ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a transmission mechanism that allows the transformation of linear movement into circular movement and vice-versa and may be applied to any machine where such a transformation is required. This mechanism includes connecting rods mounted on eccentric wheels, which are in turn connected to the elbow of the crankshaft. Due to this special disposition, these rods do not move in the traditional oscillating manner but only in linear form. Each connecting rod and its piston are cast as a single, light metal piece, without the use of connecting pins. The piston length need not be greater than strictly necessary for holding the ring. The connecting rod length is also reduced. The distance from the crankshaft axis to the cylinder-head union is not bigger than half that now typically in use. The crankshaft length is less than half the length of traditional ones. All this allows, in its use in an internal combustion engine, better thermal and mechanical efficiency, optimization of the relative weight/power and extends the engine's lifetime.
