Description:

Claim:

In a gas explosive-engine, the combination with a cylinder, of a piston arranged therein, said cylinder having a gas explosion chamber on one side of the piston and an air- compressing chamber on the other side there of, an air-inlet communicating with the interior of the air-chamber, an outwardly-closing check-valve in the air-inlet, an air-outlet communicating with the atmosphere, a compressed-air tank, means for alternately conveying the compressed air from the tank into the air-chamber and exhausting it from the latter to actuate the piston, means for throwing the tank out of communication with the air-chamber, and means for closing the air-outlet at will, the arrangement being such that air may be alternately compressed and expanded in the air-chamber to act as a cushion for the piston, may be compressed and stored in the tank, or may be conveyed from the tank and alternately admitted to and exhausted from the air-chamber to aid the gas in actuating the piston, all at the will of the operator.
