Fuel and air mixing device

Claim 2

The improvement as claimed in claim 1 wherein said rotatable means of the rotor assembly comprises a shaft journalled at its ends within said housing, said members being mounted on said shaft normal to the shaft axis, spacer elements intermediate each of said members with said members and spacers being of a like thickness of approximately one thirty-second of an inch.

Claim 3

The improvement as claimed in claim 2 wherein the perforations extend through the discs and are of an approximate diameter of one-sixteenth of an inch.

Claim 4

A fuel-air mixing device for an internal combustion engine, said device operative in conjunction with a carburetor for the engine initially mixing fuel and air, said fuel-air mixing device comprising, a rotor assembly including a multitude of closely spaced rotatable discs, means rotatably supporting said spaced apart discs for rotation about an axis, said discs having at least one irregular surface, a housing for said rotor assembly defining an inlet area and a discharge area both in communication with an intermediate housing area defined by a housing wall and receiving said rotor assembly, and said inlet and outlet areas terminating at said intermediate housing area in arcuately spaced elongate openings in the housing wall whereby the fuel-air mixture flow is sequentially directed intermediate the discs of the rotor assembly and discharged from said assembly along a course generally parallel to said discs with turbulence being imparted to the fuel-air mixture by the irregular surface of said discs.

Claim 5

The fuel-air mixing device as claimed in claim 5 wherein said inlet area of the housing is tangentially disposed relative to said rotor assembly.

Claim 6

The fuel-air mixing device as claimed in claim 5 wherein said rotatable discs have multiple perforations therein to provide an irregular surface thereon.

Claim 7

The fuel-air mixing device as claimed in claim 7 wherein said inlet area of the housing is tangentially disposed relative to said rotor assembly.

Claim 8

The fuel-air mixing device as claimed in claim 5 wherein both said inlet area and said discharge area of the housing are tangentially disposed relative to said rotor assembly with said rotatable discs having multiple perforations therein to provide an irregular surface thereon.

Claim 9

The fuel-air mixing device as claimed in claim 5 wherein said rotatable means of the rotor assembly comprises a shaft with said discs mountEd thereon normal to the shaft axis, spacer elements intermediate each of said discs with said discs and spacers being of a like thickness of approximately one thirty-second of an inch.

Claim 10

The fuel-air mixing device as claimed in claim 10 wherein the perforations extending through the discs are of an approximate diameter of one-sixteenth of an inch.
