ABSTRACT:
A high efficiency, low cost fluid pressure engine. This engine converts reciprocating piston motion to rotary output in a novel manner. The engine comprises at least two parallel pistons adapted to reciprocate in cylinders within an engine block closed by upper and lower heads. Each piston is rigidly secured to a piston rod located along the cylinder centerline and extending through substantially fluid tight packing in the lower head. The lower end of each piston rod is flexibly connected to a connector which also includes an opening surrounding a first crank pin. Swinging links are provided interconnecting each of the connector and the engine housing to constrain the movement of the piston rods and valve push rods to substantially linear motion. The crank pin is mounted on a crank plate offset from an output drive shaft so that as steam or another fluid drives the pistons, linear motion is converted to rotary output motion. The connector includes a single rigid plate having a generally isosceles triangle configuration with said crank pin surrounding opening at the apex and links for connection to the ends of the piston rods at the other corners. The ends of the piston rods have roughly "C" shaped configurations partially surrounding the plate corners. Small flat links flexibly connect pins in the corners and the piston rod ends in a manner providing linear piston rod movement as the plate rocks and reciprocates during engine operation.
