Inventor: Mowbray, James William

Location: Gleichen

Comments: N/A

Description: Claim
1. A hydro-carbon vaporizer comprising a chamber provided with an outlet and further provided with an intake opening, a combining tube held in said intake opening, means for securing said combining tube in place, the said combining tube being provided with a conical-shaped passageway increasing in area from its intake end to its discharge end, and being provided at its discharge end with an outward beveled valve seat, a spring-controlled valve mounted within said chamber and constructed to co-act with said beveled valve seat of said combining tube, an apertured supporting member surrounding the outer portion of said combining tube, means for supporting said supporting member to said chamber, a spray nozzle tapered towards its discharge end, supported by said supporting member in front of said combining tube and with its tapered end extending a suitable distance into the intake end of said combining tube, the said valve being moved from its seat when the pressure within said chamber is below that of the atmosphere, simultaneous with the inrush and expansion of a current of petrol charged air through said combining tube and into said chamber through the outward flared passageway formed between said valve and its seat, and a valve controlling the passage of petrol into said spray nozzle.
2. A hydro-carbon vaporizer of the class described comprising a heating chamber composed of two walls spaced apart so as to form a chamber in which is passed through an opening, the heating medium, a conduit carried by said heating chamber and communicating therewith, a port provided sleeve carried by said heating chamber and surrounding said conduit and communicating with said chamber, a combining tube communicating with said heating chamber, means for securing said combining tube in place, the said combining tube being provided with a conical-shaped passageway increasing in area from its intake end to its discharge end, and being provided at its discharge end with an outward beveled valve seat of said combining tube, and apertured supporting member surrounding the outer portion of said combining tube, means for supporting said supporting member to said chamber, a spray nozzle tapered toward its discharge end supported by said supporting member in front of said combining tube end with its tapered end extending a suitable distance into the intake end of said combining tube, the said valve being moved from its seat when the pressure within said chamber is below that of the atmosphere, simultaneous with the inrush and expansion of a current of petrol charged air through said combining tube and into said chamber through the outward flared passageway formed between said valve and its seat, and a valve controlling the passage of petrol into said pray nozzle.
3. A hydro-carbon vaporizer of the clad described comprising a heating chamber provided with an intake and an outlet opening and composed of two walls spaced apart so as to form a chamber into which is passed through an opening the hating medium, a conduit carried by said heating chamber and communicating therewith by said outlet opening, a port provided sleeve carried by said heating chamber and surrounding said conduit and communicating with said chamber, a conduit for introducing water into said heating chamber, a combining tube screwing into said intake opening in said heating chamber and provided with a conical-shaped passageway getting larger in area from its intake to its discharge and being provided at its discharge end with an outward beveled valve seat, a spring controlled valve mounted within said heating chamber and seating against said valve seat, an apertured supporting member threaded at its inner end and screwing around part of the inner portion of said combining tube, a spray nozzle tapered toward its discharge and screwing into the outer end of said supporting member and mounted in front of said combining tube with its discharge and extending a suitable distance thereinto, the said valve being moved from its seat when the pressure within said chamber is below that of the atmosphere, simultaneous with the in-rush and expansion of a current of petrol charged air through said combining tube and into said chamber through the outward flared passageway between said valve and its seat, and a valve controlling the passage of petrol into said spray nozzle.
4. A hydro-carbon vaporizer of the class described comprising a heating chamber, a conduit connected therewith, means whereby said chamber and said conduit are heated, a combining tube provided with a conical-shaped passageway carried by said heating chamber and communicating wherewith and opening to the atmosphere, a spray nozzle positioned with its inner end extending a suitable distance through the smaller end of said combining tube, means carried by said combining tube for supporting said spray nozzle in position, a valve stem mounted within said heating chamber and provided with a chamber in it sinner end, a valve mounted to slide on said valve stem, a spring carried by said valve stem and normally holding said valve against the inner end of said combining tube, a valve stem carried by said valve and extending into the chamber formed in said first-mentioned valve stem, a conical-shaped head carried by said second-mentioned valve stem and normally seating against the discharge end of said spray nozzle, a needle valve for controlling the passage of fuel into said spray nozzle, and a conduit whereby water is introduced into said heating chamber, the whole being arranged, as and for the purpose specified.
