A fuel control device mounting arrangement with a fuel supply manifold

Claim 2

In combination, a fuel supply manifold defined by annular wall means thereof, said annular wall means defining a fuel supply passage in said manifold and having opening means passing therethrough from one side thereof to the opposite side thereof, and a control device disposed in said opening means so as to have one part thereof on one side of said manifold and another part thereof on the opposite side of said manifold with an intermediate part of said control device disposed inside said manifold, said control device having means for conveying fuel adjacent said intermediate part thereof out through said other part thereof, said manifold and said control device having means for orienting said control device in a certain position in said opening means, said orienting means of said manifold comprising a key-way slot formed in said wall means thereof and opening to said opening means, said orienting means of said control device comprising a key-way thereof receivable in said key-way slot.

Claim 3

A combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said one part of said control device defines an annular shoulder with said intermediate part of said control device, said shoulder being adapted to be compacted against said wall means of said manifold outboard of said opening means thereof to prevent said one part from passing into said manifold when said intermediate part is inserted into said opening means.

Claim 4

A combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said one part of said control device carries selector means for selectively interconnecting said intermediate part to said other part for fuel flow purposes.

Claim 5

A combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said control device is fastened to said manifold in said assembled relation therewith.

Claim 6

A combination as set forth in claim 32 wherein sealing means seals said control device in said opening means.

Claim 7

A combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said manifold and said control device have means for orienting said control device in a certain position in said opening means.

Claim 8

A combination as set forth in claim 6 wherein said orienting means of said manifold comprises a key-way slot formed in said wall means thereof and opening to said opening means, said orienting means of said control device comprising a key-way thereof receivable in said key-way slot.

Claim 9

In combination, a fuel supply manifold defined by annular wall means thereof, said annular wall means defining a fuel supply passage in said manifold and having opening means passing therethrough from one side thereof to the opposite side thereof, and a control device disposed in said opening means so as to have one part thereof on one side of said manifold and another part thereof on the opposite side of said manifold with an intermediate part of said control device disposed inside said manifold, said control device having means for conveying fuel adjacent said intermediate part thereof out through said other part thereof, said one part of said control device defining an annular shoulder with said intermediate part of said control device, said shoulder being adapted to be compacted against said wall means of said manifold outboard of said opening means thereof to prevent said one part from passing into said manifold when said intermediate part is inserted into said opening means, said intermediate part of said control device defining another annular shoulder with said other part of said control device, said other shoulder being adapted to be compacted against the inside of said wall means of said manifold outboard of said opening means thereof to prevent said intermediate part from passing out of said manifold when inserted therein from the other side of said manifold.

Claim 10

In combination, a fuel supply manifold defined by annular wall means thereof, said annular wall means defining a fuel supply passage in said manifold and having opening means passing therethrough from one side thereof to the opposite side thereof, and a control device disposed in said opening means so as to have one part thereof on one side of said manifold and another part thereof on the opposite side of said manifold with an intermediate part of said control device disposed inside said manifold, said control device having means for conveying fuel adjacent said intermediate part thereof out through said other part thereof, said one part of said control device defining an annular shoulder with said intermediate part of said control device, said shoulder being adapted to be compacted against said wall means of said manifold outboard of said opening means thereof to prevent said one part from passing into said manifold when said intermediate part is inserted into said opening means, said intermediate part of said control device defining another annular shoulder with said other part of said control device, said other shoulder being adapted to be compacted against the inside of said wall means of said manifold outboard of said opening means thereof to prevent said intermediate part from passing out of said manifold when inserted therein from the other side of said manifold.

Claim 11

A combination as set forth in claim 8 wherein sealing gaskets are disposed between said shoulders and said manifold to seal said shoulders thereto at said opening means.

Claim 12

A combination as set forth in claim 9 wherein said other part of said control device is externally threaded, a nut threaded on said other part and compacting against said wall means to tend to draw said shoulders toward said wall means in sealing relation with said sealing gaskets whereby said control device is fastened to said manifold.
