there work resiiectively the pistons 9, l0.

liarh motor cylinder such as M'J ,is'pxov longed in the lorm oi a compressing cylinv der such as t? in the interior of which wort-:s a piston. 11 that is connected to the end ol' the connecting rod of the respective motor element. The pistons 9, 10 are fixed to the bottom of the piston 11 in such a manner that the compressing piston' in its movement, forms the guide for the small pistons 9, 10 of the corresponding motor element. In practice, it is preferred to malte the .compressing cylinders C1, C, Ca olf diameters slightly larger than twice the diameters oi the cylinders 6, 7 of the correspon ing motor element. The cylinder is pro 'ded near its lower end with apertures 12 opening into a tubular member 13 which serves for the admission of the explosive mixture and conununicates with one of-the ports of the collecting and distributing. device as hereinafter escribed. The cylinder 7 is provided near its lower end with apertures 14 opening into a tubular member l5 which serves for' tl'ie exhaust of the burnt ases.

ample, the piston 1() of the cylinder 7 uncoiers the exhaust apertures 14` slightly beitre the admission apertures 12 are uncovered by the piston 9 of the cylinder 6. The object of this arrangement is hereinafter described; l

lis the 'collecting and distributing device for cli'ecting a suitable connnunication 1oetween the compressing cylinders and the motor cylinders, and is connected to the arlmr. t n through the medium of a'special tubular member 17 and a rotary valve 18. TluI general arrangement of these elements is ai; follows: 'lhe gaseous 'mixture supplied by the carburetor is delivered into the tubularfmcmber 17 through a suitable duct'suitably connected tothe orifice 19 which communicatcs with a circular passage 20 pro- I vided in the interior of the tubularaneml'ier 17. The latter has further three apertures al, a, a which are arranged concentrically to the shaft 1 andcommunicate with suitable ,ducts c2c, c that open respectively intov the apertures d1, d2, d of the ducts e1, c, of the collecting and distributing device'l. i 1

The rotary valve 18 is formed with a circular passage 21., the length of which is eqt'al to about l of theA circumference of the slide. This passage thus places each o f the apertures al, of, a successively inr communicationwith the circular passage 20 that receives the explosive mixture.

The internal ducts or passages of the collecting and distributing device 16 are arranged as follows; rl`he passage e passes in trent ol the admission ports of the lefthand cylinder vof the motor elementlVl1 with which it communicates through the openingsl f1; then it passes around the passages c'', c" on its way to the admission ports ci the compresffing cyli lers (la with which it connnunicates througn thev opening y. The passage c2 )asses in front of the admission ports o1I the compressing cylinder C1 with which it communicates through an opening g1, and thence it passes to the ddmission ports ol the left-hand cylinder of the motor element M2 with which it communicates through the opening f2. The passagesJ passes in front of the znlmission ports of the compressing cylinder C2 withy -whicli it communicates through the open' ing g2, and then it passes to the admission ports of the left-hand cylinder of the motor Velement M with which it communicates through the opening f3,

The arrows k1, fr, ha indicate the severa 'paths traversed by the explosive mixture through the various passages of the collecting and distributing device 1G. rangement enables the fresh gases to be A forced into the motor elements M1, M2, M'o 'It is to ne noted that as shown 1n. the ex-.

respectively by means of the compressing cylinders C, C1, C2.'

The operation ol the improved apparatus is as follows:'When the rotary valve 18 occupies theposition shown in the drawings, it places the carburetor in communication with the passage cf and consequently with lthe passage-c2 ofv the collecting and distributing device. At this moment the piston oli the compressing cylinder C is making its downstroke l(the shaft 1 being assumed to rotate in a direction of' the arrow z' in Fig. 2) so that the cylinder of this c0111-,

.off comn'iunication between the passage c and the carl'iureter. This compression'is eiectedin the said pass ge and in the cylinder C1 until the moment when the-piston 9 of the motor element M2 uncovers the eorresponding admission ports 1Q, namely, when thesaid piston reaches the bottom This arend of its stroke, The fresh gases are thus compressed through the cylinders G and 7 marines during the whole time that thc ports 12 remain open, that is to say, while the crank m2 is traversing the lower arc o: of its course, and the coml'ircssing piston C1 continues to drive thc gases into the cylinders of the element M, while the crank m1 is traversing the arc ,t of its course (Fig. 2). The same operation is repeated for eachof the motor groups of the improved motor apparatus, and need not scribed herein. n

Fionihig. l it will be clearly seen that the exhaust ports 14: of the cylinder 7 of each element are uncovered by the corresponding piston l() a little time before the admission ports 12 ol. the cylinder (l of this said element are uncovered by the piston 9. The result of this arrangement is that at the moment when the compressing-piston of the cylinder (l2, for instance is about to compress the fresh gases into the cylinders of the motorelement Mi", there is already produced inthe cylinders 6 and .Y of the said element/j an expulsion of the burnt gases in -the sense indicated by the arrow j in Fig. l.

Consequently the expulsion of the burnt gases and the filling of the motor cylinders with. fresh gases must take place with certainty, and when the two pistons and l0 of each motor element move upward simul.

taneously, they will compress fresh pure gases which are not mixed with the residues of burnt gases, for the purpose ot providing explosive mixture at the moment of the explosion. Y
