Fuel atomization device

A fuel atomization device in combination with a carburetor, wherein the carburetor includes an elongated air flow throttle body with a venturi conduit defined by a conduit axis mounted within the throttle body overlying a pivotally mounted throttle plate, and

• the venturi conduit including an inlet opening spaced above an outlet opening, and
• a fuel reservoir with a fuel delivery tube directing fuel from the fuel reservoir to the venturi below the inlet opening, and an annular fuel recess positioned within the venturi in fluid communication with the fuel delivery tube, and
• an annular fuel atomization means mounted adjacent the annular fuel recess for enhanced atomization of fuel in association with air flow directed through the throttle body, and
• wherein the fuel atomization means extends coaxially relative to the conduit axis of the venturi conduit and includes an annular mesh screen, and
• wherein the annular fuel recess includes an annular ledge and an annular wall receiving the annular mesh screen, and
• wherein the annular wall is defined by a predetermined height equal to a predetermined height defined by the annular mesh screen, and
• wherein the mesh screen includes a fuel dispersion covering overlying an exterior annular surface of the mesh screen and defined by a height equal to the predetermined height, and an upper and lower edge thereof, and wherein the covering is impermeable, and the covering includes a matrix of apertures therethrough to direct fluid communication to the annular atomization screen to direct fuel flow through the annular fuel recess, through the apertures, and through the annular mesh screen to be atomized for mixture with air flow directed through the venturi conduit, the covering spaced from the annular wall and mounted on the annular ledge to define an annular channel between the annular wall and the covering.
