CARBURETER-HOMOGENIZER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 2, acre.

Application filed October 21, 1916. Serial No. 126,968.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, AvIsoN F. HAYNES and RAY HAYNES, citizens of the United States, residing at Dufur, in the county of Wasco, State of Oregon, have invented a new and useful Carburetor-.Homogenizer, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to provide a carburetor homogenizer which wlT'le having increased efficiency in the'production of an e gplosive mixture, can be used as force feed device for delivering the-mixture to the intake manifold, and hence to the cylinders ofthe engine in connection with which the same is used.

Further objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds, it being understood that changes in .the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed,

can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings 2-- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a carbureter constructed in accordance with the present invention. 7

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail section of the same showing the rotary or centrifugal element in section. v

Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on the plane indicated by the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, through the fan casing. I

Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view on the plane indicated by the line 4-4 of 85 Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a similar, view on the plane indicated by the line 55 of Fig. 2.

Arranged within a suitable casing 10 is a centrifugal atomizing member or element 11 consisting of an axial hollow shaft 12. perforated throughout its length, within the member 11, a cylindrical shell 13 and a series of radial vanes 14 connecting the hollow shaft with the shell and disposed helically at the inlet end of the shell and in parallel relation with the axis at and near the outlet end of the same, the spiral disposition ber in more abrupt 'at the inlet end and gradsufficiently fine mesh and the shell preferably embodies in its construction inner and outer layers 15 and 16 of the same material with an interposed layer 17 of felt or other fibrous material constituting a filling. The ends of the member 11 are closed and impervious.

As a means for increasing the rapidity of the carburetion. the shell should be revolved rapidly for which purpose any suitable motive means (not shown) may be connected with the shaft 12 which also carries a blast fan 18 arranged in a casing 19 which is in communication with the casing of the centrifugal member 11, a port to permit of such communication being indicated at 20. The fan casing is provided with an outlet 21 adapted to be placed in communication with the intake manifold of an engine, said passage being provided with a check valve 22 and having a spring seated relief or safety valve 23 so as-to permit of the escape of pressurejn the event of back firing.

Gasolene or other suitable fuel is adapted to be introduced into the air intake pipe 24 by means of a float feed 25 having a nozzle 26 controlled by a valve 27 in the ordinary way, and said air intake pipe is preferably arranged in communication with a heater 28 arranged around or in proximity to the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe 29 of the engine.

With an apparatus such as that described it is possible to secure a more rapid and complete charging of the cylinders, and with the charge in a moreor less condensed condition and hence of greater efiiciency while the action of the centrifugal element of the carbureter serves to finely divide the fuel and insure a thorough mixing thereof with the air and a complete volatilization resulting obviously in economy.

What is claimed is A homogenizer, comprising a cylindrical casing, a suction chamber at one end of said casing, a hollow shaft extending IQIIgIlDHCllnally of and journaled in the casmg, said shaft being perforated Within the casing, as our own, we have hereto aflixed our sigvanes extending from the shaft, the portion natures in the presence of two Witnesses. of said vanes farthest removed from the AVISON F. HAYNES. suction chamber being helical, and a shell RAY HAYNES. 5 mounted on the shaft, the walls of said shell being porous.

Witnesses t J, C. JOHNSTON, In testimony that we claim the foregoing G. D. Bnonm.
