Claim 1
Independent Claim
252 words
An orbital engine structure having in combination a supporting frame member, an engine block disposed in said frame member, said engine block having a cylinder chamber therein, a piston in said chamber, a first means journaled in said supporting frame member supporting said engine block, said means guiding said engine block through an orbital path, a second means journaled in said supporting frame member supporting said piston, said last mentioned means guiding said piston in an orbital path, said first and said second mentioned means respectively guiding said engine block and said piston in orbital directions oppositely of one another and in orbital paths parallel to one another, said cylinder chamber having an exhaust port running through said engine block, said piston having a jet air port therethrough, said supporting frame member having an exhaust port running from communication with said exhaust port in said engine block to the atmosphere, said exhaust port in said supporting frame member being in register with said exhaust poRt of said engine block on the exhaust stroke of said piston, said exhaust port in said supporting frame member being in register with said exhaust port of said engine block and with said jet air port in said piston on the compression stroke of said piston, an inlet port to said cylinder chamber, means providing pressurized air to said inlet port, and said air jet port in said piston being in register with said inlet port when in register with said exhaust port of said cylinder chamber.

An orbital engine structure having in combination a supporting frame member, an engine block disposed in said frame member, said engine block having a cylinder chamber therein, a piston in said chamber, a first means journaled in said supporting frame member supporting said engine block, said means guiding said engine block through an orbital path, a second means journaled in said supporting frame member supporting said piston, said last mentioned means guiding said piston in an orbital path, said first and said second mentioned means respectively guiding said engine block and said piston in orbital directions oppositely of one another and in orbital paths parallel to one another, said cylinder chamber having an exhaust port running through said engine block, said piston having a jet air port therethrough, said supporting frame member having an exhaust port running from communication with said exhaust port in said engine block to the atmosphere, said exhaust port in said supporting frame member being in register with said exhaust poRt of said engine block on the exhaust stroke of said piston, said exhaust port in said supporting frame member being in register with said exhaust port of said engine block and with said jet air port in said piston on the compression stroke of said piston, an inlet port to said cylinder chamber, means providing pressurized air to said inlet port, and said air jet port in said piston being in register with said inlet port when in register with said exhaust port of said cylinder chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
The structure set forth in claim 1, wherein said first mentioned means comprises a pair of crank shafts in vertical alignment, and said second mentioned means comprises a crank shaft disposed between said pair of crank shafts axially aligned therewith.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
The structure set forth in claim 1, including a seal carried by said supporting frame member in facing sealing relationship with said engine block, and said seal encompassing the orbital path of said exhaust port of said engine block.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
79 words
The structure set forth in claim 1, wherein said cylinder chamber has an expansion chamber at each end thereof, said piston has a piston head at each end thereof, said cylinder chamber has an exhaust port running from each of said expansion chambers through said engine block, said supporting frame member having an exhaust port corresponding to each exhaust port of said cylinder chamber, and said piston having a jet air port extending therethrough adjacent each head portion thereof.
