Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to certain improvements in rotary engines, and has for its principal object to provide an engine having a piston so constructed as to regulate the quantity of steam admitted to the cylinder in accordance with the speed of the engine. A further object is to provide an improved governing device carried by the engine-piston and adjustable to cut off the admittance of steam after the engine has attained the desired speed. A still further object of the invention is to provide an improved form of piston and of the piston-blade mechanism whereby the radially-disposed piston-blades may be kept in close contact with the inner curved walls of the cylinder.
Claim:
In a rotary engine, a cylinder having steam inlet and exhaust ports, a revoluble piston seated within the cylinder, and an automatic cutoff arranged at the periphery of the piston and movable in one direction by centrifugal force, said cutoff forming one wall of the steam-inlet and serving to regulate the quantity of steam admitted to the engine. |
