Application renewed 13 Mar 1896.
My invention relates to improvements in gas-engines, and more especially to that class of gas-engines wherein the expansive force of the gas acts directly upon the piston and through the piston upon the other moving parts, and wherein gas is introduced at one induction-port and atmospheric air at another induction-port to commingle with the gas, and wherein the mixed fluids are ignited or exploded by an electric spark, the resulting combustion or dilatation of the gases furnishing the desired motive power. My invention consists especially in the means employed for producing the electric spark to explode the gases; in the means cmployed for governing the speed of the engine; in the means employed for operating the eduction-valve, and in the means employed for lubricating the connection of the piston rod with the piston and engine-shaft. My invention also consists in certain features of construction and in combination of parts hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims, the object being to produce an engine that is not only more economical and simple in construction, but that is more reliable, durable, and efficient than the gas engines heretofore devised.
