Patent
·
OSTI ID:6541642
A drive mechanism is disclosed for drivingly connecting two reciprocating bodies to a rotating body and is particularly useful for linking a single pin crank of a crank-type stirling engine to its displacer and power piston. The drive means has at least two slotted yokes, each connected to a different one of the reciprocating bodies such as the pistons of the stirling engine. The pin of the crank extends through the slots of both slotted yokes. The slots are transverse to each other and preferably are linear.
