Improvements in Engines, Motors, and Pumps.
I, MOSES JAMES ADAMS, Engineer, Peasholme Bridge, York, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
My improvements consist in the mode of applying the motive force, the form of
rotary engine or motor adopted for that work and the general arrangement of
machinery and parts as explained herein and shewn by accompanying drawings.
I provide a circular cylinder having a piston revolving within it, the piston being
so connected with the main shaft that motion is imparted thereto by the forward or
backward movement of the piston. I provide a slide, stop or valve, which shall
as frequently as may be desirable close or partially close the open way of cylinder.
This valve is worked by suitable connections from the engine or motor, and its
closing or opening is regulated according to requirements.
The piston being in the position shewn by drawings with the slide or valve
closed and a pressure of steam gas air water or other suitable power being admitted
within the space formed on the one part by the slide or valve and on the other by
the piston see drawing Fig. 2 (space marked K) motion is imparted to the piston which
travels round ultimately arriving at the under side of slide or valve C. The said
slide or valve now opens allowing the piston to pass, the motive pressure again acts
on the piston which continues to revolve driving out before it through suitable
openings H the spent forces of power. As shewn by drawings the engine or motor
is adapted for use as a gas engine the mixture of air and gas being fed by the pump E
through valve D into the space K-here it is fired by ignition through a suitable
slide or other form of contact, the piston B travelling forward as described and
the products of combustion being expelled through the exhaust opening H. The
valve or slide C is actuated by eccentric on main shaft. As a steam air or water
motor or engine the pump E may be dispensed with the pressure being applied
at D the valve working as before. As a pump for forcing or lifting liquid
motion is given to the piston. D will be the suction and H the outlet pipes on
reference to my drawings.
A is the cylinder B piston C slide or valve D inlet E gas pump E¹ and
F eccentrics actuating C and gas pump and ignition slide H exhaust.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
CLAIMS.
1st. In an engine or motor actuated by the ignition or explosion of suitable gas
or vapor the combination of a rotary piston with valve slide or back stop or
equivalent between which and the piston the motive pressure is applied.
2nd. The use of a pump or its equivalent supplying gas air or other suitable
matter or mixture to the cylinder of a rotary engine in combination with the
cylinder of a rotary engine or motor.
3rd. The use of a stop valve or slide in combination with the travelling piston
of a rotary engine or motor.
1+h The ca of the

page_text: 5th. The general arrangement of machinery and its parts as shewn and described
herein or their equivalent though differing in conformity substantially the same.
