaced equidistantly
apart within the shell A, the inner edges
of said vanes abutting, or formed integral 110Jul AY ilM CP
