FIG. 3 Shows sectional view numbers 2-2; refer to ref. no.s 2 (cam portion only), 6, 7, 8 and 13. Note: This device is shown in a simple form to best illustrate its function to offer resistance to power stroke and force the other 3 cycles.
FIG. 4 Shows sectional view number 3-3, refer to ref. no.s 1, 3, 5, 9, 10 and 13, showing how connecting rods extend through slots in the restraining plates and the rectangular area between slots where excess material has been removed.
FIG. 5A Shows sectional view number 44, refer to ref. no.s 1, 3, 4, 12, 13, 14 and 15, a longitudinal section through the center of the engine; showing how the connecting rods are restrained by the restraining hub lubricant reservoir, showing exhaust and intake ports, showing cylinder and piston alignment and showing threaded spacer bars.
FIG. 5B Assigns reference no.s to FIG. 5As' elements and has a bracketed view of element ref.no.15.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Engine is a 4 cycle internal combustion engine with rotating cylinders (5), restraining ring (3), connecting rods (13), restraining plates (10), restraining hub (12), spacer bars (15), power shaft (10), cams (2) and cam rollers (8) (Refer to FIG. 2B and FIG. 5B), with the motion of the connecting rods restrained to those parallel to the longitudinal centerline of the cylinders and perpendicular to the power shaft by slots in the restraining plate (2) and by the restraining hub (12) (refer to FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 4), That a) completes 4 cycles each cylinder each revolution b) has ports in the cylinder head for the escape of exhaust gases and the intake of fuel-air mixtures (refer to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B) c) has cams (2) that resist the force of the power stroke resulting in the rotation of the cylinders (5), connecting rods (13), connecting plates (10), spacer bars (15), seals (14), compression rings (14), restraining plates (10) and power shaft (10) (refer to FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 3 and FIG. 5B) d) has cams (2 )that force the exhaust, intake and compression cycles (refer to FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 3). Manufacturing of the engine components and the assembly of the same is substantially the same as those for existing engines.
