Guided-Vane Rotary Apparatus With Improved Vane-Guiding Means

View page
US Patent:
56347839, Jun 3, 1997
Filed:
Oct 10, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/541638
Inventors:
Arnold J. Beal - Knoxville TN
International Classification:
F04C 200
US Classification:
418264
Abstract:
A guided-vane type rotary apparatus including a housing, a rotor rotatably mounted within the housing for rotation about an axis, and vanes associated with the rotor for movement radially with respect thereto between alternative radial positions utilizes an endless groove defined in the housing and cam follower elements which are joined to the vanes and captured between the walls of the groove. As the rotor is rotated about its axis and the vanes are forced to rotate within the housing in conjunction with the rotor, the cam follower elements are guided along the groove and force the vanes to move radially of the rotor between alternative radial positions. Thus, the walls of the groove and each mechanism joined to a vane cooperate as cam and cam follower, respectively, to move the corresponding vane between alternative radial positions as the rotor is rotated within the housing.

US Patent:
20140261295, Sep 18, 2014
Filed:
Mar 13, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/815642
Inventors:
Arnold J. Beal - Knoxville TN, US
International Classification:
F02B 53/12
F02B 53/10
US Classification:
123211
Abstract:
A guided-vane rotary internal combustion engine including a plurality of working chambers which are separated from one another by way of vane assemblies which rotate with a rotor assembly about an axis employs a rotor assembly having a plurality of sectors wherein each sector is associated with a corresponding working chamber and a plurality of spark plugs wherein each spark plug is mounted within a corresponding sector for igniting an air/fuel mixture contained within a corresponding working chamber. A rotor disk is mounted upon the rotor assembly for rotation therewith and acts as a distributor through which energizing charges are conducted to the spark plugs. In addition, a controller is utilized for selectively activating or de-activating the working chambers of the engine upon the occurrence of a predetermined event.

US Patent:
20140271316, Sep 18, 2014
Filed:
Mar 13, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/815641
Inventors:
Arnold J. Beal - Knoxville TN, US
International Classification:
F04C 2/344
F04C 27/00
US Classification:
418261
Abstract:
A guided-vane rotary apparatus having working chambers and rotor hub sectors which are separated from one another by vane assemblies and which rotate within a housing opening embody features which reduce the likelihood of flow communication between the working chambers. To this end, the apparatus includes sealing arrangements which are disposed between the walls of the housing opening and the vane assemblies and between the vane assemblies and the hub sectors between which the vane assemblies are positioned. Furthermore, the housing is provided with seal-accepting recesses adjacent its opening, and a sealing ring is closely accepted by each recess. Wave springs are disposed between the bottom of the recesses and the sealing rings for biasing the sealing rings axially of the apparatus and into sealing engagement with adjacent surfaces of the apparatus.
