ABSTRACT:
A power shaft is journalled within a stationary housing having a cylinder formed therein. The axis of the cylinder is radial to the axis of the power shaft. A lever arm pivotally carried by the housing is linked by a connecting rod to a piston slidably disposed within the cylinder. A crankplate rotatable with the power shaft supports a cam follower which intermittently interacts with the camming surface on the lever arm to urge the piston through the intake and compression cycles. During the power stroke of the piston, the lever arm pushes against the cam follower, causing rotation of the crankplate. In an alternate embodiment, a wrist pin having a radially extending rod is rotatably carried by the crankplate. Gear means provide timed rotation of the rod to periodically contact and interact with the piston. Either embodiment may include a plurality of radially spaced pistons and additional respective cam followers or wrist pins. Each cam follower or wrist pin may receive several power impulses per revolution.
