Portable gas powered internal combustion engine arrangement

摘要

A gas powered internal combustion engine in which the gas is provided from the gas phase of a pressurized liquid gas in an liquified petroleum gas container and in which the liquified petroleum gas container is rigidly mounted adjacent to the internal combustion engine at a preselected angle to be in conductive heat transfer relationship to the internal combustion engine and in vibration receiving relationship to the internal combustion engine whereby the liquified gas in the liquified petroleum gas container is heated and vibrated and the effective surface area thereof is thereby increased. A pressure regulator is provided for receiving the gas from the liquid petroleum gas bottle regulating the pressure of the gas transmitted to the internal combustion engine and at least one flexible hose is connected to the pressure regulator for transmitting the gas therethrough.

主权项

1. A gas powered internal combustion engine drive arrangement comprising, in combination:
an internal combustion engine for rotating an output shaft for said internal combustion engine in an operating condition thereof, and said internal combustion engine having a crankcase heated for said internal combustion engine in said operating condition; said output shaft of said internal combustion engine connected to drive a preselected powered tool; a mounting bracket rigidly connected to said crankcase of said internal combustion engine for receiving heat and vibration from said internal combustion engine in the operating condition thereof, and said mounting bracket having an arcuate internal surface with a preselected curvature thereof to define a cavity; a liquified gas storage bottle arrangement having liquified gas therein and gas phase of said liquified gas therein, said liquified gas storage bottle having a cylindrical outer surface having a predetermined diameter and said cylindrical outer surface of said liquified gas storage bottle has substantially the same curvature as said preselected curvature of said arcuate internal surface of said mounting bracket; a strap operatively connected to said mounting bracket for retaining said liquified gas storage bottle arrangement against said arcuate surface of said mounting bracket; said liquified gas storage bottle rigidly and removably mounted in said cavity of said mounting bracket and said arcuate interior surface of said mounting bracket in conductive heat transfer contact with said cylindrical outer surface of said liquified gas storage bottle for said liquified gas storage bottle receiving heat and vibration from said mounting bracket for agitating and heating said liquified gas stored in said liquified gas storage bottle to increase the generation of gas phase therefrom, and said liquified gas storage bottle having an outlet connection.
