Description: |
Wilhelm & Bonner - patent attorneys
This invention relates to that class of engines in which the power is derived by the rapid combustion of fuel in a cylinder containing a piston. One of the objects of my invention is to provide an engine of this character in which the different parts forming the explosive mixture are not commingled until they reach the firing-space, in which the expansion of the fuel charge when exploded is about twice that of its compression, and in which a working impulse may be obtained during each revolution of the crank-shaft. My invention has the further object to improve the construction of the piston-valve, to improve the means for operating the exhaust-valve, to provide a reliable mechanism for regulating the supply of fuel, to produce an economical and positive electric igniter, and to simplify and improve the machine in other respects.
