ABSTRACT:
A movement converter for use in a combustion engine or as an air compressor wherein reciprocating motion of a piston is converted to rotational motion of an output shaft or a rotational motion of an input shaft is converted to a reciprocating motion of the piston. The movement converter for use in the engine not only attains an improvement in the balance in comparision with conventional reciprocating type engines but allows the mechanical efficiency to be high enough to be placed into practical use concurrently with its physical dimension being smaller and lighter. The movement converter employs a crosswise disposition of the four cylinders and the interactive use of links together with a Z crank for converting the resulting swinging motion to rotational motion so that all the vibration, including the primary vibration and the secondary vibration, are dissolved by means of an interactive offset. If rotary motion is imparted to the Z crank shaft it is transfered to a perpendicular connecting bearing and a crank pin to impart a to and fro rotation to links for reciprocating the pistons for compressing a gas disposed within the cylinders. If reciprocating motion is imparted to the pistons, a to and fro motion is imparted to the links for rotating a rotatable shaft and a yoke connected to the perpendicular connecting bearing for rotating the Z crank shaft.
