11. In a fuel-mixing device, the combination of an air-supply, a gas-supply, inner and outer cylindrical valve members having coinciding ports in their sides, one of said valve members being rotatable with reference to the other for varying the quantity of air and gas and said inner valve member communicating at opposite ends with the air and gas supplies, a partition arranged in the inner valve member and capable of axial adjustment therein for varying the proportions of air and gas, and filling-pieces arranged on the partition and fitting into the ports of the inner valve member, substantially as set forth.
12. In a fuel-mixing device, the combination of an air-supply, a gas-supply, inner and outer cylindrical valve members having coinciding ports in their sides, said inner member communicating at its opposite ends with the air and gas supplies, a movable spindle to which the inner valve member is secured, and a partition arranged in the inner valve member between the air and gas supplies and capable of axial adjustment therein, substantially as set forth.
13. In a fuel-mixing device, the combination of a valve-body having a mixing-chamber, and gas and air supply chambers on opposite sides of the mixing-chamber, a cylindrical valve-casing fitting in the partitions between the mixing-chamber and the air and gas chambers and provided with ports opening into the mixing-chamber, a cylindrical valve-barrel rotatable in said casing and provided in its side with ports adapted to register with the ports of the casing, and a partition arranged in the valve-barrel between the air and gas supplies and capable of axial adjustment therein, substantially as set forth.
14.
