MOTION CONVERTER Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F02B33/00 F02B75/24 F16H21/22 F16H19/04 

FIELD: mechanical engineering, particularly combustion engines, pumps and positive displacement compressors, namely mechanisms, which covert reciprocal movement into rotation and vice versa.

SUBSTANCE: motion converter comprises four cylinders grouped in pairs. Pistons of opposite cylinders are connected with each other through fixed bar. The converter has the first and the second pair of fixedly connected parallel toothed racks brought into engagement with corresponding segmental gear-wheels fixedly connected to one output shaft. In each segmented gear-wheel teeth extend for less than half of 180° pitch circle. Segmented gear-wheels cooperating with corresponding toothed racks are shifted through predetermined angle, preferably 90° angle, one relatively another.

EFFECT: increased performance.
