| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7334558 | Slide body internal combustion engine An internal combustion engine includes a slide body having a plurality of rigidly mounted pistons on opposite ends of the slide body. The slide body reciprocates and is connected to a flywheel by shaft and bearing which extends through an angled track in the slide b... | 02/26/2008 |
| 7201133 | Internal combustion engine having dual piston cylinders and linear drive arrangement A device for transforming an alternating motion of a piston into a circular motion of a shaft is provided. The device includes an assembly of two pistons connected by two racks alternatively in mesh with a toothed cam set on a shaft. Movement in one direction of the... | 04/10/2007 |
| 6904888 | Reciprocating piston device A reciprocating piston engine (or motor) includes plural reciprocating pistons operatively connected to a single intermediate oscillating shaft, and a crankshaft having a single crank pin operatively connected to the oscillating shaft, so that the crankshaft experie... | 06/14/2005 |
| 6223612 | Flywheel motor transmission Motion of an apparatus having reciprocal linear motion of an input member is converted into alternating rotary motion of a drive member such as a drive shaft or a drive gear. Additionally, a system is taught which uses linear motion, oscillating motion an... | 05/01/2001 |
| 5025759 | Lever-type two-cycle internal combustion engine An internal combustion engine having paired opposed power cylinders, and a lever system interconnecting the pistons of the opposed power cylinders with each other and with a crankshaft. The lever system for each pair of cylinders includes the piston rods ... | 06/25/1991 |
| 4708099 | Crankless reciprocating internal combustion engine Present reciprocating engines have limitations on their thermal efficiency and horsepower to weight performance imposed by the crankshaft. Elimination of the crankshaft, use of a full time turbocharger and ceramic lining of cylinder walls, cylinder and pi... | 11/24/1987 |
| 4658768 | Engine To reduce space requirements, vibrations and certain stresses in an engine, a different one of two pistons is mounted on each end of a single piston rod to which the crankshaft is attached by a cylindrical shaped connector that orbits around the crankpin ... | 04/21/1987 |
| 4543919 | Engine To reduce space requirements, vibrations and certain stresses in an engine, a different one of two pistons is mounted on each end of a single piston rod to which the crankshaft is attached by a cylindrical shaped connector that orbits around the crankpin ... | 10/01/1985 |
| 4381739 | Cam internal combustion engine In an internal combustion engine, a combination of cylinders, pistons, rods, beams, gears and cams that are used for converting the reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotary motion of the drive shaft. One embodiment includes a block member that is f... | 05/03/1983 |
| 3999523 | Internal combustion engine An opposed piston engine includes pistons mounted at opposite ends of a piston rod which is pivotally coupled to one end of a rocker arm coupling the piston rod to a connecting rod in turn coupled to an eccentric drive mechanism. The rocker arm is pivotal... | 12/28/1976 |
