Device for improved efficiency in internal combustion
First Claim
1. In a device for improved efficiency in internal combustion engines of the type having a carburetor adapted for supply of an air-fuel mixture to the intake manifold of the cylinders and of throttle valve between the carburetor and the intake manifold, the improvement comprising an air compressor, a passage for admitting air from the compressor into the intake manifold of the engine downstream of the carburetor, regulator means having a variable opening for controlling the air flow from the compressor to said passage, and means rotatably connected to the throttle and acting upon said regulator means for controlling the degree of opening thereof, said regulator means and said means acting thereon being constructed and arranged to provide flow of a predetermined amount of air to said passage when the throttle valve is at a minimum open position, then to provide to said passage a decreased flow of air to an amount less than the predetermined amount as the throttle valve is opened and then to provide a gradually increasing amount of air as the throttle is further opened reaching an amount greater than said predetermined amount and then providing a substantially increased flow of air at maximum opening of the throttle valve.

Abstract
Device for improved efficiency in internal combustion engines of motor-vehicles, comprising an air compressor supplying air downstream of the engine carburetor to which the device is applied. The air passage is controlled by a valve connected to the carburetor throttle. Downstream of the carburetor is a propeller which is rotatably driven by air supplied from the compressor and atomizes the fuel perfectly for mixing it with air.
