To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM RICK VEGFJ, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at 67 Third Avenue, St. Peters, State of South Australia, Commonwealth of Australia, have invented a certain new and useful Two- Stroke Internal-Combustion Engine, .of which the following is a specification. This invention comprises a two-stroke internal-combustion engine for use with oil, petrol, alcohol, benzine or other Volatile fuel, and is especially adapted for use in motor cars, aeroplanes and motor cycles.
It is very simple in construction and. in operation and has no valves other than port valves. All valve operating gears consisting of cams, camshafts, tappets, tappet rods, rockers, valve guides, valve timing wheels, '20 and springs have been eliminated.
In. order that my invention may-be clearly understood I will describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which I have shown iii-Figs. 1,2, 3 and 4: a single block of three cylinders, and in Fig. 5 two such blocks placed at an angle of 60. In Figs. 1 and 5 I have shownthe crank shaft and crank case for two blocks forming a 6 cylinder engine.
Fig. 1 is a central vertical-longitudinal section upon line a b of Fig.3 of the cylinders and crank case but showing the pistons in full.
Fig. 2 is a central verticallongitudinal section, also upon line a b of Fig. 3, of the cylinder casting only, showing in dotted lines the position of the several passages.
Fig. 8 is a plan vie 'ing only. V V
Fig. 4: is a horizontal section upon line 0 d :of Fig. 2 of the cylinder casting only, showing the inlet ports and passages for the gaseous mixture and the outlet ports and ll passages for the burnt gases. I Fig. 5 is acentral Vertical cross section of the' cr-ank case and two blocks of cylinders and pistons.
As shown int he drawings each of the 1 cylinders comprise two parts 5 and 6 .arranged in tandem,- the part 5 of smaller diameter forming the power cylinder, and the part 6 of larger diameter forming the induction and compression cylinder. induction and compression cylinder strictly rare Application filed November 18,1920. serial 1%. 425,013." r I JOHN FRED-f stroke.

The smaller portion 11 has several piston rings 13 set into it near its outer end, also a battle 1 1- preferably formed as anintegral portion of thecasting projecting from its. top or outer face upon theisicle which passes the inlet port 16. The rings 13 not only. prevent loss of power but also prevent the passing of gasesfrom the power cylinder 5 to the compression cylinder 6., The baffle 14 directs the incoming charge of mixture to th p. of the cylinder thereby forcing.

The effect of this construction is that the gaseous mixture. does not. at any time enter the crank case, nor is any air drawn therefrom, nor doesany compression take Fig. Thave shownzthe induction passages V inder is a gaseous mixture delivery port 15 whereby the mixture is delivered from the compression cyl1nder,...-these.ports beingicon- I cylinder "'below" powencylinder No.-. 1 de nected by passages in .the wall of the unit with gas inlet ports 16'near the lowerend of the power cylinders 5.

The exhaust port 26 of each power cylinder is positioned nearthe bottom of same on the opposite side to" the inlet port l6and slightly nearer'the' outer-end of-"-the'--cylinder than the-inlet portjis. r
The oil pump which supplies or circulates the necessary'lubricating oil to my engine" is mou'nted upon the wallfof one of the compression cylinders. It comprises two concave cups 27"with a diaphragm- 28 of suit ableflexible-material such as leather, or very" thin metal clampedbetween them.

-The burnt gasesescape from the-port 26:
alternate suction and compressed mixture flows from compression cylinder No. 3 along the passage and through the port 16 into the power cylinder No. 1 thus assisting the escapeo tburnt gases. I
Upon its upstroke the power pisto'ncloses the ports 26 and 16 and as it rises it further compresses the-mixturezand when it reaches the topthe mixture 'is fired by the sparking plug. Simultaneously the induction and 7 compression piston closes the induction port 19 and the mixture is compressed in the compression cylinder from K which it is (a little later-when the piston-No. 2 descends) delivered through'the outlet port; 15 and '80 along the connecting passage and through the I inlet-port 16 to} the power cylinder- N0. 2.
