Abstract

Abstract A carburetor for internal combustion engines with an acceleration pump whose pump chamber is connected to the float chamber by a suction duct having a suction valve. The pump chamber also is connected to the intake line section upstream of the throttle by a delivery duct having a pressure valve and a calibrated injection opening. The acceleration pump has a displacement member which is actuated via a linkage by a lever depending on the throttle position. The pump chamber has a flow duct, leading to the float chamber and having a cross section adjustable by means of a screw, and a second adjustable flow duct whose inlet has a valve actuated by the throttle position. The valve may have a spring which presses a closure member, held in a diaphragm, against the inlet overcoming the force of the fuel pressure. This spring also presses a plunger against a second lever arm which actuates the acceleration pump.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 160 words
A carburetor for internal combustion engines with an acceleration pump comprising: a pump chamber, a float chamber; a suction duct connection said pump chamber to said float chamber, said suction duct having a suction valve; a throttle and an intake line section upstream of said throttle; a delivery duct having a pressure valve and a calibrated injection opening, said delivery duct connecting said pump chamber to said intake line section, said acceleration pump having a displacement member; linkage means and lever means, said displacement member being actuated via said linkage means by said lever means depending on the position of said throttle; an adjustment screw; a first flow duct communicating with said delivery duct and leading to said float chamber and having a cross section adjustable by means of said screw; a second flow duct communicating with said delivery duct and having an inlet with valve means, said valve means being actuated responsive to the angular position of said throttle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 160 words
A carburetor for internal combustion engines with an acceleration pump comprising: a pump chamber, a float chamber; a suction duct connection said pump chamber to said float chamber, said suction duct having a suction valve; a throttle and an intake line section upstream of said throttle; a delivery duct having a pressure valve and a calibrated injection opening, said delivery duct connecting said pump chamber to said intake line section, said acceleration pump having a displacement member; linkage means and lever means, said displacement member being actuated via said linkage means by said lever means depending on the position of said throttle; an adjustment screw; a first flow duct communicating with said delivery duct and leading to said float chamber and having a cross section adjustable by means of said screw; a second flow duct communicating with said delivery duct and having an inlet with valve means, said valve means being actuated responsive to the angular position of said throttle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 73 words
A carburetor as defined in claim 1 wherein level of acceleration injection is controllable so that when said throttle is open only a substantially small amount larger quantities in proportion to the opening can be injected than when the throttle is opened by a substantially larger amount, quantities of fuel being injected as a function of time dependent on the amount of throttle opening without affecting the carburetor's capacity to suppress injection pressure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 219 words
A carburetor for internal combustion engines with an acceleration pump comprising: a pump chamber, a float chamber; a suction duct connecting said pump chamber to said float chamber, said suction duct having a suction valve; a throttle and an intake line section upstream of said throttle; a delivery duct having a pressure valve and a calibrated injection opening, said delivery duct connecting said pump chamber to said intake line section, said acceleration pump having a displacement member; linkage means and lever means, said displacement member being actuated via said linkage means by said lever means depending on the position of said throttle; an adjustment screw; a first flow duct communicating with said delivery duct and leading to said float chamber and having a cross section adjustable by means of said screw; a second flow duct communicating with said delivery duct and having an inlet with valve means, said valve means being actuated responsive to the angular position of said throttle; spring means on said valve; a closure member pressed by said spring means; said second flow duct having an inlet; a diaphragm holding said closure member against said inlet; a plunger and a lever arm; said spring means overcoming the force of fuel pressure and pressing said plunger against said lever arm, said lever arm actuating said acceleration pump.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 219 words
A carburetor for internal combustion engines with an acceleration pump comprising: a pump chamber, a float chamber; a suction duct connecting said pump chamber to said float chamber, said suction duct having a suction valve; a throttle and an intake line section upstream of said throttle; a delivery duct having a pressure valve and a calibrated injection opening, said delivery duct connecting said pump chamber to said intake line section, said acceleration pump having a displacement member; linkage means and lever means, said displacement member being actuated via said linkage means by said lever means depending on the position of said throttle; an adjustment screw; a first flow duct communicating with said delivery duct and leading to said float chamber and having a cross section adjustable by means of said screw; a second flow duct communicating with said delivery duct and having an inlet with valve means, said valve means being actuated responsive to the angular position of said throttle; spring means on said valve; a closure member pressed by said spring means; said second flow duct having an inlet; a diaphragm holding said closure member against said inlet; a plunger and a lever arm; said spring means overcoming the force of fuel pressure and pressing said plunger against said lever arm, said lever arm actuating said acceleration pump.
