Abstract
Abstract A combustion device for a car comprises a fuel-atomizing nozzle for atomizing and injecting fuel, a combustion tube extending along said nozzle in the direction of injection of fuel, a coaxial airstream supplying passage extending along the outer circumference of said fuel-atomizing nozzle, an orifice means for fuel mixture formed near the inlet of said combustion tube and at the lower side of said fuel-atomizing nozzle, an ignition plug placed between said orifice means and said fuel-atomizing nozzle, and a lower airstream supplying passage which has at least one aperture opened to said combustion tube and is placed below said fuel-atomizing nozzle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A combustion device for a car which comprises: a fuel-atomizing nozzle for atomizing and injecting fuel, a combustion tube extending axially of said nozzle in the direction of injection of fuel, means forming a coaxial airstream supplying passage extending along the outer circumference of said fuel-atomizing nozzle, a substantially flat orifice plate for fuel mixture formed near the inlet of said combustion tube and at a lower side of said fuel-atomizing nozzle, an ignition means placed between said orifice plate and said fuel-atomizing nozzle, and means forming a lower airstream supplying passage which has at least one aperture opened with a downward component to said combustion tube and placed below said fule-atomizing nozzle, wherein said lower airstream supplying passage has at least one additional aperture comprising means to feed a part of said lower airstream in a radially inward direction and substantially along the lower surface of said orifice plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
A combustion device for a car which comprises: a fuel-atomizing nozzle for atomizing and injecting fuel, a combustion tube extending axially of said nozzle in the direction of injection of fuel, means forming a coaxial airstream supplying passage extending along the outer circumference of said fuel-atomizing nozzle, a substantially flat orifice plate for fuel mixture formed near the inlet of said combustion tube and at a lower side of said fuel-atomizing nozzle, an ignition means placed between said orifice plate and said fuel-atomizing nozzle, and means forming a lower airstream supplying passage which has at least one aperture opened with a downward component to said combustion tube and placed below said fule-atomizing nozzle, wherein said lower airstream supplying passage has at least one additional aperture comprising means to feed a part of said lower airstream in a radially inward direction and substantially along the lower surface of said orifice plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The combustion device for a car according to claim 1, wherein said at least one aperture for said lower airstream supplying passage is formed to feed air along the axial direction of said combustion tube.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The combustion device for a car according to claim 1, wherein said at least one aperture for said lower airstream supplying device is formed to feed a whirling airstream into said combustion tube.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
The combustion device for a car according to claim 1, wherein said orifice plate has an inner diameter sufficient to prevent impingement of the fuel mixture stream from said fuel-atomizing nozzle on said orifice plate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
The combustion device for a car according to claim 1, including means providing the flow rate of air from said lower airstream supplying passage being greater than that of air from said coaxial air-supplying passage.
