To all 'z o'hme't ma concern.' f

Be it known t at I, WILLIAM K. Bessrom), a citizen of the United States,- and a resident of Perth Amboy, county of Middlesex, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Explosive-Engines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in explosive engines of-that class wherein hydrocarbon fuel, such as gasolene, kerosene,

ualities as asolen'e and kerosene for example, are employed.

It is apparent that a system which permits the 'use of a heavier fuel than is now commonly employed in motor vehicles will reduce the cost of operating these vehicles, the heavier fuel being less expensive than the lighter fuel. In order that such heavier fuel may be practically and .economically y' employed, it should be heated 'and provision should be made 'for the use of the lighter so fuel when the engine is cold or is notas hot as it should be inorder to secure satisfactory results from the'particular heavier fuel employed. The system therefore contemplates an organization of parts vwhereby the engine may. be started on the lighter` of these fuels andthen .when working properly on this cfue'l, automatically shifting-certain elements to. change to the ot er fuel. AThe sys- 'teln includes 'a means by which the fuel is heated inthe passage of Vthe fuel from the 'fuel' container to the engine, and also, in-

cludes means for carbureting -the'fue-l prior to 'its admission to theengin'e. The heating means 1s ,connected with an appropriate part ofthe engine, preferably the exhaust pipe' ofy thelatter, and themeans throughwhieh'tlie heating medium. flows is controllable vsoas to vary the 'heating effect receivedl by the fuel in its passage through` the heater. Thus,

it' ,is apparent that starting with 'a flifglht'j;

- fluid, such as cold asolene, or gasoleneja.

i heated condition, t e last named being pre-f' gferred, the advantage of a light fuel for-.fa

tare' mot\desirably composed starting purposes is obtained. When the err-1l gine is started and working well the supply-5 of the lighter fuel is cut off and the supply o f the heavier fuel is opened and at the same time a means is operated which causes the flow of the heating medium through the heater to be retarded, so that the heavier fuel is under the effect of said heating medium .for a greater length of time and hence receivesa greater heating effect utherefrom, it being apparent that the heavier fuel now being supplied to run the engine, requires for its best results more heat than did the lighterV fuel. Shouldthe temperature of the fuel be]- come too high, means are provided where by the course of the heating .medium is changed, said medium being caused to flow?` directly through the heater instead ofi through the circuitous course just referredl` to. Again, if Va condition arises wherein the temperature of this fuel becomes too loW, prior to its admission to the engine, means are again'operated to cause the heating medium to iiow directly throughthe heater and at the same time to change from the heavier fuel to the lighter fuel until a temperature has been reached which makes it again advisable to use the heavierv fuel,y when the change to the latter and the retarding of the heating fluid is again effected. By this y tively high and poor` gra esv may beemployed, and it is not the intention herein .to

restrict 'the invention to any particular fuels, further than that they be of different specific gravities t The means-"by which ythe courses of the heating fluid within the vheater are con- 'trolled,1 and the means by which the ow -ofthe lighter and; heavier liquid fuels are icontrolled, comprise valves which are preferably automatically operated byl variations in temperature of a heater iuid. In

all fof the present exempliiications, this fluid yd'e'arives its yheat primarily from the engme.

Preferably, the heat of the fuel mixture is utilized control the operation of the dtle means by which these valvesv -op'erated by" variations in temperapreferably of an electrical nature,

i of` a temperature actuated switch suitably connected with a motor for actuating the valve which controls the course of the heating fluid in the heater and with a magnet having connection with the valves of .the

fuel-supply means so as simultaneously to open one and close the' other.

In the accompanying drawings, Il have".

shown several specificially different embodiments of the present invention, but it is to be understood that while these different embodiments are very satisfactory andare conjy sidered to be the best embodiments oftheinvention, yet the invention is not restricted thereto and its details may be variously changed without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

In the drawings, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts in the several views :-Figure l is a view, somewhat diagrammatic of one desirable em bodiment of the present invention, showing certain of the parts in section and others in elevation. Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view, on a larger scale than Fig. 1, showing the fuel container and its valves. ,Fig 3 isa horizontal section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a `diagrammatic view of the preferred means for operating the valves which control the flow of the heating medium and of the fluids used as fuel. Fig. 5 is a view, partly in elevation and partly in section of a specifically different embodiment of ,the invention. Fig. 6 is a like view of another slightly changed embodiment of the invention.

In all the g'ures of the drawings, the part marked A represents an internal combustion engine of any suitable kind: B the fuel supply pipe thereof: land C a means by which the fuel is heated prior to its admission to the engine. The heating means 4is of the construction shown in ,my oo-pending application, Serial No. 623,898,1fl`ed April 28, 1911,'comprising a closed vesselv containing a coil 21 and an exhaust pipe 22. Said exhaust' pipe preferably discharges into the atmosphere and is vprovided within the heater with a valve 23 and perforations 24. It extends through one end of the heater and through the coils 21 nearly to 'the other end vof the heater and its latter end is arranged in juxtaposition to and in line with the outlet end ofapipe 25, which -ppe extendsfrom the exhaust of` the engine vA. VIt will-.be noted that thel outlet end of the: pipe 25. and the inlet end of lthe pipe 22 are separated from each otherby anppen space, marked 26 and that the valve 231s arranged at a distance from the inlet end of the pipe 22 while the perforations 24 are between the yvalve andthe outlet end of said pipe. 'It will thereforeA be apparent 'l that when the"valve23isturned toj close the vwith a source of supply of -light `gasolene, and' has, as usual, a valve, indi- 'cated at 5 1 for controlling the inlet of air pipe 22 the exhaust products entering-.the

heater by way of the pipe 25. will be caused to ,ow around' thecoil 21 and will .enter the pipe 22 by way of the p'erforations 24, whereas when the valve 23 is open the exhaust products, or `a -considerable part' haust products around the pipe 22. This battling means is preferably formed of a series of spirally arranged erforated dia.- phragms 29 arranged so t at their convolu-tions alternatewith the convolutions of the coil 21. Said baffling means may be continuous or made in sections, as preferred.

Referring now to the particular embodiment of the invention illustrated byl Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, D designates a suitable c ntainer having compartments l30 and 31- or fuel of different specific gravities, as gasolene, and kerosene, for example.' These compartments provide separate'sources of supply y for said fuels and in this particular form are shown as being conoentrically arranged. The container also has,a which is connected by a .pipe` 33 with the inlet end of the coil 21. Within t-hepipe 32 there isa nozzle 34 which is common to 37, the inlet to the branch 35 being in compartment 30, while the inlet to the branch 36 is in the compartment 31. These inlets 37 are controlled by valves 3 8 and 39, hav

-ing stems 40 and 41 respectively slidably pipe or tube 32 ,two branches 35 and 36, each having an inlet mounted in guides 42 and 43, and also hav Y ing springs 44 and 45 for movin themvin one direction. They are moved temately, in opposition to their respective springs, by( a rocker arm 46 which is automatically 'op erated'as will be hereinaftermere particularlyset. forth. The branches 35 and 36are provided with adjustably mounted needle valves 47 by which the quantit7 .of "liquid flowingtherethrough is regulate The discharge end of the coil 21-is oonnec'ted by a pipe 48 with one end of the.

fuel-inlet pipe B and between the pipes 48 `andB there is a connecting section 49 `which is provided wit-ha carbureter or vaporizer E and with ,a valve Ffor admitting an' auxilia supply 'of air to this section 49. The'car ureter F is connected by a plipe 50 el, as

thereto.

to pass around the pipe'l 22 iny the heater.

' thereafter How through the motor fields -i'n a of the exhaust gases, the gasolene valve is ple, and these changes and othersnot neces-v saryherein to set forth, are contemplated to Fig.` 5, the separate sources of supply fof ployed with a separately supplied c arbureter -for the other iuid.vr The -containerof this porizer. or carbureterl E10 has a valve 38a .cation of my invention, each movement of 'i preceded bv a circuit changing the position xceded by a\ circuit which energizes one of the and the other turned on.I The operations of kerosene valve 39 at the same time the valve 23 is closed to cause the exhaust gases It will thus be seen that, in this exemplifithe motor must be in a relatively opposite direction to, that of the preceding"movement, due to which each motor-actuating circuit is of the switch -blades so that the currentv will proper direction. Irr'other words, each circuit completed through the motor is lpretwo electro-magnets and arranges the elements of the motor circuit so that current flows therethrough Vto rotate the motor in a proper direction. `Further, the connections between the magnet controlled switch and the valves controlling the supply are such that upon each rocking'movement of the switch, one of the fuel valves is out off the lfuel valves are in such relationto the movements of themotor, that `when the heater valve is open to 'permit free passage be, within the spirit of the, invention` considered in itsilbroadest as ect.. i

In the -V'form of the invention shown in the lighter and heavier fuels are embodied inseparate tanks o'r containers, one of which, is eonnected'by apipe 100 with a carbureter orvaporizer. In other words, instead of employing a cntainer having two'compartments, one for each fuel fluid, a container with 'one' compartment onlymay be em-l fornil of the invention is marked D10 and the carbureter is marked E0.' The formerl has only one valved pipe (marked 38a). and is used for the heavierfuel, as kerosene for example. The valve of this pipe is marked SQBaI-idyits stem .is marked 141". -Thf'vawhose stem is marked 40". The switch 11 which may be identical with that employed which has the air inlet valve F10.

in the other form .has its arm 56a connected vby a'- link 57a with the arms 58a and 58b i of rocking levers whose other arms 46a and 46" are connected to the stems 41a 'and 40a respectively.' A valve, marked 47a controls the quantity of the lighter fuel supplied, the latter owingfrom the chamber 30a of the carburetor into the mixing chamber 49, It will ,be apparent that this system will operate precisely as 4does the other, except that the carbureter E and the valved gasolene tank of the latter are dispensed with and their place taken lby a vaporizer having a gasolene lchamber whose inlet is controlled by a valve lin the same. manner asis the valve of the gasolene compartment of the first construction. a

In Fig.. 6 a further modification is shown. In this there are three separate chambers marked 30b 3P and .30 respectively. The 4chambers 30b and 30c are for the lighter fuel, as gasolene, and the chamber 3lb is for the heavier fuel, as kerosene. The chamber 30c isin a part of the carbureter, the latter being like that shown in Fig. 5.' The chambers 30b and 31b are shown as separate tanks connected'with the coil of the heater bya pipe 38a having branches 33b and 33c leading to the tanks respectively. Each tank has ya-pipe s aid pipes being marked 35a and 36. They are provided with inlet valves 38 and y39c having stems y40c and 41c connected by'a rocker 46c whosel arm 58c is connected by'a link 57c with the switch precisely as in the first constructicm. This link however, in

Fig. 6, also extends to the rocking lever,-

l.marked 58b of the valve 38b controlling'` the inlet to the chamber 30d of the carburetor. -The valves 38c and 88b are so set that there is one-.half a supply of the lighter duid from the chamber 30 and the other half from the chamber the latter being preheated and "mixed with the xva or from chamber 80c and' with air, Qin the c amber49, said 'chamber 49 -having the air inlet'valve F10. It will. be noted that the two valves 38 and 38b opera-te to open and close together and alternately with respect to the valve 39. The operati n otherwise will be understood.
