Description: |
| Abstract:
Our invention relates to an improvement in that class of gas-engines in which the explosive charge is drawn into the cylinder by one outstroke of the piston and compressed into explosion chambers by its return. The second outstroke of the piston is produced by the explosion of the charge, and the second return cears the cylinder of the products of the explosion. As will be seen, the pressure is applied to the piston during a quarter of the time only, the remainder of the time the engine being moved by the momentum of the flywheel. This leads to considerable variation in speed; and the object of this invention is to supply means whereby an impulse is given to the piston at each revolution, also a simple and compact arrangement of the valves and the mechanism for operating them.
Claim:
In a gas-engine, the combination,with the two cylinders having their pistons connected at a common cross-head, the connecting-bars e, and the crank-shaft, of the levers and their rods, the eccentrics, and the shaft M. |
