Description: |
| This application is a division of my original application filed 26 Dec., 1896, and subsequently forfeited and renewed 19 May 1899.
Abstract:
In almost all instances it is necessary to draw in the explosive gases at one movement of the piston and compress the same by the movement of the piston in the other direction previous to igniting the gases, so that the explosion takes place every other stroke. I therefore make use of a gear S upon the crankshaft driving the gear T upon a stud and this gear T' is twice the size of the gear S, so as to revolve once for each complete movement of the engine, and upon this gear T are cams U and V, preferably on opposite sides, the one for actuating the induction-valve and the other the eduction-valve, and these cams are properly shaped and timed to open these valves at the proper moment.
Claim:
The combination with the piston, cylinder, and its head, in a gas-engine, of an electrode passing through the center of the head and insulated, and aprojection upon the piston arranged eccentrically thereof, and acting; in connection with the insulated electrode z in drawing the spark to explode the charge. |
