Abstract: 20,604. Gilsbach, C. Sept. 3. Movable-abutment type; working-fluid supply. -In a rotary engine of the geared-vane type a piston k revolves at a constant speed, while an abutment i revolves at a variable speed determined by the action of a cam u upon a system of levers w, p, o connected to the abutment. The invention is shown applied to an internal - combustion engine. The explosive mixture enters at x. The abutment thereupon moves faster than the piston until the relative positions are as shown by dotted lines, thereby compressing the mixture. A sparking-plug at y explodes the charge, and the spent gases are exhausted at z. A spring-pressed trigger m engages notches 1 in the outer casing at the instant of explosion, thereby receiving the backward shock imparted to the abutment. A spring t absorbs the shock of the leverage system when it reaches the extreme backward position. A modification is described in which the trigger m is dispensed with and the cam u is hinged so as to absorb backward shock.
