Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to internal-combustion or explosive engines of a well-known character in which a trunk-piston reciprocates in the working cylinder and in which the air which is mixed with a hydrocarbon vapor to form the explosive charge is compressed by the forward stroke of the piston within the enclosed crank-chamber and is conducted thence into the working cylinder through a suitable port formed in the latter.
In-smaller engines of this type it is entirely practicable to cast the engine-frame, comprising the working cylinder and the crank-chamber, in one piece; but in larger engines the casting for the frame is so large and heavy as to make it difficult to handle, and therefore to make it desirable, if possible, to form the frame in two parts, which are subsequently secured to ether. It is impractical, however, simply to divide the frame on any convenient line, because of the necessity of avoiding any joint in the cylinder through which the trunk-piston moves and of the further necessity of providing for the requisite ports for the proper conduction of the air and the products of combustion.
It is the object of this invention, therefore, to provide for the construction of such an engine-frame in ,two parts, while meeting successfully the difficulties which present themselves, as above suggested.
Claim:
1. A frame for an explosive-engine comprising a base, an independent crank-chamber portion formed. with an interior seat having an air-inlet port in face, and an independent cylinder portion formed with a finished face to fit the finished face of the crank-chamber portion and having an extension fitting closely within said seat in the crank-chamber portion with a port arranged to be covered by the piston registering with the air-inlet port in said seat, said seat and a finished portion having other registering ports in their respective finished faces and an exhaust-port in the cylinder portion arranged to be covered by the piston, substantially as described.
