ABSTRACT:
A reciprocating, multicylinder, 4-cycle internal combustion engine having a rotating power output crankshaft wherein the conventional connecting rod is replaced by a carrier member, attached to the piston and directed toward the open end of the cylinder and a guide member pivotally attached to the crankshaft throw, interconnecting with the carrier member in sliding relationship along a path lying in a plane normal to the axis of rotation of the crankshaft. It is preferred that two such cylinders are used in side-by-side, parallel arrangement with a power stroke in alternate cylinders so that each downward stroke of the pistons in unison involves a power stroke.
