Application filed October 26, 1900. Renewed December 13, 1902. Serial No. 135,163. (No model.)
To all whom it nuty concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN F. COOLEY, residing in the city of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rotary Fluid-Engines, of which the following is a specification. v
This my invention in its broad scope relates to the solution of the problem of the construction of rotary fluid-engines for propelling or being propelled by fluids-in other words, a rotary fluid-engine which maybe operated by external devices to produce pressure in a fluid medium and, conversely, which operates in consequence of pressure in a. fluid medium to give motion to external devices. I found that when a point was revolving around and at a set distance from an axis at a given rate of movement upon aplane which revolved in like direction around an axis slightly offset from the axis of revolution of the point and with a comparative rate of revolution of the plane to the point, as two to one, three to two, four to three, 860., then the point delineated and circumscribed upon the plane epicycloidal or hypocycloidal forms, which might also be produced by the circle and point bearing disk of cyclometry, I noticed that the movement of two to one produced the wellknown cardioid, the three to two a nephroid, &c., and I also found that the cardioid had two such points revolving around the same axis, which would describe the same epicycloidal curvilinear form at the same'time, and that the described dicuspid form (or nephroid) had three such points, the tricuspid had four,&c.,and that if another circumscribed epicycloidal form was described whose cusps corresponded to these points upon these forms then the opposing lines or their axial and longitudinal extensions, forming surfaces which would be a condition of ractice, would form partitioned spaces between their opposing surfaces which presented conditions which if inclosiug a fluid under pressure on either side of a straight line drawn through the two axes (supposinL the ends-to be properly closed bysuitable end plates preferably identified with one of the moving parts and in close moving contact with the other) then the fluid-pressure would cause a rotary movement of the first epicy cloidal form, and the corresponding relative movement of the first epicycloidal form and the corresponding relative movement of the second epicycloidal form would follow, and if the first form was caused to move the second would-follow and a pressure be exerted upon the fluid contained between the two forms and between the partitions and the rate of the relative progression of the second form would be in the same ratio as the aforesaid generating-point would bear to the plane in producing the, first form, which would be the epicycloidal form of the cardioid, bicuspid, tricuspid, &c., of this. engine, and upon this I base my invention.
In practice it substantially consists of the combined correlative construction and functions of two preferably c ylindroid parts, a piston-cam, and a spacer-abutment of equal length one within the other, suitably bounded by parallel planes, each part rotating in the same direction, one in moving contact with the other at points having common ran dial and mutually equal cyclic distances moving at. a relatively constant rate of speed differing bynnity each upon an axis, which is independent of the other and at a slight predetermined distance or offset therefrom, but parallel therewith and of unchanging location, secured by suitably-attached axles or bearing-surfaces in fixed bearings, wherein the lateral opposing surfaces of one of the parts (the piston) is described by the said points of the other producing circumscribed epicycloidal or hypocycloidal forms or modifications thereof, one piece (the spacer) possessing numerically one more bearing-point than the number'of piston-rises and a. means for fluid entrance and exit to and from the spaces so formed. The part with the bearing-poiuts would perform the function of a partitioning and spacing device, determining by the distance between its points, which bear and move upon the opposing lateralsurfaces of the other part, the peripheral extent over which and by its relative movement the eral surfaces of the piston.
direction from which mutual surface-abutment exists with reference to any thereininclosed fluid. This piece herein is called a spacerj-"because it spaces off the periph- The other piece, whose lateral surfaces oppose the spacer and en pportthe' moving contact of the cusps thereof, is herein called a piston.
The spacer is preferably cylindroid, but may be otherwise constructed-as, for instance, by radial partitions connected together and moving within the limits of the cusps or bearing-points and performing their functions in contact with cylinders whose centers are concentric with the axis of rotation of the partitions; but the lateral surfaces of the'piston upon which the cusps or partitions contiguously move must be of epicycloidal or hypocycloidal generation, and to it or from it power should be transmitted, preferably, through one or two suitable axial extensions. It is also preferable to close the ends of the moving parts by identifying suitable disks with and at each end of one of the moving parts, so that they may revolve therewith in close moving contact with the other moving part, and when the disks are so identifled with one of the parts, especially when that part is the spacer, it is preferable to provide bearing-surfaces on the disk for the support of the spacer, making and providing a central opening in the disk large enough to allow the movement of the shaft therein.
, My'invention consists of certain novel features hereinafter described, and particularly pointedout in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a construction embodying my invention, Figure 1 is a transverse section through my improved engine. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through my improved engine. Fig. 3 is a view of the inside of one of the end disks, showing a wearing-ring with radial wearing projections. Fig. 4 is an external view of the end disk shown in Fig. 3.
When this engine is operated as a motor by fluid under pressure, motive fluid for operating the engine enters through the opening A into the steam or other fluid chest A, formed within the shell A through the port A in the cylinder A then through the opening A in the spacer S into the space A The motive fluid is now under pressure in the spaces A A and mutually repels the surfaces of the cylinder between the projections B B on one side and the piston between the equidistant wearing-strips W W in the other direction, the resultant of which pressure passes below'tlhe axis of revolution P of the piston P and propels the piston in the direction of the arrow a. The equidistant wearing-strips W W W form bearing poi'nts and are in continuous contact with the piston in all forms and positions of the moving parts of this invention, and the spaces between the strips form separate equal cylinders. At the same time that the movement of the piston takes place in Fig. 1 the spacer also revolves at a rate which, reckoned in complete revolutions of bothvspacer and piston, may be expressed in integral numbers, as 2 to 3, and the fluid under pressure operating within the space A continues to so propel the piston until its movement, together wit h the correlative movement of the spacer, brings their line of mutual repulsion to correspond to a line through the centers Sand P of the spacer and piston. In the meantime by the correlative movement of the parts the external spacer projection B has passed the port 0, allowing the fluid to enter the space C, then through the opening 0 into the space 0 causing the mutual repulsion of the surfaces, which in that position'of the parts also causes a ro-- tary tendency of the piston, due to the deflection of the line of mutual repulsion from a line corresponding with the centers of the piston and spacer, due to their relative change of position, and so on in order, thus keeping up the motion of the engine. When the spacer projection B has reached the point in its revolution in which it passes the port D, then the fluid under pressure in the spaces A A has free access to the exhaust-space D and exhausts through the opening D D is an additional port to allow free relief from the space as divided by the spacer until the spacer projection has passed the point at which it is desirable to allow the entrance of steam or other motive fluid into the spacein consecutive order, as shown in the drawings. In the revolution of the engine when the spacer projection B has passed the port C in the continued revolution the fluid will enter the space E and through the opening E into the space E", and the operationcontinues, as previously described The wearing-rings W provided with radial projections W, are located in the two opposite end disks E as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. On the outer ends of the engine are located the cylinder-heads G, through which project the shaft E of the piston P, and which cylinder-headshave also inwardly-projecting hubs G, which form a bearing for the hub H on the disks E to which are secured thespacer S through the openings E Fig. 4; The. axis of rotation of the piston P is parallel to but eccentric with the axis of the bore of the cylinder A3, which coincides with the. axis of rotation of the spacer S.
