  • Patent number: 5992371
    Abstract: A machine with rotary pistons having an engine unit with a cylindrical chamber, the engine having two rotors coaxially mounted in the cylindrical chamber. The first rotor is continuously rotationally driven. The second rotor is intermittently rotationally driven in a same direction as the first rotor. A transmission is connected between the rotors. This transmission includes an engaging member having a non-return mechanism. The non-return mechanism includes a first element fixed to the engine unit and a second element in engagement with the second rotor. The first and second elements are cooperative with each other through an angular blocking during the explosion and intake phase of the engine unit. The hydraulic pump has a rotor coupled to the first rotor and a stator coupled to the engine unit. A hydraulic motor is coupled to the second rotor and connected to the hydraulic pump by a hydraulic circuit. At least one valve is operatively connected to the engaging member.

  • Patent number: 4510869
    Abstract: The security device of the invention comprises a movable organ in the interior of a cage mounted for rotation with respect to the body of a projectile, the movable organ being temporarily blocked from such rotation around the axis of gyration by at least one pin ejectable under the action of centrifugal force. Said pin is itself retained by an elastic spiral band enrolled upon the cage and which, as a result of a difference introduced into the speeds of respective rotation of the cage and of the body around the axis of gyration upon the exit of the projectile from the muzzle of the weapon, unwinds to liberate the pin. As a result, the movable organ after a trajectory of many tens of meters after the projectile has left the muzzle of the barrel of the weapon completes the pyrotechnic train which fires the projectile.
