Abstract A carburetor for combustion engines, having upstream of an arbitrarily operated throttle valve, an additional throttling element which is controlled automatically by a membrane unit operated by underpressure of vacuum in accordance with air flow. The additional throttling element controls a fuel jet by means of a needle. The discharge location of the fuel jet is at a point where essentially the same underpressure prevails as in the mixing chamber formed between throttle valve and throttling element. In an enrichment system for the heating phase the fuel jet is controlled by a needle whose variable position is determined by the position of a temperature-sensitive element via a lever, and the fuel quantity for acceleration is varied by means of a second membrane unit. The discharge location of this enrichment system is downstream of the throttling element. The second membrane unit may be actuated by underpressure and may have a pressure chamber closed by a movable membrane loaded by a spring. The pressure chamber has an outflow jet and the membrane operates a valve by means of a plunger.
A carburetor for combustion engines, comprising: an arbitrarily operated throttle valve located upstream and having air funnel means and a throttling element; enrichment means communicating with said throttling element and located downstream thereof for warm-up; said enrichment means having a fuel nozzle controlled by a needle; lever means and temperature sensing means, said needle having a varying position dependent on the position of said temperature sensing means through said lever means; fuel quantity being varied during acceleration by said throttling element for a predetermined time interval; pressure chamber means having fuel entrance means and fuel discharge means in form of a nozzle to a float chamber; two membranes bordering said pressure chamber; spring means for spring loading each of said membranes; one of said membranes having a plunger which opens and closes a bore communicating with said enrichment means upstream of said fuel nozzle; the other one of said membranes being actuatable dependent on the position of the throttle valve.
