To HH iii/wm it may iii/merli.'

Be it known that 1. Mini: C. Loizii'rnniionz, a citizen of tho l'nitcd States. and a resident of Noble. in the count)l of Cleveland and 5 State ot (llilalioiiia. have invented certain new and useful improvements in Mixers. ot'

which the following is ii bpecification.

Thin` invention relates to a mixer or va poriziing device adapted for use in i'onnei-Y 1o tion with internal combustion cugini, :ind

an object of thc invention is to provide a mixer, which is placed between thi` cai'- lnireter and intiilic manifold of an ordinari internal combustion engine. for siippliingI i5 and mixing hcatid air with the com iiistililc ,iras prior to the entrance ot' this gas into the cylinder of thc engine. to croate a conihnstihlc gas ot' higher ellicicniv and Consequently result in thi creation of niiiXiniiini power upon the utilization of a niiniA innni quantity ol gaseous l'iicl.

'A further ohji-i-tV ot the invention is to prorido a niixer. aS specified. wli'iili has vali'ed connection with llii` ixhaiist iii-.iniY fold ot' the engine for supplying licatiid air to the ilianiliii' of the inixir, at which point thi' l. ated air will la' thoroiig'lil)v niixed with lii i'oinlniatihiix gi or l'iicl lroni the ciolnireter. prioi' to thil deliver;- ol' thc t'uirl to thil cugino cylinder and |"iii'tlii-i' to provide an inria-ted U trap in thi pipi at itl i'creiring i-oil to forni an oh tructioii for lino p-.ii'iii-lil` of carhon in oiliiir foreign aciuninlation.-.. and |iii\i-iit thi` latter fioui being' deliriri-il to tliix iiiiwir.

More ,spei'iliiallig tiiiinvention ooinpri'- lii'ndl the pror yon otE a niixoi' embodying a plate provided with a ii\iitrall iiispo-ed oponinggat tliix upper iiiil ot which is plaii-d a cri-on. said screen living' Iiiioh with tho upper nii'ai'i ol' lliinplatil and which plato i also proriilod willi a ti^.iii oi\r-il opining to pii'iuit thi` ont raiiiiof tlio liiati-il aii into lhi opening lionoaili thiscri-on. and the. lioatiil air cntiiin;|` lliii'i'niial opi-nini; of thil philo. will lineage thi' iiliiliiI surface olf tlnx wi'ien. .spi-enduit` tlnii'oowr and provid` ing a tliin Iilin olA tlii` lii-atod air through which tlii i'oinl'iidihli. ga i'roni tliil cai- :o liiirotei must. pio. prior to it` entrance into the cilinders, ol' tlii4 angine, therein' inhurino the thorough unitingl ol thi1 'fuel or gras willi th" heated air.

(ll-livr olijocts of lhil inrintioii will ap- .ri pour in tho following dnl'aili-d description,

lalmu in wonnieotion with tho ari-onipanying diiiwiiiir. i'oi'iiiinp a part ol" this Specifica tion. and in which drawinii':

Referring inori paitiiruliirl to the drawing. indicates an oi'dinar)v internal coinliustion engine haring the anual exhauid inanitold B. inlet manifold (j with which a carburetor D ot' tho ordinari` construction is connai-ted, l'or unrliuri-ting the fuel prior lo its deliverito tliii-'rlindora of thil cnoine.

The iiiipi'owil ii|i.\'ir -1rui" u1u. gciiri'icallr indiiatcd h v the iiuini'iai 1. comprises a sul)- Staiitiall'i oval-plati` Q. ha ringv a pair of ab tac-hing opening\ l5 near its ind7 through which the holts 4 extend that connectJ the carburetor D and tho inlet inaiiiiold C for holding;r the plati :2 between [he luci-ting i-iids ot' thiintake inanitold and thi' irai linriter.

The pipe 10 is connected to the exhaust manifold B. as shown at l1 so as to pei-init heated air from the exhaust manil'old to pass into and through the ipe 10 vlor entrance into the opening 4. Tiie pipe 10 has :in inverted U trap 12 formed therein. .it it l end which is connected to the exhaust manifold B.y and the length 13 0f A. pipe 10 coiiimnnif Utl all

Ii t) Tit this` trap liws. substantially ierpendicularly from the exhauat manifold llis whereby the trap will form an obstrnetioi'i for the pa ,tage of carbon` or other foreign material. from the exhauet manifold into the pipe 1li. and ronsequentl) rf-vents the mixing of ant-h foreign material with the eombustible fuel entering the inlet inanit'old (l. A valve ll. ot any ordinary construct-ion is intel'- posed in the pipe 1t). lor controllingr the passage of the heated air jnto the openingr l'. A valve rod 15. .for operating the Valve lit ia eonnected thereto and may extend to any suitable location for eonrenient operation of the valve '14.

The heated ail' paf-wing' through the pipe 1U. will enter the. opening t. and ring. amil 1forni a film orar the under surface of the wreen (l, through whirh film tht` earhureted fuel or t'ombustihle glas from the earhuretm l) will pass. upon it@ enti-:inve into the inY take manifold l, therelul raming a thorough mixing ot' the heated air with the gras. The Creen (l. will also have a {endl-nea' to hrt-ah up the air. musing a wary formation and further inereasing thtl thorough mixing ot the gas and heated air. so a to provide a t'uel of maximum efficienty resulting;v in the ol'ltaining of maximum power upon the utilization ot' a minimum quantity of the luel, such as gasolene. employed for operating the engine A.

(,hanges in details may he made without departing from the spirit of the invention. but:
