  • Reciprocating mechanism and engine including the same
    Patent number: 6474287
    Abstract: A reciprocating mechanism for use in an engine comprises a reciprocating member which is movable in a substantially linear reciprocating direction between two ends of travel, a piston provided on the reciprocating member, and a constant breadth cam and follower, the follower being coupled directly to the reciprocating member to translate linear movement of the reciprocating member into rotary motion of the cam, and the mechanism being such that movement of the reciprocating member at the two ends of its travel is reversed in dependence upon the rotation of the cam, the follower lying to the side of the piston bore and the piston being rigidly mounted to the reciprocating member.
    Type: Grant

  • Reciprocating mechanism and engine including the same
    Patent number: 6349694
    Abstract: A reciprocating mechanism for use in an engine comprises a reciprocating member which is movable in a substantially linear reciprocating direction between two ends of travel, a piston provided on the reciprocating member, and a constant breadth cam and follower, the follower being coupled directly to the reciprocating member to translate linear movement of the reciprocating member into rotary motion of the cam, and the mechanism being such that movement of the reciprocating member at the two ends of its travel is reversed in dependence upon the rotation of the cam, the follower lying below and to the side of the piston bore and the piston being rigidly mounted to the reciprocating member.
