US Patent:

41978838, Apr 15, 1980

Filed:

Jan 16, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/869747

Inventors:

Edward A. Mayer - Newburgh NY

Assignee:

Texaco Inc. - White Plains NY

International Classification:

B65B 318

US Classification:

141 59

Abstract:

A fuel system in which a fuel dispensing nozzle removably and sealably engages a fuel tank. Pressure sensing means in the nozzle monitors the degree of vacuum established adjacent to the nozzle seal, and in response thereto, actuates a vacuum control apparatus. The latter then functions by regulating the volume of vapor flow withdrawn from the fuel tank, to maintain a desired degree of vacuum adjacent to said seal whereby to avoid or minimize the intake of air into the fuel system.

Assignee:

Texaco Inc. - White Plains NY

International Classification:

B01D 5000
F01N 302

US Classification:

55329

Abstract:

An automobile type exhaust gas lead filter is particularly applicable to diesel engine smoke reduction. It has a tubular housing with alumina coated metal wire fibers as the filter bed, which is centrally located. There are open spaces forming plenums at the ends of the housing. And, the inlet and outlet pipes have baffles in alignment therewith to prevent direct impingement of exhaust gases on the coated wire. Also, the baffles are spaced from the inside ends of the pipes to minimize pressure drops.

Appl. No.:

5/450911

Inventors:

Edward A. Mayer - Newburgh NY
Frank V. Sassi - Fishkill NY

Assignee:

Texaco Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

F02M 2506

US Classification:

123119A

Abstract:

The invention relates to an internal combustion engine into which an exhaust gas recycling system is incorporated. The system includes means to receive air as well as a desired amount of exhaust gas, and to form the two into a preliminary gaseous mixture. The mixture is physically formed within a gas mixer comprising a mixing compartment, into which separate streams of gas and air are concurrently introduced by way of concentrically arranged inlets therefor.

Appl. No.:

5/702315

Inventors:

Edward A. Mayer - Newburgh NY

Assignee:

Texaco Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

B65B 326

US Classification:

141206

Abstract:

A fuel dispensing nozzle for a closed system holding a volatile fuel. The nozzle is adapted to sealably engage the filler pipe of a fuel tank to avoid passage of fumes to the atmosphere during a fuel transfer operation. The nozzle will automatically discontinue fuel flow in response to a reduction in flow rate within the closed system, which would otherwise cause recycling of fuel through the nozzle and back to its source.

International Classification:

B01J 802
F01N 315

US Classification:

23288FB

Abstract:

A smoke filter adapted to receive a stream of hot engine exhaust gas and to remove particulate carbon particles therefrom. The hot exhaust gas stream is passed progressively across catalytic beds which are spaced slightly apart within a closed casing. Each catalytic bed is mounted to an individual support member which is in turn cross braced with tension elements to protect the catalyst material from damage due to shock loading and high localized temperatures experienced within the catalyst bed.

Inventors:

Edward A. Mayer - Newburgh NY

Assignee:

Texaco Inc. - White Plains NY

International Classification:

F01N 315
B01D 3910

US Classification:

422179

Abstract:

A simple low cost smoke filter. It is adapted for use in an internal combustion engine exhaust system. It has a tapered body with a mass of alumina coated wire supported therein. The filter medium is under some longitudinal force created by a pervious support that has an unstressed curved configuration which is flattened against the medium. This is done in order to cause radial compression because of the taper, as well as longitudinal compression thereof.

International Classification:

F02B 300
F02P 504

US Classification:

123 32SA

Abstract:

A nozzle valve of the type for fuel injection in an internal combustion engine. It has a needle and a valve seat adjacent to one end of the needle, plus a spring to bias the needle against the seat. It also has means for lifting the needle off the seat when the spring bias is exceeded. And, it includes means actuated by the needle lift to initiate an electric spark signal.

International Classification:

B65B 5714

US Classification:

141217

Abstract:

Nozzle for a closed system holding a volatile fuel. The nozzle is adapted to sealably engage the filler pipe of a fuel tank whereby to avoid passage of fumes to the atmosphere during a fuel transfer operation. The nozzle will automatically discontinue fuel flow in response to a malfunction in the closed system, which would otherwise cause recycling of the fuel through the nozzle and back to its source.
