Abstract: A rotary apparatus is described having: a vane; a rotor comprising a center, the rotor configured to carry the vane; and a housing, the rotor operatively mounted within the housing. The vane includes: a central vane axis extending longitudinally through the vane along a y-axis, the y-axis comprising a line from the center of the rotor to the housing, and a vane end intersecting the y-axis, the vane end proximate an inner surface of said housing. The vane end of the vane further includes a vane extension protruded radially outward from about the vane end along an x-axis about perpendicular to the y-axis, the vane extension comprising at least one aperture therethrough.

Abstract: The invention is to reduce flutter and wear and improve the serviceability and wear life of tip seals for roots blower and screw type compressor superchargers where used for improved supercharger output and efficiency. As the seals travel over the outlet opening, the seals move outward in their slots, leading to flutter which may shorten their useful lives. As each seal reaches the center of the outlet opening, it is forced back into its groove by engaging a valley of the mating rotor with the likelihood of increased wear. The invention provides longitudinally spaced support bars extending laterally across the opening in the directions of rotation of the rotors. The support bars have inner surfaces machined with the associated rotor cavity bores and thus smoothly support the seals as they ride over the support surfaces. The support reduces the flexing of the seals and the resultant wear.

Further, the number of teeth of the outer gear is made odd, and the number of teeth of the inner gears is made even.

Abstract: A rotary positive displacement engine includes one or more power rotors, which are acted upon by a pressurized charge of gas, such as steam, and an annular barrier rotor geared for synchronous rotation with the power rotors. The rotors rotate within intersecting cylindrical bores in the engine housing. The power rotors have cylindrical outer surfaces from which opposed vanes extend which are acted upon by the powering charge. The barrier rotor has an outer cylindrical surface, located in close proximity to the cylindrical surface of the power rotors, and ports for delivering the powering charge to the power rotors. The barrier rotor thus forms both a charge delivery mechanism and a barrier between the exhaust ports and the expanding gas powering the engine. Located within the barrier rotor is a stator which has ports in fluid communication with the ports in the barrier rotor when the respective ports are aligned.

Abstract: Methods of sealing a planetary rotor engine, and the resulting seals, are described which improve the engine's efficiency and solves each of three main problem areas. A first method and resulting dynamic seal for sealing the rotor face surfaces as they translate across one another to constantly reform the contact between each other includes the key step of moving the shaft centerlines of each of the rotors, thereby radially positioning the rotors along diametric axes at positions which compensate for varying thermodynamic conditions (e.g. thermal expansion or contraction of rotor materials). A second method and resulting dynamic seal for effectively minimizing leakage between the end space formed between the rotor end and the case includes the key step of introducing a surface depression of any shape on one, or both, of the rotor end and opposing casing, thereby eliminating the need for a frictional seal and, in essence, forming a pressure wave plug.

Abstract: A scroll-type machine is disclosed which is particularly well suited for use as a compressor in refrigeration and air conditioning systems and incorporates a unique arrangement for modulating the capacity thereof. In one group of embodiments the capacity of the scroll-type machine is modulated by relative axial movement between the scroll members so as to form a leakage path across the wrap tips and opposed end plates. In another group of embodiments, modulation is achieved by reducing the orbital radius of one of the scroll members to thereby form a leakage path across the flank surfaces of the wraps. Both types of scroll separation may be accomplished in a time pulsed manner to thereby enable a full range of modulation with the duration of the loading and unloading periods being selected to maximize the efficiency of the overall system.

If a correspondingly largeplay is provided between the shaft and the pinion, the hollow gear is mounted with minimum play in the housing. The pinion is then mounted in the hollow gear.

The pump includes variable offset transmission means (52a, 50a, 48a, 54a) to change the offset of the center of the piston from the center of rotation of the piston during the course of each rotation to allow the pistons (16a, 16b) to remain in mutual tangential contact at all times.

Abstract: A rotor unit comprises an inner rotor and an outer rotor having different number of teeth, with the inner and the outer rotor being mounted on eccentric shafts to be driven for rotation at different speeds. The volume efficiency is improved by producing a clearance between the external surface of the outer rotor and the inner surface of the housing so that the clearance changes from the axial center to either end so that the magnitude of the clearance is reduced during a high speed rotation when a centrifugal force is effective. Projections are formed on the opposite ends of the outer rotor to reduce the volume of a waste space which is defined between the inner and the outer rotor.
