IMPROVEMENT IN ROTARY STEAM ENGINES.
'ro ALL wHoM rr MAY coNeEnN:
Be it known that I, RUDOLPH W. RIESS, of the city andcounty of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Rotary Engines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a clear and exact description of thehnature thereof, suilicient toenableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to fully understand and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which-#- Figure 1 isV a view of the inside of the cylinder, showing its working parts.
Figure 2 is an end view thereof.
Figure 3 is a detached view of the lever which operates the valve.
, Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several tigures.
My invention consists in a valve withinA the cylinder for reversing the motion of the engine, and which forms part of the intcriorof the cylinder, whereby the pistons will operate; also in the construction of the pis- Y tons, and in a lever which operates the valves, all as will be hereinafter more fully described.
In the drawings, A represents the cylinder, having the usual heads a and b, and mountedon legs or feet b or other suitable means;V4 O is the steam-port, and D the exhaust. The cylinder A is concentric with the piston-wheel E, in which are passages or ways e for the reception of the pistons F. These pistons are of the width of the wheel, and are recessed at their inner ends, having legs, which straddle or cover springs d, which are fitted on small rods orpins at the b'ase of the passages e. One end of these springs bears against this base, und the other end'againstf the pistons, whereby thepistons are always pressed against the inner periphery or face of the cylinder Af Thewheel is mounted on an ordinary driving-sl1aft,e, whose bearings are in the heads of the cylinder.v is a valve, ttedwithin the inner periphery of the cylinder, which is cut away, as
shown atf, and where the steam enters the cylinder. This valve is mounted on a pintle or shaft, g, secured .to its back, and whose bearings are in the cylinder-heads. 'The inner face of the valve is of concave form,
und corresponds with the inner periphery ofthe cylinder. The upper andlower ends of the valve are bevelled, so that they will fit snugly in the cut away pertionfof the inner face of the cylinder. The valve will form a continuation of the said innerface, according as either end of the valve is open er shut.
The operation is as follows: The valve being in position, as shown in g. 1, steam is admitted into the Vcylinder' through the port C, and will pass behind the va-lve and exert itself against the piston No. 1. The upperv inner endof the valve being in contact with the pistonwheel, the steam cannot pass downwards, andI thus will bear against the'left sides of the pistons, and move them as indicated by the arrows. When piston No. 1 nearly reaches the exhaust-port, piston' No. 2 will be operated by another supply of steam, and so soon as' the exhaust-port is partly uncovered, the steam between thesetwo pistons will pass ont through the exhaustport. The operation of pistons-2 and 3 is the same as the above. So soon as the pistons reach the lower end of the valve they are forced V inward towards the centre of the piston-wheel until they clear the valve, when they will immediately spring out and come in contact with the inner periphery-of the cylinder, 'ready for impact of the steam. l Should it be desired to reverse the motion of the engine, th-e Valve is turned from right to left, when communication between the cylinder and steam-port is at the bottom of the valve, the top being closed. Theoperation in thiscase is the same as in the former, except -that the steam exerts itself against the righthand sides of the pis-tons, and of course causes the piston-wheel to revolve in a contrary direction from that indicated by the arrows. The valve performs two functions, viz, admits thesteam-according to the direction desired, and also `forms the irregular or eccentric shape of the inner face-of the cylinder, which is necessary to operate the pistons. -H is an oil er tallowcup, to"tdmit oil for the necessary lubrication of the working parts. I is a faucet or cock to allow the water of condensation to pass o. The bearings ofthe pintle g of the valve G are continuedv on o'ne side, beyond the cylinder-heads, so as to receive an operating-lever, K. This lever lies against the cylinder-head, and is retained in `place by alug, h, against which the lever bears. I form the lever in two parts, which are hinged tpgether near its lower end. Y' Now, in order to move the lever over the lug and some of the bolts, the top part is drawn outwards, and then turned to the right or left, as desired. I thus dispense with any other means of fastening the lever, and present a simple and ingenious mode, as described, as well as a practical and useful rotary engine.
Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The reversible valve'O of a rotary engine, constructed and arranged substantially as described.
2. In combination with the above, the lever K, constructed Ofhinged parts, substantially as described..
lTo the above I have signed'my name this seventeenth day ci' July, 1867.
. RUDOLPH W. RIESS.
