Abstract
A variable venturi type carburetor includes a suction chamber, a suction piston moveable into and out of the chamber, a metering needle attached to the head portion of the suction piston, the needle being faced by a metering jet. The carburetor also includes a throttle valve. The head portion confronts the venturi section at the upstream side of the throttle valve. The head portion is obliquely cut or shaped at one side, which faces the throttle valve, and desirably is so positioned relative to the throttle valve that at least a portion of the throttle valve pivots during opening movement within space vacated by the obliquely cut or shaped piston portion as the piston moves in an opening direction.
Claims5
A variable venturi type carburetor having a suction chamber, a suction piston movable into and out of said suction chamber, a metering needle attached to the head portion of said suction piston, a metering jet faced by said metering needle and a throttle valve, said head portion of said suction piston confronting the venturi section defined at the upstream side of said throttle valve, characterized in that said head portion is obliquely cut or shaped at its one side opposing to said throttle valve to define an obliquely cut or shaped piston portion, and that said throttle valve is pivotally mounted at such a position relative to said piston that at least a portion of said throttle valve pivots during opening movement within space vacated by said obliquely cut or shaped piston portion as said piston moves in an opening direction.
