Abstract
Abstract A heat insulator for a carburetor, wherein the intake opening of the heat insulator is made smaller than the throttle bore of the carburetor so that an annular shoulder portion is provided at the intake opening so that fuel flowing down as a film along the inner wall surface of the throttle bore is intercepted by the annular shoulder portion so as to make more uniform the distribution of fuel along the periphery of the intake opening, or to modify desirably the distribution of fuel along the periphery of the intake opening.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
In an internal combustion engine having an inlet manifold and a downdraft-type carburetor having a circular bore, a heat insulator, constructed of a material having a low heat conductivity, interposed and clamped between the carburetor and the inlet manifold, said heat insulator comprising a flat elongated body defining a circular intake opening of a diameter smaller than that of said carburetor bore so that an upper annular shoulder portion is provided at the joining boundary of said carburetor bore and said intake opening, said intake opening further including an inversely arranged annular shoulder portion located downstream of said upper annular shoulder portion and formed in the wall of said intake opening and having a downwardly facing annular land face which is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis of said intake opening.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
In an internal combustion engine having an inlet manifold and a downdraft-type carburetor having a circular bore, a heat insulator, constructed of a material having a low heat conductivity, interposed and clamped between the carburetor and the inlet manifold, said heat insulator comprising a flat elongated body defining a circular intake opening of a diameter smaller than that of said carburetor bore so that an upper annular shoulder portion is provided at the joining boundary of said carburetor bore and said intake opening, said intake opening further including an inversely arranged annular shoulder portion located downstream of said upper annular shoulder portion and formed in the wall of said intake opening and having a downwardly facing annular land face which is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis of said intake opening.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The heat insulator of claim 1, wherein the diameter of said intake opening is smaller than that of said throttle bore by an amount of 2-3 mm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The heat insulator of claim 1, wherein said two annular shoulder portions are inclined in the same direction with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis of said intake opening.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The heat insulator of claim 1, wherein said inversely arranged annular shoulder portion has a peripheral portion which substantially joins a lower peripheral portion of said intake opening.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
The heat insulator of claim 1, wherein said inversely arranged annular shoulder portion is located at an axially middle portion of said intake opening.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
The heat insulator of claim 1, wherein said intake opening further includes an inversely arranged shoulder portion located downstream of said first mentioned annular shoulder portion and cut in the wall of said intake opening.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
The heat insulator of claim 6, wherein said inversely arranged annular shoulder portion is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis of said intake opening.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
The heat insulator of claim 7, wherein said inversely arranged annular shoulder portion has a peripheral portion which substantially joins a lower peripheral portion of said intake opening.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
The heat insulator of claim 7, wherein said inversely arranged annular shoulder portion is located at an axially middle portion of said intake opening.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
107 words
In an internal combustion engine having an inlet manifold and a downdraft-type carburetor having a circular bore, a heat insulator, constructed of a material having a low heat conductivity, interposed and clamped between the carburetor and the inlet manifold, said heat insulator comprising a flat elongated body defining a circular intake opening of a diameter smaller than that of said carburetor bore, said intake opening including an upper annular shoulder portion which is formed in the wall of said intake opening and which has an upwardly facing annular land face which is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis of said intake opening.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
107 words
In an internal combustion engine having an inlet manifold and a downdraft-type carburetor having a circular bore, a heat insulator, constructed of a material having a low heat conductivity, interposed and clamped between the carburetor and the inlet manifold, said heat insulator comprising a flat elongated body defining a circular intake opening of a diameter smaller than that of said carburetor bore, said intake opening including an upper annular shoulder portion which is formed in the wall of said intake opening and which has an upwardly facing annular land face which is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis of said intake opening.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
26 words
The heat insulator of claim 10, wherein said shoulder portion is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis of said intake opening.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
76 words
The heat insulator of claim 10, wherein said intake opening further includes an inversely arranged annular shoulder portion located downstream of said upper annular shoulder portion and formed in the wall of said intake opening and having a downwardly facing annular land face which is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis of said intake opening, said upwardly facing annular land face and said downwardly facing annular land face being substantially parallel.
