Description: |
| Abstract:
My invention relates to that class of gas- engines in which each forward movement of the working-piston is affected by the explosion of a charge of mixed gas and air; and my improvements consist in constructing the engine, as fully set forth hereinafter, so as to insure an instantaneous explosion of the entire charge, facilitate the introduction of the charge in the working-cylinder, and the rapid and entire expulsion of the spent gases therefrom, and to reduce the volume of the charge in proportion as the work is reduced, and to insure the ignition of each charge.
Claim:
The combination of a working-cylinder provided with a transfer and a power-pistol, and crank-connections, substantially as described, whereby the charge is transferred troll one side of the transfer-piston and compressed between the two pistons. |
