DRIVE FOR A VARIABLE-STROKE RECIPROCATING ENGINE

摘要

A drive for a variable-stroke reciprocating engine, comprising a rotatably journalled draft and a plate which is mounted thereon so that the plate cannot rotate with respect to the shaft during operation. The plate is journalled on the shaft so that it is rotatable about an axis of rotation which intersects the centre line of the shaft at an angle. The plate is provided with a first conical gear ring which engages a second conical gear ring provided on a bush which is arranged around the shaft. Means are provided for rotating the bush with the second gear ring with respect to the shaft.
