Carburetor

Claim 2

A carburetor for an internal combustion engine, said carburetor having an accelerator pump for pushing fuel contained in a first pump chamber of said pump into an air intake of said carburetor when said accelerator pump is operated during acceleration, the improvement comprising: a second pump chamber whose one wall is formed by a diaphragm, said second pump chamber communicating with said first pump chamber via a throttle; and a pressure control means for applying a controlled variable pressure to said pump chamber in a contracting direction, comprising: an atmospheric chamber disposed in opposed relation to said second pump chamber and having said diaphragm as one wall thereof; a spring provided in said atmospheric chamber biasing said diaphragm in a direction of contraction of said second pump chamber; and a negative pressure delaying valve means coupled to said atmospheric chamber and to the atmosphere, said negative pressure delaying valve means having a check valve and a throttle provided in parallel thereby allowing air from said atmospheric chamber to flow unimpededly through said check valve to the atmosphere and delaying air from flowing from the atmosphere through said throttle into said atmospheric chamber, wherein said atmospheric chamber further communicates with the atmosphere via a control valve, said control valve being arranged and configured to open when the temperature of said engine is lower than a predetermined value and is closed when the temperature of said engine is greater than a predetermined value.

Claim 3

A carburetor according to claim 1 wherein said control valve is a temperature sensing valve.

Claim 4

A carburetor according to claim 1 wherein said control valve comprises a solenoid valve which is normally closed when not excited and a temperature sensing switch for exciting said solenoid valve when the temperature of said engine is lower than said predetermined value.

Claim 5

A carburetor for an internal combustion engine, said carburetor having an accelerator pump for pushing fuel contained in a first pump chamber of said pump into an air intake of said carburetor when said accelerator pump is operated during acceleration, the improvement comprising: a second pump chamber whose one wall is formed by a diaphragm, said second pump chamber communicating with said first pump chamber via a throttle; and a pressure control means for applying a controlled variable pressure to said second pump chamber in a contracting direction, comprising: an atmospheric chamber disposed in opposed relation to said second pump chamber and having said diaphragm as one wall thereof; a spring provided in said atmospheric chamber biasing said diaphragm in a direction of contraction of said second pump chamber; a negative pressure delaying valve means coupled to said atmospheric chamber and to the atmosphere, said negative pressure delaying value means having a check valve and a throttle provided in parallel thereby allowing air from said atmospheric chamber to flow unimpededly through said check valve to the atmosphere and delaying air from flowing from the atmosphere through said throttle into said atmospheric chamber; and a temperature sensing valve provided between said atmospheric chamber and said negative pressure delaying valve means, said temperature sensing valve being arranged to configure to be closed when the temperature of the engine is lower than a predetermined value and is open when the temperature of the engine is greater than said predetermined value.

Claim 6

A carburetor for an internal combustion engine, said carburetor having an accelerator pump for pushing fuel contained in a first pump chamber of said pump into an air intake of said carburetor when said accelerator pump is operated during acceleration, the improvement comprising: a second pump chamber whose one wall is formed by a diaphragm, said second pump chamber communicating with said first pump chamber via a throttle; and a pressure control means for applying a controlled variable pressure to said second pump chamber in a contracting direction, comprising: an atmospheric chamber disposed in opposed relation to said second pump chamber and having said diaphragm as one wall thereof; a spring provided in said atmospheric chamber biasing said diaphragm in a direction of contraction of said second pump chamber; a negative pressure delaying valve means coupled to said atmospheric chamber and to the atmosphere, said negative pressure delaying value means having a check valve and a throttle provided in parallel thereby allowing air from said atmospheric chamber to flow unimpededly through said check valve to the atmosphere and delaying air from flowing from the atmosphere through said throttle into said atmospheric chamber; and a temperature sensing valve provided between said atmospheric chamber and said negative pressure delaying valve means, said temperature sensing valve being arranged to configure to be closed when the temperature of the engine is lower than a predetermined value and is open when the temperature of the engine is greater than said predetermined value.
