Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A device for improving the quality of a carburetted mixture which is delivered by a pneumatic injection system supplying a reciprocating internal combustion engine, said pneumatic injection system comprising a means for injecting a liquid fuel opening into an injection prechamber communicating with a combustion chamber of the engine, said device further comprising at least two means for speeding up the carburetted mixture, the first speeding up means comprises an injection nozzle disposed in said injection prechamber, said injection nozzle comprising an outlet edge and being supplied with the liquid fuel by said fuel injection means, said injection nozzle is disposed coaxially with said prechamber, and wherein said second speeding up means comprises a fixed member having one end in the form of a tulip leaving a permanent opening, said member comprising a rod passing through said nozzle and said injection prechamber is connected to a pressurized pulsed air source.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
150 words
A device for improving the quality of a carburetted mixture which is delivered by a pneumatic injection system supplying a reciprocating internal combustion engine, said pneumatic injection system comprising a means for injecting a liquid fuel opening into an injection prechamber communicating with a combustion chamber of the engine, said device further comprising at least two means for speeding up the carburetted mixture, the first speeding up means comprises an injection nozzle disposed in said injection prechamber, said injection nozzle comprising an outlet edge and being supplied with the liquid fuel by said fuel injection means, said injection nozzle is disposed coaxially with said prechamber, and wherein said second speeding up means comprises a fixed member having one end in the form of a tulip leaving a permanent opening, said member comprising a rod passing through said nozzle and said injection prechamber is connected to a pressurized pulsed air source.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
106 words
A device for improving the quality of a carburetted mixture which is delivered by a pneumatic injection system supplying a reciprocating internal combustion engine, said pneumatic injection system comprising a means for injecting a liquid fuel opening into an injection prechamber communicating with a combustion chamber of the engine, said device further comprising at least two means for speeding up the carburetted mixture, the first speeding up means comprises an injection nozzle disposed in said injection prechamber, said injection nozzle comprising an outlet edge swept by a gas flow passing through said injection nozzle and being supplied with the liquid fuel by said fuel injection means.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
106 words
A device for improving the quality of a carburetted mixture which is delivered by a pneumatic injection system supplying a reciprocating internal combustion engine, said pneumatic injection system comprising a means for injecting a liquid fuel opening into an injection prechamber communicating with a combustion chamber of the engine, said device further comprising at least two means for speeding up the carburetted mixture, the first speeding up means comprises an injection nozzle disposed in said injection prechamber, said injection nozzle comprising an outlet edge swept by a gas flow passing through said injection nozzle and being supplied with the liquid fuel by said fuel injection means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said second speeding up means comprises a maximum passage section for the carburetted mixture between 20% and 80% of the total passage section of said chamber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said fuel injection means is positioned in said prechamber so as to produce a jet in the direction of the internal surfaces of said injection nozzle.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said injection nozzle is disposed coaxially with said prechamber.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
44 words
The device as claimed in claim 5, wherein said injection nozzle is integral with the walls of said prechamber and has, substantially at the level of a neck thereof, at least one lateral orifice into which opens at least one liquid fuel injection means.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
56 words
The device as claimed in any one of the claims 5 or 6, wherein said injection nozzle is disposed so as to be substantially closed by an injection valve, and wherein the second speeding up means are formed by the space defined by a wall of said valve and by said outlet edge of said nozzle.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
58 words
The device as claimed in one of claims 5 or 6, comprising an injection valve, said valve resting intermittently on a valve seat integral with said prechamber, wherein said means for speeding up the carburetted mixture are formed by the passage between the injection valve and associated valve seat when said injection valve is in an open position.
