ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine in which a circular housing is journaled to an end of a connecting rod remote from a piston at an eccentricity, and a rotary member is rotatably received in the circular housing, with an output shaft connected to the outer surface of the rotary member at an eccentricity. An internal ring gear provided in the circular housing meshes with a pinion gear fixed around a bearing. With this arrangement, it is possible to efficiently convert the explosion pressure in the combustion chamber into output torque on the output shaft, thus increasing the output torque of the engine while reducing fuel consumption. At the same time, the engine output power is stabilized in the low-speed region of engine operation. Consequently, the explosion pressure in the combustion chamber is efficiently converted into output power of the engine output shaft, thus achieving high efficiency and large output power of the engine.
