Abstract
Abstract An improved air-fuel mixture intake system for use in a internal combustion engine having a light load side intake passage and a heavy load side intake passage which are joined each other in the vicinity of an intake valve of the engine. The intake system includes engine deceleration detecting means, a first on-off valve provided in a fuel supplying path of a light load side carburetor, an air supplying passage opened into the heavy load side intake passage at downstream of a heavy load side carburetor throttle valve, and a second on-off valve provided in the air supplying passage for reduction of noxious hydrocarbon formation and prevention of after-burning, with suppression of undesirable knocking.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
172 words
An air-fuel mixture intake system for use in an internal combustion engine having a light load side intake passage and a heavy load side intake passage which are connected to a intake port of the internal combustion engine, and an intake valve provided on the intake port, said airfuel mixture intake system comprising means for detecting decelerated of engine speed, first valve means provided in a fuel supplying path of a light load side carburetor, said first valve means being actuated, during the engine deceleration, by signal from said deceleration detecting means for interrupting supply of fuel through said fuel supplying path, an air supplying passage opened at its one end into said heavy load side intake passage at down-stream of a heavy load side carburetor throttle valve, and second valve means provided in said air supplying passage, said second valve means being actuated to be opened, during the engine deceleration, by detection of the engine deceleration for supplying air into said heavy load side intake passage through said air supplying passage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
172 words
An air-fuel mixture intake system for use in an internal combustion engine having a light load side intake passage and a heavy load side intake passage which are connected to a intake port of the internal combustion engine, and an intake valve provided on the intake port, said airfuel mixture intake system comprising means for detecting decelerated of engine speed, first valve means provided in a fuel supplying path of a light load side carburetor, said first valve means being actuated, during the engine deceleration, by signal from said deceleration detecting means for interrupting supply of fuel through said fuel supplying path, an air supplying passage opened at its one end into said heavy load side intake passage at down-stream of a heavy load side carburetor throttle valve, and second valve means provided in said air supplying passage, said second valve means being actuated to be opened, during the engine deceleration, by detection of the engine deceleration for supplying air into said heavy load side intake passage through said air supplying passage.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
An air-fuel mixture intake system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said fuel supplying path of said light load side carburetor includes a slow system fuel passage and a main system fuel passage, with said first valve means being provided in said slow system fuel passage.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
An air-fuel mixture intake system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said fuel supplying path of said light load side carburetor includes a slow system fuel passage and a main system fuel passage, with said first valve means being provided in said main system fuel passage.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
52 words
An air-fuel mixture intake system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said fuel supplying path of said light load side carburetor includes a slow system fuel passage and a main system fuel passage, with said first valve means being provided both in said slow system fuel passage and main system fuel passage.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
An air-fuel mixture intake system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a first actuating means for actuating said first valve means, which is a first diaphragm device which simultaneously acts as said deceleration detecting means and said actuating means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
An air-fuel mixture intake system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a first actuating means for actuating said first valve means, which is a first actuating device operated by signal from said deceleration detecting means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
An air-fuel mixture intake system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said air supplying passage is opened at its other end into atmosphere through said second valve means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
80 words
An air-fuel mixture intake system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a second actuating means for actuating said second valve means, which is a second diaphragm device connected to one end of a negative pressure deriving passage whose other end is opened into a light load side intake manifold which is coupled to said light load side intake passage for causing the second valve means to open during engine deceleration through negative pressure introduced into said second diaphragm device.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
44 words
An air-fuel mixture intake system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a second actuating means for actuating said second on-off valve means, which is a second actuating device which is actuated to open said second valve means through detection of the engine deceleration.
