ABSTRACT:
A fluid pressure device of the type having reciprocating pistons disposed in associated cylinders formed in an engine block that rotates conjointly with a drive shaft mounted eccentrically to the spin axis of the engine block. The length of the piston strokes is determined by the offset distance between the spin axis of the engine block and the spin axis of the drive shaft, said respective axes being parallel to one another.
At least two axially spaced banks of radially disposed pistons and complementally formed cylinders are provided, and base plate means serve to rigidly interconnect axially adjacent pistons of the respective banks. Axially spaced bridle rings retain the opposed ends of the base plates and serve to rigidly interconnect diametrically opposed pairs of pistons.
Openings formed in a stationary cylindrical housing transiently align with the rotating cylinders to provide the valving means for the device.
