Abstract

Abstract A pneumatically operated control valve for use in a carburetor air intake acceleration control. The pneumatically operated valve includes a housing having inlet and outlet ports and a hollow stationary shaft secured to the housing and extending toward one of the ports to receive at the end of the shaft a valve member. The valve member is movably secured to the shaft so as to slide on the shaft and overlie the port thereby controlling the flow of fluid through the valve. A pneumatic control chamber is formed within the valve member and in fluid communication with an air supply through the hollow portion of the stationary shaft. The control chamber has a movable wall therein formed by a diaphragm connected between the valve member and the end of the shaft. Applying air pressure to the control chamber of the valve member causes the valve member and the control chamber to be actuated.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 232 words
A pneumatic control comprising: a sheet-form, cylindrical housing having an open end forming a controlled airflow port and means forming a second port in said housing communicating with said controlled port; an axially extending support shaft fixedly secured to said housing; sheet-form means forming a circular valve member overlying said housing open end and having peripheral edge portions cooperable with said housing to control airflow through said controlled airflow port, said sheet-form means having a centrally disposed clearance aperture formed therein and slidingly received on said support shaft for guiding movement of said valve member axially of said shaft between an open position for admitting air through said housing and a close position for preventing air flow through said housing; means sealingly secured to said valve member and forming an air chamber; passageway means forming an air passage into said air chamber; a flexible diaphragm extending across said air chamber and having peripheral edge portions attached to said valve member and a central portion attached to said post in a manner to form a movable wall for said air chamber; and resilient biasing means urging said valve member toward one of its positions on said sUpport shaft, whereby the pneumatic forces within said air chamber opposing the bias of said resilient means is varied to control movement of said valve member for controlling the flow of air through said control airflow port.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 232 words
A pneumatic control comprising: a sheet-form, cylindrical housing having an open end forming a controlled airflow port and means forming a second port in said housing communicating with said controlled port; an axially extending support shaft fixedly secured to said housing; sheet-form means forming a circular valve member overlying said housing open end and having peripheral edge portions cooperable with said housing to control airflow through said controlled airflow port, said sheet-form means having a centrally disposed clearance aperture formed therein and slidingly received on said support shaft for guiding movement of said valve member axially of said shaft between an open position for admitting air through said housing and a close position for preventing air flow through said housing; means sealingly secured to said valve member and forming an air chamber; passageway means forming an air passage into said air chamber; a flexible diaphragm extending across said air chamber and having peripheral edge portions attached to said valve member and a central portion attached to said post in a manner to form a movable wall for said air chamber; and resilient biasing means urging said valve member toward one of its positions on said sUpport shaft, whereby the pneumatic forces within said air chamber opposing the bias of said resilient means is varied to control movement of said valve member for controlling the flow of air through said control airflow port.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 50 words
A pneumatic control as defined in claim 1, said sheet-form, cylindrical housing having a rolled-over edge portion forming an annular valve seat for said control airflow port; and said sheet-form valve member having a dished configuration for cooperation with said rolled-over edge of said housing to provide a self-aligning valve.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
A pneumatic control as defined in claim 1, said sheet-form valve member having a centrally disposed, recess portion offset inwardly of said cylindrical housing for increasing the rigidity of said valve member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 73 words
A pneumatic control as defined in claim 1, said valve member having a stop portion formed thereon for cooperation with a portion of said housing to limit the movement of said valve member toward the close position so that excessive forces are not applied to the peripheral edge portions of said circular valve member as the same engages said housing, thereby permitting the valve member to be constructed of relatively lightweight sheet material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 28 words
A pneumatic control as defined in claim 1 wherein said passageway means include, in part, a passage formed within said support shaft and opening to said air chamber.
