Abstract
Abstract A gas carburettor suitable for mounting on a petrol carburettor of a combustion engine and intended for mixing a gas with air and for supplying the mixture of air and gas to the combustion engine. The gas carburettor comprises a housing having a centrally arranged passage bounded by a wall of the housing. The wall bounding the passage has an opening therethrough for supplying gas to the passage. A member is disposed in the passage such that an annular airway is defined between the housing and the member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A gas carburettor adapted for mounting on the petrol carburettor of a combustion engine for mixing gas with air and for supplying the mixture of air and gas to the combustion engine, said gas carburettor comprising a housing defining an annular gas supply channel having a substantially vertical wall portion bounding a central passage and having an opening therein for supplying the gas to the passage and an upper substantially horizontal wall portion joining said substantially vertical wall portion near its upper edge, and a member disposed in the passage partly closing the passage and having wall portions extending substantially parallel to said substantially vertical and substantially horizontal wall portions of said gas supply channel and spaced therefrom to define wall portions of said gas supply channel and spaced therefrom to define a gap between said channel and said member for supplying air from the environment to said passage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A gas carburettor adapted for mounting on the petrol carburettor of a combustion engine for mixing gas with air and for supplying the mixture of air and gas to the combustion engine, said gas carburettor comprising a housing defining an annular gas supply channel having a substantially vertical wall portion bounding a central passage and having an opening therein for supplying the gas to the passage and an upper substantially horizontal wall portion joining said substantially vertical wall portion near its upper edge, and a member disposed in the passage partly closing the passage and having wall portions extending substantially parallel to said substantially vertical and substantially horizontal wall portions of said gas supply channel and spaced therefrom to define wall portions of said gas supply channel and spaced therefrom to define a gap between said channel and said member for supplying air from the environment to said passage.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A gas carburettor as claimed in claim 1 wherein a plurality of openings are provided in the periphery of the housing wall bounding the passage.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A gas carburettor as claimed in claim 1 or 2 wherein an opening in the housing wall bounding the passage is formed by an elongated slot.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
A gas carburettor as claimed in claim 3 wherein a plurality of aligned, elongated slots extending concentrically about the centre line of the passage are provided so as to cover substantially the whole circumference of the housing wall bounding said passage.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
A gas carburettor as claimed in claim 3 wherein viewed in the direction of movement of the air through the gap during operation, the cross-section of the gap gradually decreases and the lower side of the gap is located near the opening for the supply of gas.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
49 words
A gas carburettor as claimed in claim 3 mounted on a petrol carburettor provided with at least one vent tube for the float chamber wherein the top end of the vent tube is bent over and extends transversely of the main direction of the air stream through the carburettors.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
A gas carburettor as claimed in claim 6 wherein the top side of the bent-over end of the vent tube is longer than its lower side.
