Patents by Inventor Jean-Pierre Ambert

Jean-Pierre Ambert has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10082028
    Abstract: The invention concerns a rotary volumetric machine with three pistons comprising an enclosure forming a stator in which there moves a rotating assembly forming a rotor comprising a crankshaft that mechanically engages with the pistons, the rotating assembly defining, inside said enclosure, six chambers of variable volume of which the volume varies when the rotating assembly rotates, each of the pistons delimiting, with the enclosure, a variable volume chamber called the extrados chamber and two consecutive pistons delimiting, with the enclosure and the crankshaft, a variable-volume chamber called the intrados chamber. The geometry of the pistons and of the crankshaft is designed such that each intrados chamber has a capacity greater than or equal to the capacity of the extrados chambers.

  • Patent number: 8951028
    Abstract: A rotary machine with a deformable rhomb includes a rotor formed by a deformable rhomb in contact, with or without clearance, with an internal surface of a housing forming a stator and/or with an external surface of a central crown, the deformable rhomb including four pistons connected one following the other by a pivotal hinge with an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the housing and thus forming a closed chain; a transmission mechanism to transmit movement between the pistons and a rotation shaft coaxial to a central axis of the machine, the transmission mechanism including a first rolling body mounted fixedly on at least one piston, an axis of the first rolling body passing in the center of the piston and connected to a second rolling body, a center of which passing through the central axis of the machine and being integral with the rotation shaft, the first rolling body being connected to the second rolling body directly or by an intermediate transmission member, wherein a demultiplication ratio bet
