The invention relates to an air intake regulator for a compressor. The pressure in an oil separator is sent into the rear chamber of a jack having a membrane, which controls the acceleration or the slowing of a motor driving a compressor. A front chamber is placed under compression by the intake of the compressor. A selectively operable valve selectively interrupts the flow of air drawn in through an air filter.

An intake regulator for a compressor having a compressor inlet, a compressor outlet, a compressor motor, and compressor means selectively operable to draw fluids from said inlet, pressure said fluid and direct said pressurized fluid to said compressor outlet, said regulator comprising: a main body; a main passageway extending through said main body and having a passageway inlet and a passageway outlet, said passageway outlet being interconnected with said compressor inlet for fluid flow therebetween; valve means disposed along said main passageway selectively operable to close said main passageway, said valve means being biased upon in response to the operation of said compressor means; a stem member movably mounted in said main passageway, said stem member having a first portion extending from and passing through said valve means, said stem member further having a second portion extending from said main body such that reciprocation of said second portion of said stem member controls the operation of said compressor motor; abutment means disposed on said stem member; biasing means for biasing said valve means towards a closed condition such that the amount of fluid flowing through said valve means is dependent on the suction created by said compressor means at said compressor inlet; biasing means adjustment means selectively operable to adjust said biasing means in response to changes in the pressure at said compressor outlet; and a flexible diaphragm interposed said main passageway and said biasing means adjustment means, said abutment means being biased by said diaphragm against the force of said biasing means in response to the pressure level of said biasing means adjustment means.
