US Patent:

50039490, Apr 2, 1991
Filed:

Apr 21, 1989
Appl. No.:

7/341644
Inventors:

John C. Fanner - Coon Rapids MN
Nick V. Halstead - Oak Grove MN
Assignee:

Onan Corporation - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:

F02D 700
US Classification:

123382
Abstract:

An apparatus for assisting a primary governor device (20) on an engine at certain load conditions or during transient loading is disclosed. The primary governor device has a control arm (12) which is moved by a primary governor spring (15) via a primary governor arm (14). The control arm (12) governs opening and closing of the throttle plate (10) on the carburetor (11). Four embodiments (47, 54, 30 and 78) of the governor assist mechanism are disclosed. The governor assist apparatus has an assist spring (48, 55, 32, 76) operatively connected to the control arm (12). A vacuum capsule (41) actuates the assist spring (48, 55, 32, 76) from the primary governor device (20) according to the vacuum in the intake manifold and load on the engine. The first embodiment or linear mechanism (47) has an assist spring (48), an intermediate link (49), and the diaphragm plunger (40) in linear alignment. The second embodiment or rocker mechanism (54) interconnects the assist spring (55) and the diaphragm plunger (40) by means of a pivotal arrangement or bell crank (58).

US Patent:

46387773, Jan 27, 1987
Filed:

Oct 5, 1984
Appl. No.:

6/658001
Inventors:

John C. Fanner - Fridley MN
Warren E. Snyder - Elm Grove WI
Assignee:

Dresser Industries, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:

F02M 2104
US Classification:

123277
Abstract:

The air fuel ratio control systems described for controlling the air fuel mixture being supplied to the prechamber of gaseous fueled, internal combustion engines includes a pressure control regulator that is responsive to inlet manifold pressure to assure that the pressure of the fuel supplied to the prechamber is as desired and includes volume flow control valves arranged in the air conduit and in the fuel conduit for providing the desired air fuel ratio. Further, the system may include controls for providing relatively rich fuel mixtures or fuel only to the prechambers at certain phases of operation of the engine.

US Patent:

48122661, Mar 14, 1989
Filed:

Sep 30, 1987
Appl. No.:

7/103106
Inventors:

John C. Fanner - Coon Rapids MN
Assignee:

Onan Corporation - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:

F02M 718
US Classification:

261 71
Abstract:

Carburetor altitude compensator apparatus (20) includes fingertip adjustable fuel to air mixture adjustment screw (22). The adjustment screw (22) includes a tracking member (30) rotatable therewith and cooperating with a graduated scale (42) to indicate the altitude at which optimum fuel/air mixture is derived for any given setting of the adjustment screw (22). An indentation (34) cooperates with the tracking member (30) to limit the range of possible adjustment of the adjustment screw (22) so as to avoid engine damage regardless of what adjustment the adjustment screw (22) is set at.
