Morris, G Q

An apparatus is described for mixing fuel and air for supply to an internal combustion engine comprising: carburetor body means having walls defining air inlet conduit for flowing air to the engine; the air inlet means having a venturi constriction portion disposed by configuring the air inlet conduit means to have a first convergent. Divergent cross-sections has a configuration in the direction of air flowing through the inlet conduit; booster cylinder means disposed in the air inlet conduit proximate the venturi constriction portions such that a peripheral venturi is defined between the outside of the booster cylinder and the venturi constriction portion of the the walls of the air inlet means; essentially annular supply channel means disposed about the air inlet conduit means; essentially annular distribution channel means disposed about the air inlet conduit means; transfer channel means connected to the supply channel means and connected to the distribution channel means; fuel supply means connected to the distribution channel means for supplying metered fuel to the supply channel means; fuel outlet means connected to the supply channel means and connected to the peripheral venturi proximate the most constricted portion thereof; the fuel outlet means connecting to the peripheral venturi in an annular manner such that fuel flowing from the fuel outlet means into the peripheral venturi means is distributed into air flowing through the peripheral venturi means; and the transfer channel means having predetermined flow capacity and predetermined location of connection to the supply channel means in order to distribute fuel into the supply channel. The fuel is distributed from the fuel outlet into the peripheral venturi means in an essentially symmetrical pattern.
