  • Patent number: 7520251
    Abstract: A piston type internal combustion engine having a fixed position stub shaft mounted on a base. The piston, piston pin and piston rod rotate about this fixed position shaft. The piston assembly does not reciprocate. The cylinder block assembly is mounted to an output shaft whose center line does not coincide with the center line of the axis of the fixed position shaft such that it is offset from the fixed position shaft. The block assembly consists of cylinders, end cap, air intake shroud and exhaust collecting hood. The cycle of combustion is two, three or four cycle regulated by the fuel injection and/or spark plug firing sequence. Air is drawn through a filter into a turbo charge type air intake shroud. Air is accelerated through openings in the cylinders and pistons. Fuel is pumped through the output shaft and to the fuel injectors. Exhaust is dispatched to a rotating collector having a labyrinth type seal, then to a non-rotating hood attached to the base and through an exhaust port.

  • Patent number: 5115991
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gyratory cone crusher having an eccentric member mounted within a lower main frame for rotational motion relative thereto. Disposed within the eccentric member is a crusher head assembly defining a first crushing surface which is adapted to gyrate relative a second crushing surface included within an upper bowl assembly attached to the main frame. Rotation of the eccentric member is facilitated by a plurality of V-belts extending between the eccentric member and a drive motor. Disposed between head assembly and the eccentric member and the eccentric member and the main frame are first and second bronze bearings which are interfaced to a lubrication system.
