<p>A housing assembly (B) for a rotating cylinder valve engine (A) comprising a rotary cylinder (4) and a crank assembly, comprises a first casing part (1) and a second casing part (2) each formed with a respective jointing face (C, D), the first casing part (1) being formed with a tubular bore adapted to receive the rotary cylinder (4) and being formed to partially house the crank assembly and the second casing part (2) being formed to partially house the crank assembly. The housing assembly (B) further comprises a tubular portion for housing bearing means (5, 7) for the crankshaft assembly, the tubular portion being defined by a semi-cylindrical section formed on the first casing part (1) and a semi-cylindrical section formed on the second casing part (2). The arrangement is such that in the assembled state the respective jointing faces (C, D) are in contact with each other, apart from any gasket therebetween, the plane of the jointing faces (C, D) being substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotary cylinder (4), the tubular portion locating and retaining the bearing means (5, 7) for the crankshaft assembly.</p> |
