Abstract: An oil pump having an inner rotor with of external teeth; an outer rotor that is eccentrically provided and has internal teeth that mesh with the inner rotor external teeth, and an oil pump body that accommodates the outer and inner rotors. By rotationally driving the inner rotor to increase and decrease a space between the internal and the external teeth, an intake stroke suctions hydraulic oil from the oil pump body and a discharge stroke discharges the suctioned hydraulic oil to a discharge port formed in the oil pump body. Between the intake and discharge strokes, a confinement stroke cuts off the suctioned hydraulic oil and confines the suctioned hydraulic oil in the space, and a compression stroke reduces the space and compresses the confined hydraulic oil. Further, an interval is set between a finish end portion of the intake port of the oil pump body and a start end portion of the discharge port such that a rotation angle of the inner rotor during the compression stroke is 21 to 27 degrees.

Abstract: A counter-rotating rotary-piston engine has an output shaft with a cylindrical inner cavity rotatably mounted on a single support spindle in the frame of an aircraft. The output shaft extends substantially through the length of the engine block, which is suitably journaled on the shaft or the spindle to permit its counter-rotation. Internal combustion power is transmitted to the output shaft by means of an inner rotary piston fixed to the shaft which cooperates in conventional manner with an outer working chamber in the engine block, thereby producing concurrent rotation of the shaft and counter-rotation of the engine block. Dual propellers mounted on the shaft and on the block improve thrust performance, balance the torques and moments of inertia of the two counter-rotating masses, and virtually eliminate any resultant torque to the aircraft.

Abstract: The present invention provides a rotary compressor capable of significantly reducing the loss attributable to mechanical friction. Since an outer rotor 2 is connected via connecting plates 4 to an inner rotor 3, when the outer rotor 2 is rotated by external rotational force, the inner rotor 3 can rotate together with the outer rotor 2 in the same direction. At that time, the rotors 2 and 3 rotate at positions offset relative to each other so that partition pieces 2d on the outer rotor 2 perform circular movement within partition grooves 3b in the inner rotor 3 while turning the connecting plates 4. Thus, the rotors 2 and 3 rotate together, with at least two partition pieces 2d turning all the time along the inner surfaces of the associated partition grooves 3b in a non-contact manner, so that a fluid from an inflow port 1d flows into a space between the rotors 2 and 3 partitioned by the partition pieces 2d and the partition grooves 3b, the fluid being discharged through an outflow port 1e.

Abstract: A positive displacement machine with planetary motion and hypertrochoidal geometry, including an enclosure arrangement essentially constituted by a cylindrical piston (11), and a cylindrical enclosure (10) and by a third device in rotoidal connection with this piston and this enclosure, characterized in that the directrix of the piston or of the enclosure is hypertrochoidal or uniformly distant from a hypertrochoid. The machine can carry any type of fluid and can convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy or vice versa, depending on the nature of the distribution selected for assuring the admission and escape of the fluid. This admission may furthermore be adjustable, to assure a variation in the displacement. For well-chosen geometries, the direct contact between the enclosure and the piston may be used to create the relative motion between the piston and the enclosure and to make it unnecessary to use a separate transmission.

Abstract: A positive displacement pump is particularly adapted for corrosive, abrasive and viscous liquids. It employs a combination of orbital and nodding movements provided by a unique mechanism. A rotor member, mounted eccentrically on a drive shaft, fits closely within a pumping chamber which it drives in an orbital path along an inclined plate having fluid inlet and outlet ports. The resultant cyclic increase and decrease in volume of the chamber beneath the rotor member draws in fluid and discharges it under pressure. For fluids of greater viscosity (or where reduced flow rate is desired) the angle of tilt is reduced, without lessening the power afforded for pumping.
