Description: |
| Abstract:
The primary object of my invention is to produce an improved engine of the continuous cylinder type, which, while possessing all the advantages incident to this general method of construction may be operated as an automatic or as a reversible engine at will and operate equally well in both directions. My invention consists in means for balancing the pressure on the resistance plates to relieve them from pressure against their seats or bearings at the moment they are to be actuated; in improved means for-actuating the distribution valves; in a construction and arrangement of parts whereby the engine may be reversed by changing the relative position of a single bearing; in provisions for automatic adjustment of the distribution valves and automatic reversal of the engine.
Claim:
In an engine the combination of a continuous cylinder, one or more pistons adapted to travel therein, one or more retractable, resistance plates, an exhaust normally open and. means for closing the exhaust as the piston approaches a resistance plate thereby balancing the pressure upon the resistance plates. |
