A pulley 8 iS sv ud to one end of Shaft :md a pinion i) s fast-@ned to the adler and. shot Shaf J ange ai the r pmxmx openings formed therein and leading through the sleeve 15 into space 34 via small recesses 35 formed in the projection 22 of cylinder head 23.

A water coolinfr space 36 is formed around the cylinder and suitable connections are made therefrom to a similar cooling chamber formed in the head 23 so as to encircle the spark plug 37. The water is led in through pipe 38 and" out through pipe 39. Suitable provisions are made as'at 40 for oiling the inside and outside .faces of the sleeve '15. A bindingpost 41 serves for the attachment of the electrical connection for firing the charge. 'A stationary packing ring 42 is placed around the projection 22 so as to seal o` the extreme upper end of the sleeve 15 from the space 34.

Packing valve' sleeve 24 is split diagonally, as at 43 andthe edges of such split are left sharp so as to continuously scrape away any deposits of carbon that may form around the cylinder ports. The sleeve has a series of four upper openings v44 which serve the exhaust function of the engine and another series of-four lower openings 45 which are the .inlet orifices leading from pipe 25 to the firing space 34. An opening 46 and a suitable pin is used to fasten the ring to the sleeve 15 at one point opposite the slot 43 so that the ring 24 may freely expand and slide in close contact with the inner' wall of the cylinderr Openings 44 are approximately radially opposite to each other and the outlet ones 45 are similarly disposed from which it will be seen that the slot 43 has no effect on either the inlet or the exhaust. The sleeve 15 has a series of openings 47 formed therein so as to feather the supplemental intake and exhaust and cause a gradualeffect to be pro- A duced.

In order that the packing ring may be placed on the sleeve 15 without distortion a solid ring 48 is 'slipped on and'suitably pinned after the ring 24 has been placed in position. If desired the packing ring 24 may be made in two parts as shown in Fig. 5. Each part being separately held on the sleeve`15 so as to break the continuity of slot 43. In this event duplicate fastening opening 4G would'be formed in the upper half of the packing ring.

F rom the foregoing descriptioi'i it will be seen that my device is simple to construct and efficient in operation, without having recourse to the usual complexity of parts. The supplemental supply of fuel is `believed to be of value in securing a greater average pressure throughout the piston stroke and also providing amore equable action, free from wire drawing than has heretofore been found in internal combustion engines.

If desired an ordinary packmg ring may be placed on the sleeve 15 below port ring 24 and any suitable oil grooves may be formed on the sleeve if deemed necessary. What I claim is'- 1.' In internal combustion engines, a packing ring having a. series of ports formed therein, the said ring being discontinuous vdiagonally to the -axis thereof.

2. In internal combustion engines, a packing member comprising a discontinuous ring having two series of openings formed -head projecting into the sleeve, packing means on such head, and means for delivering lubricant adjacent the extreme outer end of the sleeve.

4. In internal combustion engines, a rotatable sleeve, a cylinder surrounding the same, a piston shdably active therein, a

packing ring carried by the sleeve, a diagonal slot, outlet and inlet openings formed in said ring and means for holding the ring on the sleeve without destroying its elas- I' ticity.

5. In internal combustion engines, a cylinder, a piston Operable therein, main 1nlet-and outlet ports of maximum area, supplemental intake and outlet openings of reduced area, suitable valvular' control for said ports and al series of adjacently placed apertures adapted to gradually control the openings. t

' 6. A suitable base, anA annular recessed opening in the top thereof, annular openings on the opposing faces of said base, centrally alined heads adapted to seat within and against the opposing faces, a crank" shaft supported by the heads, a cylinder concentric with the recess secured to the base, a rotatable cylinder lining resting in the said recess, a piston within the same, and means for operatively and cordinately connecting the sleeve and the piston to said shaft.

7. In internal combustion engines, a base,

a, crank shaft therein, a/ylin'der supported on the base, a piston operable therein, connections therefrom to said shaft, main inlet and outlet openings of maximum area formed in said cylinder, supplementary intake and outgo apertures of minimum also formed therein, and suitable valve mechanism Vadapted to control the relation of such openings to the movements of the piston.

8. In internal combustion engines, a cylinder, a removable head therefor, a projection leerling therefrom into said cylinder, portail recesses formeel in the periphery of said projection, Companion openings ormeil in tlie wells of the cylinder, and suitable i 'Villar control therebetween.

l. ln internal combustion engines, a, snit :ible leise, n cylinder attached thereto, a revollible sleeve, a ernnk shaft having nearing in the base, connections from the piston to i the crank, other actuating connections from szli i shaft to said sleeve and ineens comprisingy n combined pecking' and valve ring cerrierl by the sleeve having ports therethrough :intl l slot reueliingfroni edge to edge wlierel by the intake, outgo of the cylinder :incl any deposits thereon are automatically controlled.

l0. suitable base, removable heads secured. thereto in axial alinenient with each other, e cylinder supported opposite recessed opening of said base, a rotatable lining n'niltzineously operable in the base and cylinder, i piston within the lining, a crank shaft y l D il i l in seid heads, and means for ectufltin seid shaft from the piston and said sleeve from the shaft.

ll. In internal combustion engines, a packing ring comprising two seperate inembers operative adjacent each other, and dif ferentielly placed slots and ports in said rings. v

Q. ln internal combustion engines, a rotatable sleeve, a cylinder surrounding the seme, a piston therein, one or more packing rings supported thereby, suitable openings formed in said rings, and a removable ren taining ring secured to the sleeve so as to prevent entlwise displacement of the packing rings and also permitting of their being assembled 'without distortion.

In testimony whereof l affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
