In=the-oonstruotion of the device as "shoivnjy the numerals-10, 'l1/designate: mating halvesv of a crankease .andy said 4hal-ves 'are' formed,
with projeetingg#registering, apeitiiredA ears 12 13' adaptedvto v be` securedtoget-heif lby screw boltsfl. Thef memberslO, 111'of the crank case are'formedv with ,siiitalolelbeare ings for aieranlzshaft 15 extendingtrans-y versely: theretlirough.'r An outer Cylinder 16 is formed on and projects from one (open) side of the erankease and is closed at its oppositeend, b v a head; 17 secured in place by screw' bolts v18. i An innercylinder 19V isformed' with the head 17 is'mounted coneentrieallyfof' and; Within the cylinder l-andf extends towardy the crank case 10, 11.
The head'fl?y isformed With a eentralpriming and startin'g:l connection.l such` as lati-20 openingy to, the chamber 21,:inolo'sed yby the head endv of'f-theinner cylinder 19 ;y andwvith diametri'c'ally; opposite ports; 22,. 23 adaptedk fon the' reception oit spark#l plugs* (notshown). vThe spark plug portsrZQ, QS/open to the annulan Chamber leetiveenfthe'innery Whichf iss approxima'tely:l twieethat ofi the 26 so as Vto provide a slight, clearance at each former chamber. A circumferential gain 26 is cut in the outer wall ofthe cylinder 19 at the outer ends of the ports and a split .valve ring 27 is mounted in said gain and normally closes said ports. The valve ring 27 `which preferably extends nearly but not quite around the cylinder 19, is adapted for` outward radial movement underv pressure.
It preferably is'beveled at its inner edgesl and is of slightly less -width than the gain side. Stop pins'28 are fixed to the inner' face of the head 17 just outside the cylinder` 19, project inwardlyfrom said head and are adapted to limit radial-movement of the valve ring 27.
A variable speed piston Ais composed of four concentric sections, the `two inner sections 29, 30 being within the cylinder 19 and the two outer sections 'being between the cylinders 19 and 16.L The inmost piston f sectionV 29, which vis of trunk form and slightlytapering, is formed with a solid or imperforate head 29a. The-other piston sections, 30, 31, 32 are of generally cylindrical form,v and the sections 30 and 32, which are the outinost in their .respective chambers, are comparatively short relative to the sections 29 andV 31. kThe piston headf29a is beveled on its 'periphery and is adapted to fit tightly within the oppositely beveled annular head 31, 32 have oppositely beveled annular heads adapted to lit together at'ltimes yto form a tight j oint-y and` solid head1` completely closing the annular chamber 24.,:,.1The"piston sectionsr30,f31,32 are provided with' pack- Y screwed into radial lugs 41 "on the outermost ing rings`p301, 31a, 32a-engaging therespective walls of the cylinders 19v and 16. A cy- 'lindricalshoe' 33 isfmounted outside the inmos't piston section 29 beh/ind thehead 29a and is `fixed to said section by spaced radial lugs 34, in this instance four in number, .and said Vshoe engages Vthe inner Vsurface of the piston section 30slidinglyv and centers the section 29 and prevents ,undesirable 'oscillation thereof. A web 35-is lfixed to 'and' projects from' the cranken'd of theinmostpiston section 29"and is connected Vto the crank en'diof the section 31,beyond the end of the' inner Vcylinderq19,'by means of screws 36.
The piston section 31 is alsoformed with an outwardly projecting annular shoe 37 at its i crank endengaging the inner surface of the outer cylinder 16 and provided with 39 is .fixed to and'projects from the crank endof the piston section 30 and is connected to operating devices as hereinafter described.
Operating rods 40, in. this instance four in number, are threaded at Vtheir ends and Y piston section 32, extend toward theicrank` case 10, 11, and `pass slidingly through bearings inthe piston shoe y37 of the adjacent section 31. TheY ends ofthe operatingfrods 40 v pass through `end portions of convex plates 42 which are two in number and spacedV apart transversely in the rear end portion of the cylinder 19. The ends of the operating rods 40 are threaded Vand adjusting nuts 43, 44 are screwed thereon on opposite sides of the convex plates 42 and may be employed tocompensate for wear. Y
A wrist pin 45 is fixed to the throw of the crank shaft 15. and a pitman 46 is formed witha suitable bearing' (preferably secured.
by screw bolts 46a) at'one end pivotally engaging said wrist pin.V Theopposite end of the pitman. 46 is formed with a suitable bearing pivotally engaging a piston or ygudgeon'pin 47 mountedin the crank end of the inmost piston section 29. A lug 48 is formed on and projects inwardradially from the connectingr rod 39fanda leaf spring 49 is fixed at one end .to and carried` by -saidlug. Theopposite end portionof the spring 49 is received loosely between converging thumbsvor lugs 50,51 on theV endportion of the pitman-46 adjacent the ,piston pin 47.
rIIhe thumb or lug 51 'is of materially greater n length than the thumb or. lug 50 and is iii- YAclined land arranged so as to bear attimes against the spring 49 adjacent the .point of attachment'thereof to the lug-48.VV The arrangementofthe thumbs or lugs 50, 51 isv such that slightly before 'the endv ofi-eachV upstroke(the wristipin being about 15 degrees below center) 'a Vpressure is Vapplied Y Y by the thumb 51 against `the spring 49 and Y lug'48 tothe end ofincreasing the speed of 1 the pistonsection30, whichnormally is "reciprocated with the section 29, and ,causing said section 30 to pass beyond the'section 29,
and to lag behind said section 29 on the rey turn stroke;'and at the end of the stroke the thumbv or lug 50 acts through the spring 49,
lugf48 and Vconnecting' rod 39 to increase the speedL of the piston section 30 and cause said` sectionk to'overtake andV again travel with the section *'29, forming la solid or compressing head. The pitman 46 is formed with a 'Y centrallongitudinal bore at its crank end in which is mounted a plunger V*bolt 52.` The pitman 46 also; is forked Vat its crankend,
as shown in Fig. V5, and a cam 53 is xedto the wrist pin. 45 within said fork and is adapted'to engage and reciprocate the plun- 'ger bolt 52 vvat times. A`pin5`4 is fixed in the packing rings 38.
