Abstract
Abstract A carburetor for an internal combustion engine has a circuit for delivering a primary air/fuel mixture into the induction passage and means for correcting the richness of the airfuel mixture in dependence of the amplitude of the alternating component of the depression which prevails in operation in the induction passage. The correction device has a movable member which meters an air or fuel flow cross-sectional area in the circuit. The position of the movable member is controlled in dependence of the alternating component by a pressure sensitive diaphragm. A frequency filter connects the induction passage and chambers separated by the diaphragm for dampening the alternating component of the depression by an amount which increases with the frequency of that component.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A carburettor for an internal combustion engine having an induction passage, a circuit for delivering a primary air/fuel mixture into said induction passage and a device for correcting the richness of the air/fuel mixture supplied by the carburettor in dependence of the amplitude of the alternating pressure component which prevails in operation in the induction passage, wherein said correction device has a member for metering a fuel or air flow cross-sectional area in said circuit and means for controlling said member in dependence of said alternating component, including a capillary tube and a capacity located in series flow relation from the induction passage to the member, constituting a frequency filter which transmits the depression which prevails in the induction passage with a dampening of the alternating component which increases with the frequency of that component.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A carburettor for an internal combustion engine having an induction passage, a circuit for delivering a primary air/fuel mixture into said induction passage and a device for correcting the richness of the air/fuel mixture supplied by the carburettor in dependence of the amplitude of the alternating pressure component which prevails in operation in the induction passage, wherein said correction device has a member for metering a fuel or air flow cross-sectional area in said circuit and means for controlling said member in dependence of said alternating component, including a capillary tube and a capacity located in series flow relation from the induction passage to the member, constituting a frequency filter which transmits the depression which prevails in the induction passage with a dampening of the alternating component which increases with the frequency of that component.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A carburettor according to claim 1, wherein said member cooperates with a calibrated aperture for defining a passage for emulsion air located in parallel flow relation with a supplemental permanently open air inlet restrictor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
A carburettor according to claim 1, wherein the correction device comprises a main diaphragm separating two chambers and connected to said member for controlling the position thereof, said chambers being connected to said capacity by respective non return valves of low inertia whose opening directions are opposed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A carburettor according to claim 3, wherein said chambers are connected by a restricted port.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
61 words
A carburettor according to claim 3, wherein each of said chambers is limited by an auxiliary diaphragm subjected, on one face, to the atmospheric pressure and secured to said member, the effective areas of action of the pressures on the two auxiliary diaphragms being equal and being less than the effective area of action of the pressures on the main diaphragm.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
124 words
A carburettor for internal combustion engine, having an induction passage, a circuit opening into said induction passage to deliver a primary air/fuel mixture into the induction passage, said circuit having fuel supply means, permanently open restricted air inlet, a second air inlet, a movable member projecting by a variable amount into said second air inlet for metering the effective flow cross-sectional area of said second air inlet, pressure responsive means for controlling the amount of projection of said member into said second inlet, and means for applying to said pressure responsive means a pressure differential which is in proportion to the alternating component of the depression which prevails in said intake passage with a damping which increases with the frequency of said alternating component.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
124 words
A carburettor for internal combustion engine, having an induction passage, a circuit opening into said induction passage to deliver a primary air/fuel mixture into the induction passage, said circuit having fuel supply means, permanently open restricted air inlet, a second air inlet, a movable member projecting by a variable amount into said second air inlet for metering the effective flow cross-sectional area of said second air inlet, pressure responsive means for controlling the amount of projection of said member into said second inlet, and means for applying to said pressure responsive means a pressure differential which is in proportion to the alternating component of the depression which prevails in said intake passage with a damping which increases with the frequency of said alternating component.
