Description: |
| Abstract:
A chamber, 3 encloses the working parts of the engine. Hollow fixed connections, 4 carry a crankpin, 5. Surrounding the connections 4 is a shaft 6, arranged to rotate upon the connections. Pulleys, 7 are mounted upon the shaft, 6. Fixed to the hollow shaft ,6 is a box ,8, forming a central chamber within the chamber, 3. Secured to the box, 8 are cylinders, 9 provided with pistons, 10, the rods, 11 of each piston passing through a stuffing-box, 12. 13, 14 are the ports formed in each cylinder passing to a circular opening, 15 between each pair of cylinders. The outer extremities of the piston rods, 11 are secured to a crosshead, 16, and from the crosshead passes a rod, 17 to a bearing, 18, which embraces the crankpin ,5. A valve shell has outlet ports 20, the valve shell being circular in shape and fitting into the opening, 15 between the engine cylinders, 21 is a lug secured within the valve shell, and 22 is a rod pivoted thereto, and to a strap, 23, encircling an eccentric, 24 mounted upon the crankpin ,5. Steam is supplied to the central box through the hollow fixed connections, 4, from either direction, filling all the space within the box, and also the chambers at the other extremity of each set of cylinders, formed by the cap which encloses the crossheads, 16. When the pistons occupy the positions indicated in Fig. 1, the course of the steam is through the ports, 13 into the cylinders: at the same time, the ports, 14 are open for exhaust, the course of the steam being from these ports through ports, 20 to the chamber wherein the cylinders revolve and out through the casing at 27. |
