Secondary bores 2 cross the cylinder bores 1 and, as described below, serve to receive the cranks.
  • an eightcylinder motor has a cylinder housing 10 formed with four cylinder bores 29 (1) and foursecondary bores 12 (2) destined to receive the cranks.
  • the housing is provided with external cooling ribs 13 and with a jacket 11 for guiding cooling air overthese ribs.
  • Four cylinder heads 28 give the cruciform housing 10 a circular shape.
  • the housing 10 is connected to a bearing housing 14 constituting effectively a planetary-gear carrier as will be seen below.
  • the half 14 of the housing is rotationally linked by means of a flange 15 to an output shaft 16 that constitutes the motor drive shaft.
  • the housing 10 is also covered by a disk 17 which is formed with external gear teeth 18 adapted to be engaged'by a starting motor (not shown) and which rides via a bearing 45 on the shaft 19.
  • the bodies 10, 14, 15, 17, and 28 are interconnected by bolts and rotatable as a unit about a fixed axial shaft 19 (3) which itself is supported on a fixed support plate 20.
  • a sun gear 21 is provided on the end of the shaft 19 away from the support 20 and is also nonrotatable with respect to axis A.
  • the engine is provided with a carburetor 22, a pair of exhaust pipe 23, a spark-distribution ring 24 fixed on the axis 19, a set of points 25, a pair of ignition coils 26, and spark plugs 27 passing through the disk 17.
  • the housing 10 is formed with four pairs of holes 30 which open tangentially in opposite directions into one of the four cylinder bores 29. The holes 30 open on the inner periphery of the housing 10 next to each other.
  • the points 25, which operate bothignition coils 26, are operated by a cam 46 which is carried on a shaft 47 connected to the output shaft 16 and passing axially through the center of the motor and supported in the fixed plate 20 by a ball bearing 48.
  • the carburetor 22 is of the conventional type operated by an accelerator.
  • Each piston 31 is sealed by means of rings 31a in its respective bore 29 and forms therein a pair of compression chambers 29a and 29b.
  • a short crankshaft 34 rotatable in the bore 12 transverse to the bore 29 has a crank 33 engaging in a cutout 32 formed with a trans verse groove 35 in the side of the piston 31, as seen in FIG. 6.
  • This groove 35 is U-shaped in cross section and extends at right angles to the pistons displacement axis A.
  • a two-part hardened lining 36 is provided in the groove 35 in which two needle-bearing mounted rollers 37 ride.
  • the lining 36 is slightly stepped so that it has one surface 36' (see FIG.
  • roller 38 in constant contact on one side with one roller 37 and another surface 36" on the other side in contact with the other roller for constant contact free from play.
  • An axial groove 38 is formed in the opposite side of the piston and is similarly provided with a hardened lining 40 that receives a roller 39 mounted on the housing 10 and held in place by disk 17 to prevent rotation of the piston 31 in its bore 29.
  • the roller 38 could be doubled and used with a stepped lininglike the rollers 3, if desired.

  • Each pinion 43 meshes with the sun gear 21 and has one quarter as many spur-gear teeth as this sun gear so that it must rotate four times for each single revolution of the output shaft 16.
  • Cooling water is circulated through longitudinal holes 54 in the shaft 19. This coolant is fed in by a pump 54a through a ring 55 formed in the plate 20, then passes axially in bores 54 in one direction through the shaft to its end where it is reversed by a rubber gland 56 and flows axially back in the other direction for collection in a groove 57 formed in the plate 20 within the circular groove 55.
  • Air is drawn into the engine through a pair of diametric'ally opposite and axially extending intake channels 58 in the shaft 19 which are formed with radially opening orifices 58a.

  • the entire surface of the shaft 19 and the four cylinders are shown in a planar arrangement although actually they are arrayed around the axis A. It can be seen that the entire 360 rotation of the housing is divided into eight regions l/2 U, with U being equal to one full 360 rotation of a crank 34.
  • each crank will turn four times, thereby causing each piston 31 to perform two'compression strokes and two power strokes.
  • the arrows show the relative directions of the shaft 19 and the housing 10. So it can be seen how one set of holes 30 will pass through overlapping intake and exhaust regions, then a region where they are closed during which ignition and the power stroke takes place, and finally into another such cycle for two complete Otto cycles per revolution of housing 10. Two oppositely directed tangential holes 30 are provided in conjunction with slightly overlapping intake and exhaust orifices 58a and 59a in order that good scavenging of the useless exhaust gases with clean air will take place for best efficiency.
  • One such engine haseight cylinders each with 25 cubic centimeters of displacement to give a total displacement of 200 cc.
  • the bore is 41.5 millimeters and the stroke 20 millimeters.
  • the small cranks turn at four times this rate, or l2',000 rpm.
  • This crank rotation rate appears high, but since the stroke is only 20 millimeters, the piston speed is only around 8 meters per second, which is entirely within nonnal machine capacities.
  • the engine exhibited minimal throw, and generated only a hum, more pronounced of an electric motor than an intemal-combustion engine.
  • the device will function as a pump.
  • the housing 10 can be fixed and the shaft 19 driven, to reverse the operation of the machine.
  • the rotor comprises a pair of mutually orthogonal housings G and G carried on the shaft 3 and each formed with two cylinder bores 1 both defining a plane orthogonal to the motor axis A and extending transverse to the shaft 3 and with two crank bores 2 extending parallel thereto.
  • each housing G and 101 (G has four cylinders 129 (1) defined by pistons 131.
  • a sungear 102 is formed between housings 100- and 101 on the shaft 107 and is engaged by the pinion planet gears 134 of the crankshafts 103.
  • These crankshafts 103 are set in bearings 141 in theirrespective housings and in bearings 110 seated in the cylinder head 104 of the opposite housing.
  • the control orifices 109 in the shaft 107 are offset at 22.5 intervals.
  • Th principal advantage to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 9 and 10 is that the cylinder heads 104' have flat, planar surfaces that can be very securely bolted to the respective housings. At the same time very. heavily ribbed cylinder heads 104 can be used for most efficient heat dissipation. Another one or two housings can be mounted on the same shaft in a similar manner to, produce a 12 orl6-cylind er engine.
  • the spark plugs 105 extend axially from the cylinder heads 104. Only one of the spark distributors 106 need be mounted on the shaft 107. The other distributors 108 may be fastened on the inside of the air guide (11 in FIG. 4).
  • FIG. 11 shows the arrangement seen in FIG. 3 wherein a two-part housing 0., is formed with cylinder bores 1 extending parallel to the shaft 3, with the crank holes 2 extending radially therefrom.

  • a fixed mounting plate 209 is provided at 210 with connections for cooling water. The points are housed at 211. g
  • the gear ratio is 1 to 6 between the pinion 205 and sun gear 203 so that each crank makes six revolutions for each revolution fo the cylinder housing around the fixed axis.
  • the fixed axis is provided with two sets of control passages each having three pairs of control orifices.
  • such an engine requires three ignition coils since three cylinders will fire simultaneously rather than just two.
  • eight bores and similar changes could be made for a l6-cylinder engine.
  • Such engine is ideally employed for use at low speeds, and for heavy loads to prevent the rotation rate of the cranks froni growing excessively. It is similarly possible to provide an arrangement of control orifices that would, with proper doubling of ignition time, allow the engine to be operated as a two-cycle engine, in which case an oil-gas mixture could be used as fuel or fluid medium to drive it and to lubricate it.
  • FIGS. 12-15 show a piston arrangement usable in any of the above-described motors where considerable power is to be transmitted. More specifically the crank 201' rotates to impart a stroke H to the piston 302. The crank 301 is connected via a connecting rod 303 to the piston which can assume the positions shown at 303' and 303" in FIG. 14. The piston 302 is cutaway at 305 on both sides to allow such movement and is even cut away at 304 to save weight.
  • a nose 306 is provided on the inside of the piston 302 and carries a piston bolt 307.

  • FIGS. 16-18 there is shown an arrangement similar to that of FIG. 1 wherein the pistons all have axes A lying in a common plane orthogonal to the rotation axis A of the engine.
  • the cylinder bores carry respective pistons 404 which subdivide them into chambers 437 which are covered over by triangularsection cylinder heads 401.
  • These heads 401 each carry a single spark plug, however, and neighboring chambers 437 are interconnected so that this is a fourcylinder engine.
  • Each double chamber 437 is connected via a single hole 405 or 406 to the inner periphery of the housing 403.
  • the holes 405 are axially offset from the holes 406 to allow their respective cylin-' I ders to have overlapping intake and exhaust cycles.
  • a support plate carries a carburetor 414 and its air filter and another air filter 415 so that, depending on the position of a flap valve 416 in a conduit 413 downstream of the carburetor 414, a mixture of air and some gas can be sucked in by the intake passage 407 or only air can be inspired.

  • the shaft 409 is further formed with an exhaust passage 412, all of the passages 407, 408, and 412 opening into different manifold grooves 411 formed on the support plate 410.

  • Such engines can be used in automotive vehicles to good results since they can be expanded to considerable size for any type of load.
  • the principles described above can be applied to the manufacture of rotary motors and pumps featuring the same considerable advantages.
  • FIG. 19 shows an engine identical to that of FIGS. 16-18 except that it is set up as a' two-stroke or -cycle engine. More specifically the pistons 504 define chambers 537 having spark plugs 521. Each chamber 537 is, however, provided with two ports 505 and 506. The former continuously communicate with an exhaust groove 50% formed on the shaft 509, and the latter with an intake groove-509a also formed on the shaft 509 and communicating with a fan 506a which forces a gas-oil/air mixture into the chambers 537 when the pistons are near the bottom of their strokes.
