AXIAL PISTON ENGINE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; internal combustion engines. SUBSTANCE: engine has cylinder and sliders. Each cylinder accommodates piston with rod square to slotted-link body in which slide block is placed. Slotted link reciprocates in sliders. Rod journal of crank is fitted in hole of slide block for rotation in slide block. Slider and counterweight are mechanically coupled with reduction gear and electric motor arranged inside support journal of crank.
