This invention relates to improvements in engines of the reciprocating piston type, especially reciprocating piston internal combustion engines suitable for stationary and non-stationary uses. The pistons of the engine are operatively connected to the drive shaft of the engine via an elongated gear-roller gear pinion mechanism. In association with a cylinder-piston unit of the engine there is provided a roller gear pinion, engaged with the drive shaft such that rotation thereof rotates the drive shaft. An elongated roller gear is pivotally connected via an end to a piston, and the opposite open end of said elongated roller gear is meshed with the roller gear pinion. The elongated roller gear is guided through a path via appropriate mechanism which maintains continuous contact between said gears such that reciprocation of the piston within a cylinder produces rotation of the drive shaft. The invention also relates to an improved metering device for the introduction of air, or a mixture of fuel and air into the engine.

In a reciprocating piston engine wherein there is included the combination of one or more pistons individually reciprocably mounted each within a cylinder, an intake valve located within a cylinder through which fuel and air can be admitted into the cylinder, compressed and the fuel burned to drive a piston during a power stroke, an exhaust valve located within a cylinder through which burned fuel can be exhausted by movement of a piston to expell the burned gases during an exhaust stroke, a piston having a crown side and a side opposite said crown side to which a piston shaft is attached, the crown side of the piston facing into the cylinder wherein said intake and exhaust valves are located, an elongated roller gear to which said piston shaft is attached, the elongated roller gear is open centered and has an inside face thereof provided with a continuous array of teeth, a drive shaft, a roller gear pinion operatively engaged with said drive shaft, rotation of which produces rotation of said drive shaft, said roller gear pinion being provided with a continuous array of teeth for continuous meshing engagement with the teeth on the inside face of said elongated roller gear, movement of a piston acting through a piston shaft and elongated roller gear producing rotation of said drive shaft via action upon roller gear pinion, the improvement comprising, in said combination, a pair of rails, one each of which is disposed on opposite sides of the teeth of said elongated roller gear, a pair of rollers, one each of which is disposed on opposite sides adjacent and parallel to said the teeth of roller gear pinion, the rollers of the roller gear pinion contacting and rolling along the rails of said elongated roller gear to maintain a proper relationship and root clearance between the meshing teeth of an elongated roller gear and a roller gear pinion for effecting the continuous rolling and meshing engagement, a pair of guide bar roller shafts, spaced apart, in-line and mounted in bearings upon the engine in generally parallel orientation with the drive shaft on alternately disposed sides of the elongated roller gear and roller gear pinion, a guide bar mounted on the elongated roller gear on a side thereof faced toward said pair of guide bar roller shafts, the guide bar engaging the pair of guide bar roller shafts, such that reciprocating movement of the elongated roller gear produced by reciprocation of the piston within a cylinder produces a rocking movement of the elongated roller gear through a path about which said guide bar moves around said pair of roller bar guide shafts to maintain continuous rolling and meshing contact between said elongated roller gear and roller gear pinion, and rotation of the drive shaft.
