Rotary vane type IC engine with built-in scavenging air blower
This patent describes a rotary internal combustion engine. This engine consists of: a housing assembly including three sections and having a single common power shaft, the three sections being integrally connected together and operatively connected together into a unitary self-contained engine, air and fuel mixture intake conduit means communicatively connected to a first of the three sections, means in the first section to perform admission and compression of the air and fuel mixture admitted from the conduit means, means to convey the compressed air and fuel mixture to a second of the three sections. A single internal partition wall means between the first and second sections, and the air and fuel mixture conveys means consisting of a port formed in the partition wall means. In the second section the compressed air is ignited with a fuel mixture and to permit expansion of the ignited air and fuel mixture to thereby furnish power strokes to the power shaft.
