<p>An Oldham drive engine for effectively taking out a maximum combustion pressure from the top dead center of a piston engine as a rotational output of an output shaft (17). An Oldham's coupling mechanism is formed by interposing a slider (11) between flanges (8, 9). One (8) of the flanges is made to act as an idler flange (8), while the other as an output flange (9), and the output end of a piston rod (4) is connected to the center of the above slider (11). Furthermore, the centerline (B2) of the flanges (8, 9) is oriented at an angle THETA relative to the cylinder centerline (B1) in a counter-rotational direction of the slider (11). In addition, it is possible to construct a multicylinder engine in which a plurality of engines of the above type are arranged side by side for connection, and in which idler flanges (8) supported between adjacent engine cases (7) rotate in conjunction with sliders (11) inside the respective engine cases (7), whereby the outputs of the respective pistons are collectively output to the output shaft of the final end engine case (7). <IMAGE></p> |
