ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine comprising a translation case or gear case, a combustion chamber and a rotary valve. The rotary valve is adjacent to and on one side of the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber contains a rectangular piston plate. The piston plate is hinged at one end to a shaft and adapted for oscillatory movement in the combustion chamber. The walls of the combustion chamber are formed by the inner wall of a first circular disc, the inner wall of a second circular disc, the inner wall surfaces of the engine block and the surface of the piston plate. The rectangular piston plate is integral with or fixedly connected to the shaft, which shaft is fixedly connected to a first linking means. The piston plate, shaft and first linking means are movably connected to a second linking means, a throw and a drive gear.
The fixed relationship between the piston plate, shaft and first linking means and their movable relationship to the second linking means, throw and drive gear are such that during the combustion-power cycle, when a compressed fuel-air mixture is burned in the combustion chamber the pistion plate is made to oscillate. The oscillatory motion of the piston plate through the action of the linking means and throw is translated to rotary motion of the drive gear. The engine has a main shaft which is fixedly connected to a main gear and the rotary valve. The drive gear drives against the main gear causing rotation of the main gear, the main shaft and the rotary valve relative to the combustion chamber and translation case.
The rotary valve provides means for removal of the combustion gases from the combustion chamber and for the introduction of fuel into the combustion chamber.
