ABSTRACT:
A rotary internal combustion engine fitted with ignition means for the fuel air mixture delivered to the cylinders comprising a rotor having an output rotor shaft, a housing forming the outer shell of the engine which is fitted with intake and exhaust openings for fuel and exhaust gases, the openings located in the outer periphery of the housing wherein the rotor housing comprises a rotatable support for the motor shaft and includes an irregularly shaped cavity which surrounds the periphery of the rotor. A plurality of radially disposed vanes are mounted in the rotor for radial reciprocating movement relative to the axis of rotation of the rotor. Novel interconnecting cam means are provided between the outer shell of the housing and the vanes to initially actuate the vanes radially outwardly upon rotation of the rotor to positively position and maintain the outer ends of the vanes in close operative proximity to the inner peripheral surface of the irregularly shaped cavity. A new spring means under tension is connected between each vane and the rotor which urges the rotor radially upwardly and opposite to the force of the interconnecting means which actuates and urges the vane outwardly.
