Abstract
Abstract In a fuel-air mixture supply system, a rotor is provided at the junction of an intake manifold into which the mixture is supplied from the carburetor, and the branch pipes from the intake manifold are arranged equidistantly. The carburetor has a primary side mixture passage and a secondary side mixture passage, and the rotor is disposed beneath the primary side passage and arranged to be checked in rotation corresponding to the opening behavior of a throttle valve in the secondary side mixture passage.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A fuel-air supply system comprising: a two-barrel carburetor having a primary side mixture passage and a secondary side mixture passage therein, a first throttle valve in said primary side mixture passage, a rotatable shaft on which said first throttle valve is mounted, and a second throttle valve in said secondary side mixture passage, said first throttle valve being operatively associated with said second throttle valve, an intake manifold fluidly communicating with said carburetor, said intake manifold having branch pipes and a junction from which said branch pipes extend equidistantly from each other, the center axis of said primary side mixture passage being aligned with the center of the junction of the intake manifold, a rotary member in the junction of said intake manifold, said branch pipes extending radially from said rotary member, and a switch adjacent said rotatable shaft for controlling rotation of said rotary member, said switch being controlled by rotation of said rotatable shaft, whereby when said second throttle valve is opened, said switch is controlled to stop rotation of said rotary member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
175 words
A fuel-air supply system comprising: a two-barrel carburetor having a primary side mixture passage and a secondary side mixture passage therein, a first throttle valve in said primary side mixture passage, a rotatable shaft on which said first throttle valve is mounted, and a second throttle valve in said secondary side mixture passage, said first throttle valve being operatively associated with said second throttle valve, an intake manifold fluidly communicating with said carburetor, said intake manifold having branch pipes and a junction from which said branch pipes extend equidistantly from each other, the center axis of said primary side mixture passage being aligned with the center of the junction of the intake manifold, a rotary member in the junction of said intake manifold, said branch pipes extending radially from said rotary member, and a switch adjacent said rotatable shaft for controlling rotation of said rotary member, said switch being controlled by rotation of said rotatable shaft, whereby when said second throttle valve is opened, said switch is controlled to stop rotation of said rotary member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A fuel-air supply system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a lever connected to said rotatable shaft so as to be movable therewith, said lever being engagable with said switch upon a predetermined rotation of said rotatable shaft.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A fuel-air supply system as claimed in claim 1, wherein: said rotary member is rotatable about an axis aligned with the center of the junction of the intake manifold and the center axis of the primary side mixture passage.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A fuel-air supply system as claimed in claim 3, wherein: said rotary member comprises a disc.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A fuel-air supply system as claimed in claim 4, wherein: said rotary member comprises a blade having a plurality of radially extending arms.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
145 words
A fuel-air supply system comprising: a two-barrel carburetor having a primary side mixture passage and a secondary side mixture passage therein, a first throttle valve in said primary side mixture passage, said first throttle valve being rotatable about an axis, and a second throttle valve in said secondary side mixture passage, said first throttle valve being operatively associated with said second throttle valve, an intake manifold fluidly communicating with said carburetor, said intake manifold having branch pipes and a junction from which said branch pipes extend, the center axis of said primary side mixture passage being substantially aligned with the center of the junction of the intake manifold, a rotary member in the junction of the intake manifold, and means for controlling rotation of said rotary member, said means being operable to stop rotation of said rotary member when said second throttle valve is opened.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
145 words
A fuel-air supply system comprising: a two-barrel carburetor having a primary side mixture passage and a secondary side mixture passage therein, a first throttle valve in said primary side mixture passage, said first throttle valve being rotatable about an axis, and a second throttle valve in said secondary side mixture passage, said first throttle valve being operatively associated with said second throttle valve, an intake manifold fluidly communicating with said carburetor, said intake manifold having branch pipes and a junction from which said branch pipes extend, the center axis of said primary side mixture passage being substantially aligned with the center of the junction of the intake manifold, a rotary member in the junction of the intake manifold, and means for controlling rotation of said rotary member, said means being operable to stop rotation of said rotary member when said second throttle valve is opened.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
39 words
A fuel-air supply system as claimed in claim 6, wherein: said rotary member is rotatable about an axis aligned with the center of the junction of the intake manifold and the center axis of the primary side mixture passage.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
16 words
A fuel-air supply system as claimed in claim 7, wherein: said rotary member comprises a disc.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
23 words
A fuel-air supply system as claimed in claim 7, wherein: said rotary member comprises a blade having a plurality of radially extending arms.
