As illustrated in the drawings, I prefer to malx'e the. engine of wo main castings, the upper one A containing the cylinders, :xml (he lower one B loin'iing the base and eranl; ezxiuxnfl (he izwo parte are holted log-ether. The ex'anhv shaft. 3 extends l0ngiuxlixxallv through the. :frank ease, and Yis supxxxxrled in .'xxitahle hearings 4, and (i, llxe hearings4 4 aml G benigni-ranged :it the llll ends of engine and the `nearing; 5 at the middle. vides the six crank pins of a six cylinder engine, as shown, into two groups of three each. The individual pins in each grou of three are equally spaced around the cran circle, that. these crank pins are spaced 3.20 degrees apart and consequently each group of three crank pins isthus perfectly balanced. I prefer to form the cranks projecting' radially from the center line of the shaft in each instance, and this provides a shaft which is substantially evenly balanced between each tWo bearings, that is, the weight is evenly distributed circumferentially around the shaft and added counterhalanced weights are not required, which is not the case in shafts of this kind where adjacent. crank pins'are arranged at l2()v degrees from each other, and wherein the hearings are spaced at other positions than between groups of three crank pins. The cylinders 7 are arranged vertically above the crank shaft parallel with one another and each thereof is closed at its upper end by an interally formed head 8. The vim-king portions of thecylinders and their .heads are surrounded by the water space 9 formed between the cylinder walls and the outer Wall or jacket l0 and the water Iiacket .is `provided with the Water inlet and ontlet connections 9 and 9 respec'tivt .lv The pistons 11 reciprocate vertically in the cylinders and each is connected to its rrsg'rective crank pin 19,. of the crank shaft 3 by means of a connecting rod il. Each piston is provided with a suitable paci-:ing ring 1.3 arranged adjacent to its upper end. This ring preferably comprises a solid or uncut ring of suitable material mounted in an annular groove 16 and held therewith by means of a screw followenl secured upon the upper end of the piston. The upper end 18 ot' the cylinder extends beyond the path of the piston to form lthe compression or combustion chamber 7 and within this space I mount a piston valve 2l adapted to control the flow of gases to and from thc cylinder. I provide inlet and eX- haust ports l5) and 20 respectively, in the cylindrical wall of the compression space 7 and I preferably make these port-scircmnferential, i. e., I extend each of them completely around the cylinder andA I arrange them parallel with each other and in planes at right angles to the axisof the cyl-ir Ver. '.ihe piston valve 2l controls these port.;x and reciprocatcd in the compression space to open and close the ports in timed relation to the nwvcmcnts ofthe piston. While tile combustion chamber could be made of any suitable diameter relatively t0 the diameter ofthe cylinder, I prefer 'to make it oia such a diameter that I can insert the valve tl'iroughtlie lower end of the This arrangement of bearings diA cylinder, as this construction avoids the necessity of a separate cylinder head. As shown in the ravvings, the valve and the combustion chamber are substantiall of equal diameter with the cylinder. This reduces the cost of manufacture, as in this instance the compression chamber constitutes simply an extension of the cylinder and the interior cylinder surface thereof can be more cheaply finished than if a different diameter were employed. Furthermore, by making the combustion chamber the samev diameter as the cylinder, I provide the longest ports possible in theform of cylinder 'construction illustrated,=these ports being relatively so long they can be quite narrow and yet afford ample port area when open.
The piston valve 21 is in the form of a solid or uncut ring and is provided on its periphery with packingl rings 22 and 23 which fit the inner cylindrical surface of the valve chamber and are adapted to close the ports 19,and 20. The ends of the valves are arranged at right angles to the axis of the cylinder and hence they are parallcl.\\'ith the ports. The rings are retained in posiltion upon the body of the valve by means of an integral annular flange 24 on the lower end of the valve and a screw-threaded adjustable annular flange 24 on the upper end oi' the valve. The packing rings are separated longitudinally by means of a loose spacing ring 25, and when once the valve has been assci'nbled thc packing rings and thc body of the valw` forni a substantially unitarv structure. The annular langcs 24 and y d4/Vas well as thc ring 25' are ot' sliohtl loss s .V v(hamctcr than the cylinder and consequently do not contact. with the cylinder. The rings which I employ are slightly comprcssihlc, that is, they can bo formed by pressure and consequently when they wear so that they do not properly contact with the cylinder wall they can be sct out to it the cylinder by compressing them longitudinally by screwing thc follower 24 on to the body of thc valve and thus forcing to increase their outer diameter. 'lhcsc rings arc solid. or. in other words, endless, and they arc made of .such material that thcy substantially have no resiliency and as they consequently rctnn their form they ride over the ports without springing into them. The rings 22 and 23 arc of greater width than the ports preferably abput three times as wide and therefore when they are centrally over thc ports they lap over at each side upon thc cylinder wall and prevent the passage of gas through the ports. The spacing of the ports corresponds with the spacing of thc rings and therefore when the piston is in midposition, spanning the two ports, both ports ring 25 as narrow as is practical in order (ill that the ports may he Close logethei: lt 'will now he seen that as the ports are relatively Close together the valve an he iliiie Short and hence it eau he inaile light in weight Furthermore`r the ports.` lil iiiiil ift heiiii nur row necessitate hut a short up :mii flume movement ol the valve to t'iillj; onen :mil close the, porta` anil henee the aerl; required, of the Valve moving;r niei-liiiiiisin i not @were The valve if; :ietiiateil hy i ruhe will This roil. prole ahl}v extends through thei iiiiler l1 lafl H concentric with the hore ol e'vliniler anil thc `ioint hetweeii the rofl :imi the ovlintler heail is paekeil hir :i suitable stiilliiitgr hoX 2H.

The lowery end of the cam rod.49 is provided with a cam pin 4S adapted to enter a cam groove 47 provided in the side face of the cam, and this lower end 49 of the rod is bifurcated to straddle the 'am shaft which assists in retaining this end of the rod laterally in place while permitting the rod to be vertically reciprocated.

'lhis pump draws oil from the oil hase (SS ol' Ythe engine and dclivers it into the casing G5. The heightl of the oil in this cam casing is determined by an overllow pipe (3i) through which the sur ilus oil returns to the hase of the engine. vhe valves of the various cylinders in the multiple cylinder engine are caused to move in their proper time relation relative to the Avention to the specific structure vi l show thc three prize the valve. i. 13:1' l have shown they inlet port oponga( l l have shown the exnausliport open ain vt iii l have `shown the vain-iu mhipwliion in which position both ports: are cioscl..
