spread out and exposed to a greater number
of molecules of oxygen. Since the deflector
30 is supported by the flue plate 13 and is
spaced therefrom, the lighter particles will
g be drawn over the edge of said deflector and
through the flues nearest the center of said
flue plate, while the heavier particles will be
received by the outer flues and the unva-
porized portion discharged against the con-
g verging sides of the casing 18. These flues
are concentrically curved so as to receive the
rotating mixture from the carbureting
chamber, and are supported at the lower end
only, so that auxiliary air may. be admitted
65 among the flues by means of the annular-
valve 20, the whole mixture passing from
the mixing chamber to the engine in a more
homogeneous mass than is possible without
the use of the flues. Air valves 20, 31 and
20 35 rotate about their axes to open and close
their respective ports.
Having thus described my invention, I
desire to claim, by Letters Patent, the fol-
lowing:
25 1. In a device of the character described,
the combination with a fuel duct; of a plu-
rality of air'passages, concentric with said
fuel duct; a carbureting chamber, adjacent
to said fuel duct and air passages, and ar-
So ranged to receive fuel and air, respectively,
therefrom; and a flange projecting inwardly
from the wall of said carbureting chamber.
2. In a device of thecharacter described,
the combination with a fuel duct; of a plu-
35 rality of air passages, each surrounding said
fuel. duct; a carbureting chamber, adjacent
to said fuel duct and air passages, and ar-
ranged to receive fuel an air, respectively,
therefrom; and a flange projecting inwardly
40 from the wall of said carbureting chamber.
3. In a device of the character described,
the combination with a carbureting cham-
ber ; of an air passage arranged to discharge
into said carbureting chamber; a fuel nozzle
45 mounted in said air passage and. arranged to
discharge into said carbureting chamber; a
plurality of spiral partitions spanning said
air passage and arranged to impart rotation
bodily to the air passing said fuel nozzle;
50 and a flange projecting inwardly from the
wall of said carbureting chamber.
4. In a device of the character described,
the combination with an air passage; of a
fuel nozzle mounted therein; a flared carbu-
55 reting chamber, having its smaller end ad-
jacent to said air passage and fuel nozzle
and arranged to receive air and fuel, respec-
tively, therefrom; and a flange projecting
inwardly from the wall of said carbureting
60 chamber and forming.therewith a.receptacle.
for receiving the heavier fuel particles.
5. In a device of the character described,
the combination with an air passage; of a
fuel nozzle mounted therein; a flared carbu-05 reting chamber, having its smaller end adja-
cent to said air passage and fuel nozzle, and
arranged to receive air and fuel, respec-
tively, therefrom; a. means for bodily rotat-
ing said air column about said fuel nozzle
so that the fuel discharged from said nozzle 70
shall be subjected to centrifugal force and
discharged from said nozzle in a diverging
spray; and a means provided upon the wall
of said carbureting chamber for receiving
the heavier particles of fuel spray and re- 75
training the same until they are further
vaporized.
6. In a device of the character described,
the combination with an air passage; of a
fuel nozzle mounted therein; a flared carbu- so
reting chamber, having its smaller end ad-
jacent to said air passage and fuel nozzle
and arranged to receive air and fuel, respec-
tively, therefrom; a flange projecting in-
wardly from the wall of said carbureting 85
chamber and forming therewith a receptacle
for receiving the heavier fuel particles; and
a spray deflector in said carbureting cham-
ber, adjacent to said fuel nozzle, and adapt-
ed .to deflect. the said fuel spray toward said 90
receptacle.
7. In a device of the character described,
the combination with an air passage; of a
fuel nozzle mounted therein; a flared carbu-
reting chamber, having its smaller end adja- 95
cent.to said air passage and fuel nozzle and
arranged to receive air and fuel, respec-
tively, therefrom; a flange projecting in-
wardly from the wall of said carbureting
chamber and forming therewith a recep- 100
tacle for receiving the heavier fuel particles;
a spray deflector in said carbureting cham-
ber, adjacent to said fuel nozzle, and adapt-
ed to deflect the fuel spray toward said re-
ceptacles; and a needle fuel valve, carried 105
by said deflector and coperating with said
fuel nozzle to open and close the same, and
adapted to divide .the fuel in said nozzle so
as to form an annulus of fuel around said'
fuel valve. 110
8. In a device of the character described,
the combination with a fuel duct; of a
primary air duct; an auxiliary air duct; a
passage leading' from said ducts to an en-
gine; a flue plate within said passage and 115
between said primary air duct and. said aux-
iliary air duct; a plurality of flues, mounted
at one end upon said flue plate and having
their other ends free, said fuel duct and
primary air duct discharging through said 120
flues and said auxiliary air duct discharging
among said flues.
9. In a device of the .character described,
the combination with a fuel duct; of a pri-
mary air duct; an auxiliary air duct; a 125
passage leading from said ducts to an en-
gie; a flue support within said passage and
between said primary air duct and said
auxiliary air duct; a plurality of flues,mounted at one end upon saidflue support 130
