Title: Improvements in Rotary Engines
Inventor: KASSUBEK CARL
Filed: 1906-01-19
Granted: 1906-07-26
Abstract: 1466. Kassubek, C. Jan. 19. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Movable-abutment type.-A reversing.valve connects with the annular chamber either an admission passage 1 or an admission passage 2, and couples the exhaust passages 3, b or 4, b<1>. The steam from the pipe p is admitted to the annular chambers through passages controlled by lift valves m, m<1> and valve heads on the abutments e, e<1>. In the direction of rotation shown in the Figures, as the piston passes the exhaust passage 3, the rush of steam closes the valve m. The diminished pressure enables the spring f to raise the abutment e. The piston r then uncovers a passage s admitting steam from the passage p. The space beneath the piston r communicates by a passage n with the working chamber. When the entrance of the passage n is covered by the piston, the pressure beneath the piston r increases and assists the spring f in lifting the piston. At the same time, steam leaking through a hole l in the valve m accumulates above the valve until the valve falls by its own weight. The travel of the valves m, m<1> can be limited to govern the speed by means of screws k, k<1>.

The boss 1 is secured to the shaft 19 by a key and nut 3 or otherwise, is provided with flats on its periphery adjoining the outer collars, and is preferably laterally divided in halves. The movement of the sleeve 13 relatively to the boss 1 is effected in the case of small propellers by handgear, and in the case of large propellers by a direct-acting or other engine. This movement causes the rotation of the shanks 8 in sockets in the boss 1, these sockets being preferably enlarged at 6 to receive collars 7 on the shanks, and, when three blades are used, are spaced at angles of approximately 120 degrees around the boss. When a solid shaft is used, the movement of the sleeve is effected by a ring, loosely fitted in an annular recess in its forward end and provided with trunnions fitted with links secured to a lever on the reversing-shaft. In a modification, the propeller boss is caused to travel relatively to the sleeve by moving the propeller shaft, the ring being then suitably connected to the stern post or other convenient part of the stern.
