27,493. Le Plain, J. Dec. 3. Spring motors.- The crank-shaft of an internal-combustion engine is turned by a stiff spring R which acts through a bar b<1> and cord w upon a wheel p carrying a pawl engaging a ratchetwheel on a sleeve engaging the crankshaft. The spring R is stretched by a friction toggle l on the lever L engaging the bar b which is detained by a detent y', the bar b<1> being held by a similar detent y. An extended movement of the lever L to the left first disengages the detent y by engaging a pin k on the bar t, which is depressed, thus allowing the collapse of the spring R, and then the detent y<1> allowing a spring lever m on the free end of the cord w to return the parts b, b<1>, R to the left.
