ROTATING COMBUSTION ENGINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
' Patented Nov. 19, 1918.
Application filed March 25, 1918. Serial No. 224,677.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PAUL H. IRcENs, a subject of the King of Norway, residing at Tyssedal, in the Kingdom of Norway, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rotating Combustion-Engines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or fig ures '01 reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
be present invention relates to rotating combustion engines of the kind in which a plurality of parallel cylinders rotate about a central stationary axis, and in which the free ends of the piston rods are connected by means of links to a rotating member located in a plane at an angle to the plane of rotation of the cylinder, each piston rod being inclosed in a tube integral withthe piston and guided in a packing-box located in the lower cylinder cover.
The present, invention consists in an arrangement of the tube with the object of preventing any rotatable movement of each piston with regard to its own cylinder, and this object is attained by making said tube eccentric with regard to the cylinder axis.
In the accompanying drawing a preferred form of the invention is illustrated.
Figure l is an axial section through the motor, and Fig. 2 is another axial section, the plane of the latter section being vertical to the plane of the first-named section.
The tubular central shaft 1, which is provided with air intake and exhaust-channel is supported by hoops 2, 3. The upper end of this centralshaft carries a rotatable arm 4, to which is fastened the ignition mechanism 5 cooperating with spark plugs 6 in the upper cylinder cover 7.
he lower cover 8 of the cylinder is provided with a packing-box 9 for each tube 10 fastened to the piston, and in which the piston rod 11 is located. Said tube 10, as will be seen, is placed eccentrically in the cylinder and thereby prevents the piston from Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner rotating with regard to the cylinder. The free ends of the piston rods are connected by means of ball and socket to a rotating member 12 connected to shaft 13, said member 12 being placed at an angle to the plane of rotation of the cylinder. The cylinder jacket 15 at its lower edge is provided with a bevel gear 16 meshing with bevel gear 17 on the edge of rotating member 12.
claim:
1. In a rotating combustion engine a plurality of parallel cylinders rotating about a stationary central axis, the piston rods of said cylinders being connected to a member adapted to rotate in a plane at an angle to the rotation plane of the cylinders, tubes connected to the pistons of each cylinder, and inclosing said piston rods and guided in packing boxes through one end of each cylinder, said tubes being placed eccentrically in the cylinder with the object of preventing rotation of the pistons with regard to their respective cylinders.
A combustion engine comprising a plurality of parallel cylinders rotatable about a common axis, pistons reciprocable in the cylinders, a rotary member mounted in a plane at an angle to said axis, piston rods con necting the rotary member with the pistons, and tubes eccentrically connected to the pistons and inclosing the rods.
3. A combustion engine comprising a plurality of parallel cylinders rotatable about a common axis, pistons reciprocable in the cylinders, a rotary member mounted in a plane at an angle to said axis, a jacket inclosing the cylinders, meshing gears on the jacket and rotary member, piston rods connecting the latter with the pistons, and tubes inclosmg the rods eccentrically connected to the pistons, and guides for said tubes arranged eccentrically to said cylinders to prevent relative rotation of the piston and cylinders."
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
