Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for converting electrical energy into rotary motion for performing work, such as driving a wheeled vehicle. The apparatus includes a plurality of electromagnetic solenoids with the core of each solenoid being eccentrically connected to a driving gear which meshes with a driven gear carried by a drive shaft to gain a mechanical advantage and cause rotation of the drive shaft. The solenoids are energized sequentially to cause continuous rotation of the drive shaft.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
An electromagnetic motor for converting electrical energy into rotary motion comprising a body, a plurality of electromagnetic means mounted in said body, each of said electromagnetic means having a movable core, each of said cores being swingably connected to one end of independent link means, drive gear means spaced from each of said electromagnetic means, the opposite end of each of said link means being eccentrically pivoted to oNe of said drive gear means, said drive gear means being rotatably mounted on stub shafts disposed along a common axis, a drive shaft spaced from and generally parallel to the axes of said stub shafts, a plurality of driven gear means fixed to said drive shaft and meshing with said drive gear means, and distributor means associated with said body for sequentially operating said electromagnetic means, whereby at least one of said electromagnetic means is energized at any one time to cause rotation of said driving gear means to drive said driven gear and said drive shaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
166 words
An electromagnetic motor for converting electrical energy into rotary motion comprising a body, a plurality of electromagnetic means mounted in said body, each of said electromagnetic means having a movable core, each of said cores being swingably connected to one end of independent link means, drive gear means spaced from each of said electromagnetic means, the opposite end of each of said link means being eccentrically pivoted to oNe of said drive gear means, said drive gear means being rotatably mounted on stub shafts disposed along a common axis, a drive shaft spaced from and generally parallel to the axes of said stub shafts, a plurality of driven gear means fixed to said drive shaft and meshing with said drive gear means, and distributor means associated with said body for sequentially operating said electromagnetic means, whereby at least one of said electromagnetic means is energized at any one time to cause rotation of said driving gear means to drive said driven gear and said drive shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
The structure of claim 1 in which said distributor means includes a commutator supplied with electrical energy from an exterior source and adapted to sequentially energize said electromagnetic means, and said commutator is mounted on one of said stub shafts.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
54 words
The structure of claim 1 including battery means for supplying electrical energy to said distributor means, an electrical generating unit electrically connected to said battery means, and means for driving said generating unit from said drive shaft, whereby at least part of the electrical energy from said battery means is returned thereto. eccentrically sequential
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
139 words
In an electromagnetic motor having solenoid means with a core swingably connected to one end of a link, and means for sequentially energizing said solenoid means: the improvement comprising a plurality of stub shafts disposed along a common axis in spaced relation to said solenoid means, a drive gear mounted on each of said stub shafts, the opposite end of each of said links being eccentrically pivotally connected to one of said drive gears so that operation of said solenoid means will cause rotation of said drive gears, a drive shaft spaced from and generally parallel to the common axis of said stub shafts, a plurality of driven gears fixed to said drive shaft, each of said driven gears meshing with one of said drive gears, whereby sequential operation of said drive gears causes rotation of said drive shaft.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
139 words
In an electromagnetic motor having solenoid means with a core swingably connected to one end of a link, and means for sequentially energizing said solenoid means: the improvement comprising a plurality of stub shafts disposed along a common axis in spaced relation to said solenoid means, a drive gear mounted on each of said stub shafts, the opposite end of each of said links being eccentrically pivotally connected to one of said drive gears so that operation of said solenoid means will cause rotation of said drive gears, a drive shaft spaced from and generally parallel to the common axis of said stub shafts, a plurality of driven gears fixed to said drive shaft, each of said driven gears meshing with one of said drive gears, whereby sequential operation of said drive gears causes rotation of said drive shaft.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
96 words
The structure of claim 4 in which said means for sequentially operating said solenoid means includes a distributor mounted on one of said stub shafts, said distributor having a commutator having a generally cylindrical periphery, means for conducting electrical energy to a portion of said commutator periphery, a plurality of brushes spaced about said commutator and intimately engaging the periphery thereof, each of said brushes being connected to a separate solenoid means, and means for supplying electrical energy to said commutator, so that rotation of said commutator will sequentially supply electrical energy to said solenoid means.
