This invention relates to compressors, and is adapted. formany uses and especially adapted for use as a refrigerating machine.

An object of' the invention is to provide an im rovedcompressor designed and adapts for operation for many purposes,

- and includingzajstationary housing supporting a' rota" -shaft having a rotor attached thereto. wit 'n the' housing and supporting a rotor cylinder in floating relationship to.

' the shaft andprovided with equipment for.

' tured" at comparatively efiectin'g compression of the air or gas and. discharging t e compressed air or gas. into the housing.

Anotherobjectof the invention is to pro-- Vide an improved'compressor in which the rotor and a. rotorcylinder in which itfis enclosed are maintained in the proper cooperative relationship to effect compression of the air or gas as an incident to the operation'of the rotor. I

Another object of the invention is to rovide'animproved compressor of simplified construction that is big ly eincien't in operation, durable; I and which may be manufacthe existing need all .public demand for, such a machine. l Other objectsofj the, invention will ap pear from the "following description. refer ence being made to the accompanying drawin sin which- -x I s ig. 1 is'averticallongitudinal sectional view of my improved compressor.

Fi 2 is a-vertical cross sectional view approx1matelyon the line 2'2 of Fig. 1.

. i Fig. 3 is a sectional view approximately Fig. 7 is an end elevation of; the piston late. i p The housing of the machine comprises a lower. housing member 1 having a supporting member 3 the lower edgeo low cost to supplyelevation of the cylinder ing flange 2 which, when placed upon a supporting base, forms a confined chamber adapted'to' contain. water as a cooling medium for the machine; and an upper houswhich is seated .upon the upper edge'of the lower housing member'to orm a housing the. compressor mechanism. A shaft .4 is. journaledin anti-frictipn;

enclosing bearings 5 mounted in the end walls of the ment in either direction 'by shoulders .6-

against the-inner sides of saidbearings. -To

one end of the housing a. chamber 7 is'a-ttached and supports a sealing device around the shaft 4' comprising a shouldered cylindrical member 8 having its inner end engaging the-inner rin of the anti-friction bearing 5. The mem er 8 is held'in place by a ring 9 against the outer end thereof.

. and a nut 10 screwed on-the shaft. Sealing I rings 11' encircle thereduced portion of the member 8 and by lateral contact with said member 8 and with rings 12 and by e ripheral contact 7'formaseal. I J H A similar sealing device to the parts of which like reference characters are applied. is'provided adjacent to'the bearing {Eat .the opposite'en-d of the housing, the rings 11" of the second sealing device contacting with the inner wall of the chamber 13. An inlet pipe 14.- opens into thev chamber to admit thereto the air or gas to be compressed. The

shaft 4 extends-into the chamber-13 and is [hollow from said end a suflicient distance to form a passage to admit into the compressor the air or gas to be compressed. A valve disc 15 has a stem 16 operating in a guide .17 and. is movable to and from position to open and to close the inlet opening. 18 to the'chamber 13. A pi e19 0 ns into the chamber 13 through t e gui e 17 and a port 20. I

The rotor shown rotates with the shaft 4 within the housin of the machine. rotor. is of improve construction comprisin a-hub 21, a circumferential flange or housing and is held from longitudinal move:

with the wall of the housing The we 22 integral'with the hub approximately midway of its length,.a cylinder 23 integral with the fiangeor web 22, and a series of webs 24 integrally connecting the hub 21, the

4 larger inside diameter than the outside ferential diameter of the rotor cylinder 23 is sup-.

ported upon the upper peripheral portion of and surrounds said cylinder 23 (Fig. 2). -Within the cylinder 25 at each end of the rotor an annular trunnion plate 26 is mounted, said trunnion plates bearing against the ends of the rotor cylinder 23 and having their peripheries within ooves 27 in the cylinder 25. The trunnion plates 26 are pressed inwardly against the rotor cylinder 23 by springs 28 interposed between the trunnion plates and end plates 29 attached to the cylinder 25 by .bolts 30 passing throu h the end plates 29 and circum anges 31 on the cylinder 25. 'The rotor is provided with a radial slot 32 in which a piston plate 33 is mounted and has its-outer .edge'held in contact with-the iston. plate cylinder 25. The ends of the earings 35 have trunnions 34 mounted in 'in the trunnion plates 26. Packing or sealing strips 36 are mounted in a groove in the outer edge ofthe piston plate 33 and, by contact with the inner surface of the cylinder 25,form an impervious joint. The ends of the piston plate 33 fit closely against the inner surfaces of the trunnion plates 26 and.

35. The rotor. is provided with a counterbalprevent the passage of air or gas between said parts.

ance weight 37 diametrically opposite from the heavier part 38 of the rotor in which the piston plate 33 is mounted and the inlet and outlet passa es are formed as hereinafter described. 0, too, the trunnion plates 26 are provided with weights 39 diametrically opposite from and counterbalancing the piston plate 33. v

A yoke ,40 extends longitudinally above the cylinder 25 and has a-pair of depending arms 41 at each end (Fig. 3) embracing an thrustin u .on ant1-friction bearings 42 mounte on fiub portions 43 formed integral with and extending outwardly from the end lates 29. Springs 44 (Fig. I) mounted in iiollow spring seats 45 ress upon the yoke 40 causing the yoke to old the cyl nder 25 close against the rotor 23. The spring seats 45 are screwed in threaded ho es 111 the upper housing member'3 and, because of such arrangement, may be adjusted to vary the tension of the springs 44. screwed upon the extended. en s of the sprin seats 45 and, by pressure upon packobtain hermetic oints. rom the bore in the shaft'4 a passage 48 opens into a passage 49 through the rotor. The passage 49 intersects the periphery of the rotor near the rear side of the piston Ca 5 46 are' plate 33. As. seen in Fig. 2 the rotor turns in a counterclockwise direction so that as the area of the space at the right of the piston plate diminishes compression is obtained. Asxthespace at the'right of the piston plate 33 diminishes the space at the left increases in volume, becoming filled'with air or gas. \Vhen the piston plate passes beyond Ethe upper vertical radius 'of the rotor the air or gas that had entered through the passage 49 is continuously and successively compressed and forced through a valve 50 into the rotor, and thence through the openings in the trunnion' plates 26 and the cylinder end plates 29. into the housingf the machine.

. To maintain the yoke 40 in proper relationship to its associated parts guides 51 (Fig. 3) are screwed in threaded parts 52 of the machine housing at the outer sides of the respective arms 41 of the yoke. These screws hold the yoke. centered and permit free op-' eration of the yoke. The guides'51 may be firmly held in their adjusted positions by lock screws 53 and the .openings may be hermetically sealed by pipe plugs 54 screwed in the outer ends of the parts 52.

The-compressed air or gas is conducted from the machine through an outlet pipe 55. From the foregoing and by reference to Figs. 1 and 2, it will be understood that as the rotor turns in a counterclockwise direction air or gas is drawn into the machine through the inlet pipe 14 and through the several passages comprising the hollow shaft 4, slot 48 and passage 49, to the space between the rotor and the cylinder 25. As the rotor continues to rotate in a counterclockwise direction the. air or gas is compressed and forced through the valve 50, and

This machine may be manufactured at comparatively low cost and sold to meet an existing public need for an inexpensive re frigerating machine and other purposes.

. The parts and assembly are not complicated. Theyare of strong construction and too durable quality and'may be maintained in proper cooperative relationship without difficulty. be varied within equivalent limits without The structure of the machine'may departure from the nature and principle'of the invention, as set forth in the appended claims.
