Patent number: 11603881Abstract: A piston arrangement includes a piston movable within a cylinder in reciprocating motion along a piston axis, a rack movable with the piston, a sector gear configured to engage and disengage the rack and rotatable around a sector gear axis, a track adapted to rotate relative to the cylinder around a track axis of rotation, the piston being coupled to the track. The sector gear and the track are coupled in rotation. The track may have a shape such that the movement of the piston coupled to the track is substantially non simple harmonic. Also, an internal combustion engine comprising the piston arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: NEWLENOIR LIMITEDInventor: Ryan Bowen

Patent number: 10858938Abstract: A piston arrangement is provided. The piston assembly includes a track and a piston moveable within a cylinder. The track is rotatable relative to the cylinder about an axis of rotation and has a cam surface and an edge surface extending away from the cam surface. The piston is coupled to the track by a follower running on the cam surface. The cam surface is shaped such that, as the track moves relative to the cylinder, the piston head moves in reciprocating motion within the cylinder along a piston axis in accordance with the path of the cam surface. The piston axis is perpendicular to the track axis of rotation. A stabilizing element is connected to the piston, the stabilizing element extending below the piston head and comprising a contact surface which engages the edge surface of the track.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Newlenoir LimitedInventor: Ryan Bowen
