<p>An arrangement for a rotary piston type engine (1), the arrangement including an engine housing (2) with a casing plate (3) which divides the housing into first and second adjacent sections (6,7) and a rotatable crankcase (8) passing between the first and second sections (6,7). The first section (6) houses a cylinder block (10) connected to the crankcase (8) so as to be rotatable therewith relative to the engine housing (2), the cylinder block (10) being adapted to house a piston (11). The crankcase (8) is configured to allow passage of a connecting rod (12) which operatively couples the piston (11) to a rotatable crankshaft (13) housed within the crankcase (8). The crankshaft (13) being coupled via a layshaft (20) and a series of gears (21, 22, 23, 24) to the crankcase (8) so as to affect likewise rotation of the crankshaft (13) and the cylinder block (10).</p> |
