PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Rotating Petroleum Motors.
I, OSCAR BRÜNLER, of Eutritzsch-Leipzig, Braustrasse 15 in the Empire of
Germany, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of the present invention is a petroleum motor the cylinders and
pistons of which are rotating round a stationary crank, as illustrated by the
enclosed drawing.
In this drawing,is
Fig. 1a longitudinal section and Fig. 2 a transverse section of the gasifying
contrivance.
Fig. 3 is the longitudinal section of a somewhat modified construction of the
gasifying contrivance and
Fig. 4 is partly the view and partly the section of the motor.
The crank n, on which the body containing the cylinder turns, is rigidly
connected with the frame k. The gas-mixture is conveyed to the cylinders through
the passages g' in the body 1, these passages g¹ turning before the passages g of the
gasifying-contrivance.
with
The gasification is effected when the valve is opened, the latter being lifted at.
the beginning of the suction-period, and drawing in the air through the tube e and
the air catching-basin f. In Figures 1 & 2 the sucked air-current meets at
some petroleum which is pressed in through the tube a, and sprays it through the
nozzle c into the gasificator d. Through opening the valve h, the petroleum con-
verted into gas is drawn with the air into the passage 9, and from there into
passage g', whereupon it enters the cylinder. In the latter it is ignited at the :
compression, by an igniting tube or by some other means of ignition.
With the construction illustrated by Fig. 3, when the air is sucked in consequence
of the opening of the valve h, some petroleum is spurted through the bent tube a¹
into the gasificator d.
The burnt gases escape through the valve i and the passage m into the space o
of the body which acts as a sound-catcher.
The moisture- and graphite-particles carried along by the by-gases, serve to
grease the parts enclosed by this sound catcher, and working on each other. The
by-gases then escape through the hollow arm of the crank n.
It is evident, that as in all rotating motors, also the cylinders may be stationary
and the crank may rotate.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Rotating Petroleum Motors.
I, OSCAR BRÜNLER of Eutritzsch-Leipzig, Germany, Engineer do hereby
O 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:-
The object of the present invention is a petroleum motor the cylinders and
pistons of which are rotating round a stationary crank, as illustrated by the
enclosed drawing.

page_text: In this drawing is
Fig. 1 a longitudinal section and Fig. 2 a transverse section of the gasifying
contrivance.
Fig. 3 is the longitudinal section of a somewhat modified construction of the
gasifying contrivance and
Fig. 4 is partly the view and partly the section of the motor.
The crank n, on which the body 1 containing the cylinder turns, is rigidly
connected with the frame k. The gas-mixture is conveyed to the cylinders through
the passages g in the body 1, these passages g' turning before the passages g of the
gasifying-contrivance.
The gasification is effected when the valve h is opened, the latter being lifted at
the beginning of the suction-period, and drawing in the air through the tube e and
the air-catching-basin f. In Figures 1 & 2 the sucked air-current meets at b with
some petroleum which is pressed in through the tube a, and sprays it through the
nozzle c into the gasificator d. Through opening the valve h, the petroleum
converted into gas is drawn with the air into the passage g, and from there into
passage g', whereupon it enters the cylinder. In the latter it is ignited at the
compression by an igniting tube or by some other means of ignition.
With the construction illustrated by Fig. 3, when the air is sucked, in consequence
of the opening of the valve h, some petroleum is spurted through the bent tube a¹
into the gasificator d.
The burnt gases escape through the valve i and the passage m into the space o
of the body which acts as a sound-catcher.
The moisture- and graphite-particles carried along by the gases, serve to grease
the parts enclosed by this sound catcher, and working on each other. The by-gases
then escape through the hollow arm of the crank n.
It is evident, that as in all rotating motors, also the cylinders may be stationary
and the crank may rotate.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :
1.) A petroleum-motor the cylinders and pistons of which are rotating round a
stationary crank; having the passages g¹ which are closed by the valve h, these
passages turning before the passages g of the gasifying-contrivance, whereat,
during the suction-period, air and gas is drawn into the cylinders which are
arranged in the rotating body I substantially as set forth.
2.) The arrangement of the sound-catcher o, inside the body l, as described.
Dated this 20th day of May 1893.
