3Claiml- This invmtion relates to treatment in explosive areas, as engine cylinders, against detractive material accumulation therein.

Thh invention has utility when incorporated in uniform flow feeding of treating liquid, more particularly effected through means functioning for automatic restoration of efficient-conditions for motor operation, such as substances for the removal of carbon.

Referring to the drawings: I

Hg. 13, showing the drain and vent port fea- Multi-cylinder say for automobiles, ignition in spark plugs I for fuel with air intake passage terfiy intake valve 5 normally controlled by rod 0. At this rim 4 of the air intake normally there maybe mounted air cleaner or filter I. In ,motor vehicle operation, eiliciency maintenance requires exercise of care not only for lubrication but for the motor fuel under variations in humidity, weather conditions, and character of the fuel. Conditions of motor performance tend,

internal combustion enginei, is shown as having normal 2. There is carburetor over aperiod of use, to lower the functioning ef- .0 Money. This may be from accumulation of for- I having buteign material in the motor cylinders to the extent of gummy matters, resinous material, or more or less scale-forming or hard carbonized mass. This affects the compression and fuel combustion in degrees detracting from desired use of motor operation, especially from the drivers viewpoint.

A quick and efllcient treatment under these circumstances may be automatically efiected pursuant to the invention herein, say, by removing the air filter I and at such rim 4 locating abutting finger I on the inside of the rim 4 with opposing finger 9 to carry wing bolt Ill, serving as a clamp to locate arm H to overhang the way of this air intake above the butterfly valve 5. Thisarm ii is shown with ports l2, l3,therethrough. On this arm is closure I, say of screwcap type, having therefrom through port i2, flow vent duct IE to spill port It centrally into the way of mingling with air intake as drawn past the butterfly valve 5'. This cap II, as fixed with the arm Ii, has, at port It and parallel to the duct I5, vent duct I'I extending less distance below the arm H but a greater distance upward therefrom to the region of the top of vessel It, herein shown as glass bottle for which the screw cap I4 is a closure. This duct I'I thus admits air to the closed upper portion of the inverted vessel as a factor in allowing normal'continuity of flow through the-drain port it.

Accordingly, this bottle l8, as having charge is of treating or attacldng liquid therein, may, with-this special cap fitting mounted thereon, be readily placed in inverted position as to the bottle and so clamped by the wing screw ID. This step, being taken with the motor I in operation, means that during the inspiration of the air past the butterfly valve 5 there is drawn, with the explosive mixture of fuel and air for this motor I, a uniform or metered flow rate of this attacking liquid I9. This means there is not any flooding or clogging to defeat functioning of the motor i, but, incidental to such, there is emcient distribution throughout by the intake valves and even to the outlet valves and generally into the cylinder about the cylinder head, the piston head, and completely throughout the explosion areas as a smoothly administered dosage. This attackingmedium l9, under the temperatures of the explosions, has a looseness and clearing out action persistently effective for its attack or penetration power, not only for the gum and resinous material, but for the more hard, scaly or carbon accumulations. This dissolving, occurring over a succession of explosion cycles in the metered or continuous rate, is a sort of doctoring" action in its treatment at the explosion temperature. There is,accordingly, in a few minutes time. at the dose of say four to eight ounces,

a scavenging to restore the motor to function as fully clean from the detritus.

The scheme, as herein disclosed involves the receptacle or container having its closure for the spill and pressure relief ducts with the facility for ready clamping of such in the proper feeding or draining position therefor.

In lieu of special container for the device hereunder, there may be receiver 20 having open top 2| into which may be poured the quantity of treating liquid I3 desired for the' treatment. This supply of the treating liquid I9 is after the attachment at the air rim or ring 4. a This receptacle or vessel 20 is fixedly anchored with the arm II and has but the single spill vent l5 therefrom having the discharge port "5, which duct I5 is through opening l2 in the arm II. This arm H has its rim abutting finger 8 and opposing finger 3, with wing screw II) for assembling in the clamped mounting position. Accordingly, with this device the vessel 20 may be clamped at the air intake and then the liquid for the charge poured into the open top 2| to have its metered continuous uniform flow by the port It intothe air intake while the motor is exploding in its succeeding cycles of performance, thereby giving uniform continuity of liquid supply in the treatment at the high temperature of explosions. The elements of the mounting device may be rigidly assembled by welding.

In this assembly as to the clamp or bracket, the drain or pouring element is shown as mounted with the bracket as fixed when involving the cap. However, as a perforatcr there may be latitude for shifting. Accordingly, arm 22 is shown with port 23 (Fig. 6) having drain or drip nozzle 24 from flange 25 carrying gasket 26 about tubular perforator stem 21, upon which receptacle 28 may be jambed to efiect perforating of the bottom of such container in order that the liquid may drain therefrom through duct 29. In the event the vessel or receptacle or is sealed throughout, say as fiat top can, overhanging arm 30 with wing screw 3| having perforation 32 therethrough may have its point 33 jambed down to create a top vent perforation and have such sealed by gasket 34. This means that with the gasket sealing there may be angular shifting for pouring or the bracket may be clamped with the finger 8 opposing finger 9 and wing screw III to effect clamp on the rim 4 of air intake or other port, even to the pouring into the crank case or clamping in convenient position say for the uniform ready flow into a-port, such as a spark plug removed therefrom.

In the instance that there be purpose for long distance delivery of this drain material'and say for more rapid uniform flow rate therefrom, bottom perforator may be substituted to conform thereto. In such instance as equipped with gas.- ket 26, perforator 21 may have stem 35 (Fig. 9) with port or duct way 36 therethrough with pouring spout delivery end 31. In lieu of rigid bracket section 38 connecting the arm 30 with the finger 9', the portion 9 may have sleeve 39 (Figs.

10, 12) extending upward therefrom. This sleeve. has slot 40 therein to receive guide pin 4|. Overhanging arm 42 (Figs. 10, 11) has depending section 43 carrying this pin M and the overhanging portion has downward tang 44 as a perforator so that as this overhanging arm 42 is toward a container 28 resting on the perforator 21, a stroke against this arm 42 may cause this perforator 44 13) has fixed thereon is protected by 28 be not open top a to effect venting of the container 23 remote from the perforator action of the perforatcr tang 21 and the structure is in condition for pouring action.

Instead of the dual perforation scheme, there may be unified the vent and drain even as effective for perforating. To this end arm 22 (Fig. seat, herein shown as cup 45, centrally carrying gasket 46 (Figs. 13, 14) from which extends upward tube 41 terminally carrying perforator tip 21. From the blank lower end of this tube 41 extends drain duct or tube 48, supply of fiow thereto being through radial end short of is provided. This and extends upward the perforator the duct 21 in the vessel 23 to allow portion of the vessel as draining tion occurs through the duct 43.
