I housino· 4 is funnel-shaped, as shown in Fig. 5°

To all whom it may concern: ? and It receives a conical valve 6, which is

Be it known that I, Lars Anderson, a, cit , an whereby air may pass into it zen of the United States, res^ trough _end and thence enter the neck county of Cook, and State of Illinois, which constitutes the outlet-port of the vented certain new and useful Improvemenθ ^’atee-housing, through side ports 7 8 in the 55 in Feed-Valves for Explosion - Engines, ot _sideof the valve 6. The valve 6 is held which the following is a full, clear, and exact θ _snugly against its seat in the housing specification.. _mpnT,s for sun- 4 by two end caps 9 10, which are securedl o

My invention relates to the means t .

. Between the ports 7 8 is formed m thevalve sistsot certain wawu» _{fi measU}ring-cavity 16, which as the vaiveis struction, combination, _η and arrangement^, f θ _ted alternately comes into with supply-port 17 and the outlet-ροι t 5, thus neremaxbex -- - · . , . ., i oscillation a charge ot expiofully described with reference, taking g ^each osc^ _inlet._{port 1? and con}..nd morenar- | sive hq _{ω deposi}ting it m the outlet-port 5, where it.is caught by the.stron currents of air entering the port 5 through 5 the ports 7 8 and converted, into vapor as the mixture passes into the induction-port 2. The inlet-port 17 maybe supplied with gasolene or other suitable combustible from any desired source by means of connection 18, and, 9 as shown in Fig. 2, the port 17 and this connection, for a part of its length at least, are turned upwardly, whereby the air trapped m the measuring-cavity 16 will rise out^of th cavity into connection 18 when the cavity 95 turned upwardly to communicate with the sunnlv-port 17. In order that the valve may bethus oscillated, it maybe connected to the
