To all whom it Mag/concern. Y

Be it known that I, LoUIs STREBEL, a

of New York, in and State of New York, have invented certain" new and useful Improvements in of which the following is a specification. i

This invention relates essentially to a single valve with two passageways which is operated by means of a crank shaft connected to a piston adapted to reciprocate in a cylinder.

The object of thelinvention is to provide the valve with means for dividing it into I rality of ports'j for connecting the interior a -plurality of winding compartments to control the intake and exhaust.

7 Another object of the invention is. to provide a fuel compartment supporting one end of the valve adapted to permit expansion and warming of the combustible be-: fore it is admitted into the valve compart- The invention is designed to provide a single intake in the cylinder for admitting the combustible, outlet for the products of combustion.

The valve being operated to. rotate by means of the crank shaft, positively opens or closes the intake and exhaust when desired, thus opening and closing the port in each cylinder at any speed'of the crank shaft.

The invention is especially adapted for a four cycle explosive motor comprehending a series of cylinders, the fuel mixture being admitted on one side of the valve, while the other side of the valve after the explosion will connect with the exhaust for conducting the products of combustion.

The novel features of the invention are more fully described in the following specification and claim, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 represents a vertical section of a motor embodying this invention.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal longitudinal section of the valve and its casing.

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the valve. p M

I Specification of Ietters Patent.

'ders. A water casing, and it has pack "and: casing.

which alsoserves as an .Patented June 7, 1921. Y Application filed- .Eebruary '16, 1917. Serial No. 149,142.

In the. drawings isshown an explosive en- 5 piston 12 made to reciprocate in the cylinder by the explosion of a combustible as is well known. The pistons are connected by means of rods 0 to the cranks d of a driving shaft emounted to rotate in bearings f extending from the lower portions: of the cylinjacket 9 is provided for 0001- ing the cylinders.

ounted on the cylinders is a cylindrical casing it having a bore 2' open at each end. A water jacket 2" is made to cool the casing. The casing is provided with a pluof each' cylinder at with the bore of the casing, the function of which will be hereinafter described.

A valve 70 is arranged in the bore of the ing rings m to prevent leakage of the fluid between the bore Thisvalve can be tubular as shown or it could be cylindrical with the intake and exhaust ports formed in the periphery of the valve. A series of intake ports at and exhaust ports o are formed in the shell of the valve and coact at predetermined'times with the ports 7' in the casing a'communicatingwith the cylinders.

A convolute'd partition 0 divides the-valve 72 into two compartments 9 and? the former being adapted to combustion while the latter constitutes'the intake for the combustible mixture. An exhaust pipe 8 is fitted to a cover t and bolted to the rear end of the casing. The rear end of the convoluted partition of the combustible compartment, is cut off from the exhaust by means of a wall a disposed transversely, as indicated in Fig. 3. The forward end of the valve has a combustible intake opening '1) leading to the fuel compartment. A cover to having a double wall is bolted to the forward end of the casing. This cover has a circular opening w located in the inner wall and a pipe 4) connected to a carbureter will draw the combustible into the fuel compartment of the valve.

From the forward end ofthe valve projects a journal 2 and a stuffing box 15 mounted on the outer wall of the cover coacting with the journal will obviate leakage of the fluid. The journal has secured to it a gear 16 which meshes with a gear 17 mountlead oil the products'of will transmit one revolution 'to the valve 70, thereby governing it to open or close the port in the cylinder at the proper time.

As indicated in Figs. 2 and 3 the convolutions of the partition. 10 of the valve 70 form winding or tortuous passages in the valve to control the intake and exhaust of the four cylinders. The passages permit the first cylinder to explode the combustible, the second to compress, the third to exhaust and the fourth to intake the combustible mixture. Each cylinder has a single port j leading into the upper part of the cylinder and cooperating with the. valve is to at times intake the combustible, and at other times perform the function of exhausting the products of combustion after the explosion. The valve canbe made to control any number of cylinders, and by its peculiar formation one port in each cylinder is suflicient for coaction with the valve,.thus' minimizing clogging of valve andsubsequent fracture of the parts.

A indicated in Fig. 6'the four figures from top to bottom illustrate the four successive strokes of the motor. The position of the various pistons and their relation to each other when the front cylinder is about to fire is shown in the upper figure. The pistons move downward during the explosion and intake strokes and they move upward during the compression and exhaust strokes. In this arrangement the front cylinder fires first, then the second cylinder, then the fourth cylinder, and lastly the third cylinder. The fouroperations of the cycle namely, suction',,compression, explo-' the medium of this train.

ing an inner and cent the inlet, the

sion and exhaust are repeated in regular above it fully compressed and ready for ignition, the second piston is at the bottom of the suction stroke just at the beginning of its compressiomstroke and the valve is cooperating with the ports j in both cylinders is closed. When the piston in the third cylinder starts moving up on its exhaust stroke, it will force the products of combustion out of the cylinder through the passageway q of the valve 10. .The piston in the fourth cylinder 1 is then moving downward and as the intake passageway 1" is adjacent to the port y it permits a charge of gas to be drawn into the cylinder from the carbureter It willbe readily understood, that the. valve with its two passageways coul utilized for governing the port of a hydraulic as well as pneumatic or any other 'fiuid controlled engine.

I claim I An explosive motor comprising a series of cylinders each having a port controlling the intake and exhaust, a tubular rotary valve having inlet and exhaust to cooperate with the cylinder ports, a fuel compartment havouter wall located adjaou-ter wall-being made to support the axis of the valve, a circular inlet disposed in the other wall for admitting a combustible into the valve, and a cover having an exhaust outlet fixed opposite to the compartment.
