Abstract
Abstract An exhaust gas recirculating device in which the intake mixed fuel gas passageway is surrounded by a double wall tube which defines a ring shaped space therebetween. Recirculating exhaust gas is introduced into the ring shaped space to heat the inner tube of the double wall to ease vaporization of the wall stream of fuel and the exhaust gas is blown out from a narrowed outlet of the space so as to well mix the fuel gas mixture and the recirculating exhaust gas.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
An exhaust gas recirculating device provided in an intake manifold at downstream of a carburetor of an internal combustion engine comprising a double tube positioned in the intake manifold adjacent a riser portion of the manifold, said double tube having an inner tube and an outer tube defining a ring shaped space therebetween, wherein mixed gas is arranged to flow inside said inner tube toward said riser portion, a recirculating exhaust gas passageway introducing a part of exhaust gas of the engine is connected to said ring shaped space, an outlet end of said ring shaped space for expelling said recirculating exhaust gas toward said riser portion is narrowed from periphery to increase flowing speed of said recirculating exhaust gas, and an end of said outer tube at the outlet of the ring shaped space is made longer than that of the inner tube to project beyond the inner tube and terminate within said riser portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
An exhaust gas recirculating device provided in an intake manifold at downstream of a carburetor of an internal combustion engine comprising a double tube positioned in the intake manifold adjacent a riser portion of the manifold, said double tube having an inner tube and an outer tube defining a ring shaped space therebetween, wherein mixed gas is arranged to flow inside said inner tube toward said riser portion, a recirculating exhaust gas passageway introducing a part of exhaust gas of the engine is connected to said ring shaped space, an outlet end of said ring shaped space for expelling said recirculating exhaust gas toward said riser portion is narrowed from periphery to increase flowing speed of said recirculating exhaust gas, and an end of said outer tube at the outlet of the ring shaped space is made longer than that of the inner tube to project beyond the inner tube and terminate within said riser portion.
