Abstract

An improved variable proportioner is provided which includes a spring biased lost motion connection between the motor piston and the slave pump piston thus providing for accurate adjustability of the metering proportion as well as prevention of stalling of the slave piston against the front cylinder wall. A pivotable connection of the toggle lever spring is also provided to reduce bending of the spring and to enhance its life span.
