fuel; a rotary compressor for compressing
said mixture to the point of ignition; a ro-
tary valve for receiving the products of com-
bustion from said compressor; a cylinder;
5 a piston in the sme; a shaft on which said
piston is mounted; connections between said
shaft and compressor; means for rotating
said valve front said shaft; a compressing
engine on said shaft; a port between said
10 valve and cylinder; and a passage between
said compressing engine and said valve for
delivering compressed air to said valve, sub-
stantially as described.
8. In a combined internal combustion and
15 air compressing machine, the combination of
a shaft; a plurality of pistons mounted on
said shaft; a plurality of cylinders sur-
rounding said pistons; an abutment in each
of said cylinders adapted to contact with
20 said pistons; a rotary valve for controlling
the admission of fluid under pressure to one
of said cylinders; connections between said
valve and said shaft; a passage above the
abutment in the other cylinder in which air
25 may be compressed; and a valved channel
connecting said passage with said rotary
valve, substantially as described.
9. In a combined'internal combustion and
air compressing machine the combination of
30 a shaft; a plurality of pistons mounted on
said shaft; a plurality of cylinders sur-
rounding said pistons; an abutment in each
of said cylinders adapted to contact with
said pistons; a rotary ;yalve for controlling
35 the admission of compressed. fluid to one of
said cylinders; connetions between said
valve and said shaft; ia passage above the
abutment in the other cylinder in which air
may be compressed; a spring controlled
40 valve above said passage; a pipe controlled
bysaid valve adapted to lead the said com-
pressed air to"'a point of storage; and a
valued channel connecting said passage with
said rotary valve, substantially as described.
45 10. In a combined internal combustion
and air compressing machine, the combina-
tion of a shaft; a plurality of pistons mount-
ed on said shaft; a plurality of cylinders
surrounding said pistons; an abutment in
50 each of said cylinders adapted to contact
with said pistons; a rotary valve for con-
trolling the adhnission of compressed fluid
to one of said cylinders; a compressing en-
gine adapted to deliver compressed fluid into
55 saidvalve; connections betweensaidvalve and
said shaft; connections between said shaft
and said compressing engine; a passage
above the abutment in the other cylinder in
which air may be compressed; and a valved
60 channel connecting said passage with said
rotary valve, substantially as described.
11. In a combined internal combustion
and air compressing machine, the combina-
tion of a cylinder; a piston; a shaft; a ro-
i5 tary valve driven by said shaft and con-trolling the admission of fluid to said cylin-
-der; an air compressing engine mounted on
said shaft and having a passage in which
the air may be compressed ; a valve above
said passage controlling the admission of 70
air to a reservoir; another valve in said pas-
sage controlling the admission of air to said
rotary valve; a pipe adapted to connect said
rotary valve and said reservoir; and a valve
controlling the admission of air through said 75
pipe, substantially as described.
12. In a combined internal combustion and
air compressing engine adapted to be mount-
ed on a vehicle, each provided with rotary
pistons mounted on a common shaft; a pipe so
adapted to lead compressed air .from said
compressing engine to a reservoir; a pipe
adapted to lead compressed air from said
reservoir to said internal combustion engine;
and means whereby the fuel of said engine 85
may be shut off when the vehicle is .running
down hill and the compressing engine per-
mitted to store up energy in said reservoir
through the momentum of said vehicle, sub-
stantially as described. 90
13. In a combined internal combustion and
air compressing engine adapted to be mount-
ed on. a vehicTe, each provided with rotary
pistons mounted on a common shaft; a
valved pipe adapted to lead compressed air 95
from said compressing engine to a reservoir;
a valved pipe adapted to lead compressed air
from said reservoir to said internal com-
bustion engine; a valved passage connecting
said compressing and combustion engines; 100
means for holding said passage closed at
will; and means whereby the fuel of said
engine may be shut off when the vehicle is
running down hill and the compressing en-
gine permitted to act as a brake and to store 105
up energy in said reservoir through. the mo-
mentum of said vehicle, substantially as de-
scribed.
14. In a combined internal combustion and
air compressing engine adapted to be mount- 110
ed on a vehicle, the combination of a valve
163 with which said combustion engine is
provided; a passage 199 with which said
compressing engine is provided; a channel
203 with which both engines are provided 115
and adapted to connect said valve with said
passage 199; a common shaft on which each
engine is mounted; means adapted to store
up compressed air leading from said com-
pressing engine; a valve associated with said 120
means; means for opening said valve; and
means for shutting off the fuel supply of
said combustion engine, whereby when the
vehicle is running down hill, said valve may
be opened and said compressor used -as a 125
brake for said engine, substantially as de-
scribed.
15. In a combined internal combustion and
air compressing engimle adapted to be mount-
ed on a vehicle, a common shaft on which 130
