page_text: I, WILLY ADTORF, Butcher, of Bonn on the Rhine, Markt 24, in the Province
of Rhineland, and Kingdom of Prussia, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:
+
The present invention concerns an improvement in the motors worked by the
explosion of gases of any kind or by mixtures, of gas. for instance, gas, petroleum,
benzine motors, and the like.
The new motor is represented in the accompanying drawing in Fig. 1 in a side
view and longitudinal section through the cylinder, in Fig. 2 in a view from above,
with a similar section of the cylinder, and in Fig. 3 in a cross-section to the
line of Fig. 1 through a detail:
The improvement, as compared with motors of this kind known up to the
present, consists essentially in the force of the explosion being simultaneously
transferred to two or more moveable pistons, instead of, as at present, to only
one:

The motion of all the pistons which are driven in different directions by the
blow of the gases acting in the first moment of the explosion with full force and
at the same time on all surfaces or sides of the explosive chamber, is transferred
by means of suitable rods and other parts of machinery to an axle from which
the power is further transmitted and received or kept alive by a fly-wheel.
The simplest form of such a motor is that shown in the accompanying drawing,
in which the gas explosion is supposed to act on two" pistons simultaneously;
but it goes without saying that besides these two or more other pistons working
at right angles or vertically to these two pistons can be used after the cylinder has
been built of a suitable shape and the necessary gearing supplied.
In the form of motor as shown in the drawing the explosion takes place nearly
in the centre of the length of the cylinder in the space A, so that the pistons B
and B1 which enclose this space from two opposite sides and which are guided
air-tight in the cylinder, are hurled apart in opposite direction.
One of these pistons is by means of the rod C connected directly to the crank D
of the main crank axle W, while the other piston B1 engages the cranks D1
of the same main shaft W by means of the rod C 1, the cross-head E and the rods F
which are connected to both sides of E. The cranks D1 are arranged in an
opposite direction to that of the crank D, all cranks however projecting in the
same length from the axis of the shaft W.
The cross-head E which moves between the rails I, the arrangement of which
will be seen from the section Fig. 3, in connection with the views Figs. 1.and 2
and which are attached to the end of the cylinder. G and a trestle H serves as a
guide for the piston B 1.
It is clear that in these motors where the shock of the explosion acts upon both
pistons with equal force, the machine will have the same efficiency while con-

page_text: suming half the amount of gas, as the ordinary gas-motors, or, when consuming
the same amount of gas that their efficiency will be about double.

I, WILLY ADTORF, Butcher, of Bonn on the Rhine, Markt 24, in the Province
of Rhineland, and Kingdom of Prussia, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The present invention concerns an improvement in the motors worked by the
explosion of gas of any kind or by mixtures of gas, for instance, gas, petroleum,
benzine motors and the like.
The new motor is represented in the drawing filed with the Provisional Speci-
fication in Fig. 1 in a side view and longitudinal section through the cylinder,
in Fig. 2 in a view from above, with a similar section of the cylinder, and in
Fig. 3, in a cross-section to the line - of Fig. 1.
The improvement, as compared with motors of this kind known up to the
present, consists essentially in the force of the explosion being simultaneously
transferred to two or more moveable pistons, instead of, as at present, to only
one.
The motion of all pistons which are driven in different directions by the
blow of the gases acting in the first moment of the explosion with full force and
at the same time on all surfaces or sides of the explosion chamber, is transferred
by means of suitable rods and and other parts of machinery to an axle from which
the power is further transmitted and received or kept alive by a fly-wheel.
The simplest form of such a motor is that shown in the drawing, in which the
gas explosion is supposed to act on two pistons simultaneously; but it goes with-
out saying that besides these two or more other pistons working at right angles
or vertically to these two pistons can be used after the cylinder has been built
of a suitable shape and the necessary gearing supplied.
In the form of motor as shown in the drawing the explosion takes place nearly
in the centre of the length of the cylinder in the space A, so that the pistons B
and B1 which enclose this space from two opposite sides and which are guided
air-tight in the evlinder, are hurled apart in opposite direction.
One of these pistons is by means of the rod C connected directly to the crank D
of the main crank axle W, while the other piston B1 engages the cranks D1
of the same main shaft W by means of the rod C1, the cross-head E and the rods F
which are connected to both sides of E.
The cranks D1 are arranged in an opposite direction to that of the crank D
all cranks however projecting in the same length from the axis of the shaft W.
The cross-head E which moves between the rails I, the arrangement of which
will be seen from the section Fig. 3, in connection with the views Figs. 1 and 2
and which are attached to the end of the cylinder G and a trestle H serves as a
guide for the piston B 1.
It is clear that in these motors where the shock of the explosion acts upon both
pistons with equal force, the machine will have the same efficiency while con-
suming half the amount of gas, as the ordinary gas motors, or when consuming
the same amount of gas that their efficiency will be about double.

page_text: 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
Explosion motor thereby characterized that the shock of explosion takes effect
simultaneously on two or more pistons (B, B1 and so on) moving in different
directions but transmitting their motion by suitable gearing, jointly and in the
same direction on the same main driving axle W.
