To all iii/"10m it only concern;

Be it known that i. Cnilnmin D. llm'rott. J11, a citizen of the United Stairs. l'tzh ldlllg at Providence, in the eonntv ot lrovidenre and State oi Rhode island, have invented a new and useful, illll'ilOi'ClDtllt in l lxploeivewhieh the following in a spot-itication.

This inn-ration relates to certain nevi" and useful inzpmveniente in explosive engines.

The invention partieularlr relates to and resides in the rotary valv vvhi h ('mixh t'sf of a solid rod or Shaft having rut-away por-. tions for the pnriose out rontrolhng' or gov erning the intake and the exhaust.

The ohjeet of the. invention is to produce a alve of this eharaeter \vhieh will he ellirient in eperatioi'i and which will he possessed of great strength and longevity.

In the drawingg e' Figure l is a. eentral vertical v eetional view of a four-cylinder engine. Fig. section of one of the eylindem and its piston. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary end elevati t n and Fig. 4 a detail perspective. view of the rotary valve.

In the drawings, the engine easing is des ignated l and. is formed with four cylinders 2 in which reei 'nfo wate the pistons 3. the lat- I ter being ronneeted to the eranlt nieehanisn'l 4- by means of the piston rode a. The upper ends of the evliudei are formed with a, *alve seat 6 n'hieh extends from end to end of the easing; 1 and through all of the eylinders A valve 7 "vvhieh is eonipoeed of an elongated solid red or sha'lt is mounted in the valreseat so as to rotate therein, and is formed with eigl'it ports each port l'ieing of quadrant town in ere seetion, the ports designated 8 in the drawii'igs are inletports and the remaining l' ll1' 'pt)li de ig'iiated 9 are the oiitlet. or exhaust; ports. It will he eeen by reference to the drawings that there in an exhaust port and an inlet port for each cylinder, said ports being die-- }'Josed atright :iirglim to each other. Eve shown in Fig. 2 ol' the drawings, the ports; are termed hy out-away pmtitnlf; \vhieh are snliistantiallv semi-eireular in cross 56(l'io1l and which, have lJOtllmls whieh extend in a 'ejht tmnsverse of the length of the valve in order that, when the valve is in 2 is a 'tragu'ientary transverse Four of DDE ISLAND.

the position shown in l ig it will he closed and when turned at right angles to the poeition shown in l ig. r2. eoinnniniealion will. he estahlished between the interior of the evlinder and the exhauet or inlet pipes. As shown in the drawings, the top of the easinn 1 is formed with integral. hooddike extensions l0 \vhieh regi ter with openings l1 Wlli(l1 are rut through the, top of the easing and are adapted to register with the valve openings 9. and! respertivelv of the, valve.

As shown in Fig". the valve seats 6 are formed in the top oronter end walls of the evlindere n'herehv the valve rod projects on o 'iposite aides o1" eaid walls. the mouths of the ports and 5) being of sutlieient; length so as to have their ends extend beyond said opposite sides of the cylinder end Walls to therel'rv permit eonnnunieation between the hood interiors and that of the cylinders. The inner ends of the hoods l0 terminate at the inner alLlU of the valve seat 6, the tops of the hoods extemiling' over the tops ofthe eyliuders and the oppmite ends thereof be inn direeted dgnvmvardly.

The rotary valve driven from the crank shaft; 4 by means of any suitable type of gearing such it r i'ostanee an that'depieted in the drawing The relative speed of the crank Shaft and valve is 2 to 1, so that the valve will he ro tated ;-=o us to alternately bring" the exhaust and inlet ports For eaeh ovlinder into register with the respective exhaust and inlet pipes 1i? \v hieh are eenneeied to the hoods 10.

it will he seen that v\iuee toe valre shaft or rod in of solid (rose eeetion, it is pens qHed of egreat str ngth and increased longevity a8 eonipared with a hollow rotarjv valve.

Having; thus dtaa-rihed my invention. l claim as new and t'ltrill't to secure by Letters Patent:

In an engine. in eomhhnition with a 11hr ralit of eylindere. the outer end walls of the evlinilem heing: t'ornied \vith'valve seats, a valv inrludiug' a rod of solid rro n seetion disposed in eaid seat and lltHlHQ portions uoierting on opposite ides of said evlinder Walls. aid rod being formed with an inlet. andan exhaled port {or eaeh ovlinder, said ports being of suhstautial are-shape in cross section and 1mm; mouths of sufficient lengthsoth'at theends of the mguth's extend name to this specification in the presence of bflydnd Opposite sides of the cylinder enjd two'subscribing witnesses.
