Description: |
| Claim:
My invention consists in the nse of a hollow steam-tight cylinder, within the central portion of which and turning in bearings thereof a circular disk of considerably smaller diameter than the cylindrical chamber is inserted so as to freely turn therein, but with steam-tight joints,thns leaving an annular space or chamber between the periphery of the disk and its cylinder around the same. Attached to the periphery of the disk, or forming a part thereof and projecting in a radial line therefrom across the annular chamber around the same, is a steamtight piston, against which the steam, as admitted to the said chamber through the steam-port, impinges and by its expansive power causes said piston and its dlisk to move around within the cylinder, thus imparting a rotary motion to its shaft. In connection with the piston, operating as described, I insert at and between the steam and exhaust ports of the cylinder, in its annular steam-chamber, a dividing steam-tight partition-plate, which, as the steam passes into the cylinder, prevents it from acting only in the proper direction to impel the piston, the steam on the other side thereof exhausting through the exhaust-port. |
