  • Connecting rod bearings for a volumetric piston chamber machine
    Patent number: 4565103
    Abstract: The invention is a volumetric piston chamber machine wherein the crankpin is relieved of the inertia force and wherein a seat is constructed in a single piece adapted to act as a female part with the crank being a male part. As a result, the force distribution throughout this volumetric piston chamber engine is more uniformly distributed and offers the advantage of a smaller engine in the overall axial direction eliminating the harmful transverse stresses.

  • Rocker arm for axial engine
    Patent number: 4502427
    Abstract: A timing device for an axial engine comprising for each valve a return spring, a rocker arm and a push rod actuated by a cam. Each rocker arm is pivotably mounted in a rocker arm carrier which is itself mounted so that it can slide in a direction perpendicular to the corresponding valve stem and the position of which in this perpendicular direction is maintained by means of an externally controlled regulating element which actuates this rocker arm which bears on a push rod and the valve stem.

  • Thermal barrel motor
    Patent number: 4304173
    Abstract: A motor and especially a thermal motor has a connecting rod assembly comprising two radial rolling surfaces constituted by pairs of cones, one cone of each pair being fixed while the other is carried by a rotatable inclined seat.With this arrangement the position of the pistons of the motor at the end of their strokes is rigidly controlled and centered.
