Abstract
Abstract A variable-venturi nozzle for the measurement and regulation of flows in gas conduits, in particular in internal combustion engine intakes, wherein at least one wall element in the zone of the venturi throat thereof is in the form of at least one elastic wall deformable under the action of the pressure of a control fluid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
A device for preparing a carburized mixture for an internal combustion engine comprising: means defining a venturi throat in a fluid conduit; at least one wall element in the zone of the throat of the venturi being constituted by at least one flexibly deformable chamber member under the action of pressure from a regulating fluid; said flexibly deformable chamber member being sheathed locally by at least one deformable nozzle member subjected to the pressure of at least one regulating fluid assuring local, controlled deformation of the nozzle member to be regulated wherein said venturi throat has an inlet duct for liquid or gaseous fuel, located in the body of a double down-draft carburetor, said carburetor including a first and second barrel member with said deformable nozzle member being disposed in said second barrel member so as to permit a variation in the annular section between the inlet duct and itself in response to a pressure condition in said first chamber and further comprising a hollow, cylindrical element disposed along the axis of said deformable nozzle member including radial passages for feeding said fuel into said venturi throat at a position located above said throat.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
194 words
A device for preparing a carburized mixture for an internal combustion engine comprising: means defining a venturi throat in a fluid conduit; at least one wall element in the zone of the throat of the venturi being constituted by at least one flexibly deformable chamber member under the action of pressure from a regulating fluid; said flexibly deformable chamber member being sheathed locally by at least one deformable nozzle member subjected to the pressure of at least one regulating fluid assuring local, controlled deformation of the nozzle member to be regulated wherein said venturi throat has an inlet duct for liquid or gaseous fuel, located in the body of a double down-draft carburetor, said carburetor including a first and second barrel member with said deformable nozzle member being disposed in said second barrel member so as to permit a variation in the annular section between the inlet duct and itself in response to a pressure condition in said first chamber and further comprising a hollow, cylindrical element disposed along the axis of said deformable nozzle member including radial passages for feeding said fuel into said venturi throat at a position located above said throat.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein said deformable nozzle member is formed by a flexible sleeve, lined on a level with the venturi with said deformable chamber member comprising an essentially annular-shaped flexible element which surrounds said flexible sleeve and which is subjected by means of a hydro-pneumatic control to pressure at said venturi throat.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
101 words
A device for preparing a carburized mixture according to claim 2, wherein said deformable chamber member is deformable by a vacuum existing in an intake line connected to a vacuum orifice disposed in said first barrel member, said deformation being controlled by means of a double-diaphragm triple capacity control device including a lower, middle, and upper chamber, with a first diaphragm disposed between said lower and middle chamber and a second diaphragm disposed between said middle and upper chambers, said control device being connected to said deformable chamber for controlling deformation of said deformable chamber member in response to said vacuum.
