Abstract

La présente invention concerne un moteur à combustion ayant au moins un dispositif à piston et cylindre, par exemple un moteur à quatre temps, un moteur diesel ou semblable, dans lequel un piston (11) peut se déplacer dans un mouvement de va-et-vient dans un cylindre (12) et le piston est joint de manière articulée à une première et une deuxième tige de piston (21, 22) au moyen d'une tige intermédiaire (23) jointe de manière articulée, lesdites tiges de piston étant jointes de manière articulée au niveau de leurs extrémités opposées à la tige intermédiaire (23) à l'une de leurs deux roues d'axe parallèle (15, 16) au moyen de leurs points d'appui respectifs (101, 102) disposés de manière excentrée sur les roues respectives. Les deux roues (15, 16) sont chacune en engagement rotatif avec l'arbre de transmission du moteur (13, 25) et chacune a le même sens de rotation. La compression du moteur et le schéma de mouvement du piston peuvent être modifiés par un dispositif de redémarrage. Un repos temporaire du cylindre est aussi possible dans, par exemple, un moteur à plusieurs cylindres.
