Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
255 words
Apparatus inserted between the bottom of a carburetor and the top of the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine using gasoline, helping to further atomize and vaporize the fuel mixture, which apparatus comprises: (a) a plate that fits between the carburetor and and the intake manifold fastened to both, and (b) openings in the plate coinciding with similarly placed openings from the carburetor and openings leading to the intake manifold; (c) with a plurality of triangularly convex shaped funnel like vanes acting as liquid fuel collectors set in the openings of the plate with the bases of the vanes contiguous to another forming the outer circumference of the plate opening, then, gently sloping down into the openings and toward their centers, forming an inner circumference at the points of the vanes smaller in size than the outer circumference, and (d) with each of the vanes slanted in a counterclockwise direction with the larger side of the vanes at the outer circumference first forming a slightly raised shoulder and then dropping gently toward the center of the opening forming a cup shaped convex curved surface, curving in toward the center of the opening, meeting the other side of the vane also similarly curved at the apex of the vanes funneling liquid fuel particles to the center of the openings; and (e) which vanes cause the fuel mixture to swirl with greater turbulence, collecting any liquid fuel particles into the center of the air stream, generating greater vaporization with a continuing pattern of atomization and vaporization.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
58 words
The claim as recited in claim 1, in which the vanes further comprises: (a) two oppositely sloping traingular funnel like vanes, the first sloping gently down from the outer circumference of the openings, and (b) the second vane gently sloping up from the first part and forming a funnel directing the mixture to the center of the opening.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The claim as recited in claim 1, in which the plate further comprises a comparatively thin thickness not interfering with the usual workings of the carburetor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The claim as recited in claim 1, in which the circumference of the openings at the apexes of the vanes further comprises a diameter of not less than three-quarters of an inch.
