Frusto-conical, spiral fuel economization and pollution reduction device for use with carburetors of internal combustion engines

In a fuel economization and pollution reduction device for use with the carburetor of an internal combustion engine having an intake manifold, the improvements comprising, a frusto-conical spiral mixing element having an unobstructed, generally frusto-conical flow passage extending therethrough, and means to mount said element in the fuel-air mixture passage from the carburetor to the intake manifold with the axis of said element being in general alignment with the axis of said passage whereby, the fuel-air mixture from said carburetor will flow through said element and a vortex-like or whirling motion will be thereby imparted to said fuel-air mixture to further admix the same said frusto-conical spiral mixing element extending into said intake manifold whereby, contact by said fuel-air mixture with the heated walls of said manifold, and attendent heating thereby of said mixture, will be reduced due to the centripetal forces generated within said mixture by said vortex-like motion, said frusto-conical spiral mixing element comprising a plurality of coils of decreasing diameter in the direction of flow of said fuel-air mixture, and wherein said mounting means comprises a mounting body having a generally frusto-conical aperture formed therein, said aperture being complementally sized and shaped with regard to the largest diameter of said coils and being in general alignment with the fuel-air mixture passage from said carburetor for the flow of said fuel-air mixture therethrough, and wherein said frusto-conical mixing element is mounted in said mounting body by the disposition of said largest diameter coil in said aperture.
