ABSTRACT:
A steam engine with axially aligned cylinders. Disposed within the cylinders are aligned pistons. An inlet valve is provided for each cylinder to control the flow of steam in the associated cylinder for imparting a reciprocating movement to the piston in the associated cylinder. Power conversion means have a swash plate that is disposed between the pistons and that is rotated by the sequential power strokes of the pistons. The inlet valves are actuated by means responsive to the movement of the swash plate to control the flow of steam in the cylinders. The swash plate is formed with recessed, annular thrust surfaces. Projecting at right angles from the recessed, thrust surfaces are ribbon cams, which engage push rods for actuating the same. The push rods actuate the inlet valves. The throat thickness of the swash plate between the recessed, annular thrust surfaces is of a uniform dimension along the circumferential paths thereof. The recessed, annular thrust surfaces have their axes coincident with the axis of rotation of the swash plate so that the radial components thereof are at right angles to the axis of rotation of the swash plate.
