ABSTRACT:
A rotary internal combustion engine has a block assembly and a rotor journalled for coaxial rotation within a cylindrical chamber in the block assembly. Angularly spaced lobes on the rotor separate angularly spaced pockets which are defined by the rotor. The pockets cooperate with the chamber to define compression and combustion chambers as the rotor rotates within the chamber. Angularly spaced apart seal assemblies pivotally supported in recesses in the block assembly are biased into sealing engagement with the rotor. Each seal assembly includes inner and outer seal members. Each inner seal member is pivotally movable relative to its associated outer seal member and is movable into and out of a channel which is formed in the rotor and which partially defines the combustion chamber.
