ABSTRACT:
A two-cylinder rotary piston internal combustion engine. Two interengaging arcuate piston-cylinder assemblies move in a circular path on an engine plane. The piston of one assembly and the cylinder of the other assembly reciprocate with respect to each other. Two separate, at least partly hollow, rotating, support shafts are rigidly attached to each said piston-cylinder assembly, one on each side of the engine plane and perpendicular to that plane. Each rigidly attached to its piston-cylinder assembly. Two of these support shafts are concentric with a rotary power take-off shaft, while the other two support shafts are concentric with a flywheel shaft on the opposite side of the plane; the flywheel shaft carries a flywheel. A stationary engine casing surrounds the piston-cylinder assemblies and all the support shafts, with the flywheel shaft and power take-off shaft extending out therefrom. First clutching means, in alternation, each of the two support shafts on the power take-off side of the plane, only one support shaft at a time being clutched to the power take-off shaft, for enabling rotation of the power take-off shaft in a single direction only and for enabling rotation of each piston-cylinder assembly in a single direction, only, so that during operation each said assembly alternates with the other said assembly in rotating during one stroke and remaining stationary during the next stroke. Similar second clutching means on the flywheel side of the plane clutch, in alternation, each of these two support shafts to the stationary casing and preventing reverse rotation of those support shafts and of the cylinders. Drive is imparted drive from the piston-cylinder assemblies to the flywheel shaft and vice versa, in alternation.
