WARD RISLEY, OF JACKSBORO, TEXAS, ASSIGNOR, BY DIRECT AND MESNE ASSIGN-
MENTS, OF ONE-HALF.TO ZEPH L. RISLEY, OF JACKSBORO, TEXAS.
INTERNAL-COMBUSTION AND AIR--COMPRESSING ENGINE.
937,717. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Oct. 19, 1909.
Application filed November 3, 1908. Serial No. 460,824.To all whom it may. concern:
Be it known that I, WARD RISLEY, a citi-
zen of the United States, residing at Jacks-
boro, in the county of Jack and State of
5 Texas, have invented certain new and use-
ful Improvements in Internal - Combustion
and Air-Compressing Engines; and I do
hereby declare the following to be a full,
clear, and exact description of the invention,
10 such as will enable others skilled in the art
to which it appertains to make and use the
same.
This invention relates to a combined ro-
tary internal combustion engine and an air
15 compressor adapted to' supply air to said
engine under pressure, and has for its ob-
ject the production of a machine which will
ignite its fuel by the heat of' compression,
which, may be readily reversed through en-
20 ergy stored up by the air compressor; and
one which will be certain and simple- in op-
eration and comparatively cheap to con-
struct.
With these and other objects in view the
25 invention consists in the novel details of con-
struction and combinations of parts more
fully hereinafter disclosed and particularly
pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the accompanying drawings
30 forming a part of this specification in which
like numerals refer to like parts in all the
views:--Figure 1, is a plan view of the com-
bined engine and compressor. Fig. 2, is a
longitudinal sectional view of the combined
35 machines on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, looking
in the direction of the arrow 2'. Fig. 3, an
end elevational view of the combined ma-
chines looking in the direction of the arrow
3' in Fig. 1. Fig. 4, is a cross sectional
40 view of the.engine on the line 4-4 of Fig.
2. Fig. 5, an end elevational view of the
combined machines looking in a direction
opposite to ih)t of the arrow 3' in Fig. 1.
Fig. 6, a crc sectional view of the com-
45 pressor on th 'ne 6-6 of Fig. 1. Fig. 7,
a detail end elevation of the abutment, and
Fig. 8, a cross section of the same on the
line 8-8 of Fig. 7.
150 represents a suitable casting provided
50 with the cylinder 151, through which passes
.the shaft 152, on which is eccentrically
mounted the piston 153, provided with the
spring pressed packing bar 154.
155 and 156 represent exhaust pipes, com-municating with the exhaust ports 157 and 55
158 respectively, which are controlled by the
valves 159 and 160, as shown.
161 represents an abutment more fully de-
scribed below, 162 and 163 continuously ro-
tating admission valves, 164 and 165 contin- 60
uously rotating compression pistons operat-
ing in the cylinders 166 and 167 respectively,
and provided with the pivoted abutments
168 and 169, as shown. These cylinders 166
and 167, their pistons 164 and 165 and their 65
associated parts constitute duplicate com-
pression engines for the fuel supplies. Be-
tween the cylinders 166 and 167 and the cor-
responding valves 162 and 163 are respec-
tively the ports 170 and 171. 70
172 and 173 represent passages for the ad-
mission of a suitable fuel, such as gasolene
or other hydrocarbon or combustible; -174
and 175 represent corresponding valves to
control said fuel, and 176 and 177 are. valves 75
to regulate the admission of air at atmos-
pheric pressure into the suction sides of the
respective compression cylinders 166 and 167.
Referring now more particularly to Figs.
1, 2 and 3, on the shaft 152 is mounted the 80
pinion 178, into which meshes the two pin-
ions 179 and 180, mounted respectively on
the valve stems 181 and 182 of the valves
163 and 162. Also mounted on these valve
stems respectively are the pinions 183 and 85
184, which mesh with the corresponding pin-
ions 185 and 186 rigidly secured to exten-
sions 187 and 188 of the compressing pistons
165 and 164 respectively.
The operation of the engine so far de. 90
scribed is as follows:'-Fuel being admitted
through the passage 173 and air admitted
past the valve 177 into the compression cyl-
inder 167,.if the shaft 152 and main piston
153 is rotated by outside power the pinion 95
178 on said shaft will rotate the pinion 1D;
thereby rotating the valve 163 and through
the pinions 183 and 185 and the extension
187 will also rotate the compressor piston
165, which will thereupon compress said air 100
and fuel in the port 171. This port registers
with the port 189 in the admission valve 163,
see Fig. 4, but does not register with any of
the rows of perforations 190, 190', 190',
190"', etc., in the valve 163, Figs. 2 and 4. 104
The said perforations, however, are adapted
to register with the port 191 leading into the
cylinder 151, as best shown in Fig. 2. The
