摘要： The rotary valve assembly of the present invention employs a rotary valve body member that is rotatably mounted in a cylindrical opening in a valve casing forming the head above a piston. The axis of this opening and the rotary valve are perpendicular to the axis of the piston and its associated cylinder walls. The intake and exhaust ports are openings that pass through the valve casing from its outer edge to the cylindrical opening containing the rotary valve. There is also a cylinder port between the cylindrical opening in the valve casing and the cylinder containing the piston. The rotary valve body has a circular cutout or scoop portion removed therefrom to allow intake gases to flow from the intake port via this cutout into the cylinder port and then into the cylinder. This same cutout also allows gases to pass from the cylinder port into the exhaust system via the exhaust port. The rotary valve is preferably integral with and driven by a shaft mounted in sealed bearings (mounted in the valve casing) and the shaft is in turn driven mechanically by appropriate coupling to or with the crankshaft. There is no metal-to-metal contact between the rotary valve body and the opening in the head and thus, no need for a separate lubrication supply. The cylindrical opening in the head contains a plurality of non-metallic sealing members which contact the rotary valve body. The rotary valve body has spacers on both sides to prevent metal-to-metal contact with the walls of the cylindrical opening.

摘要翻译： 本发明的旋转阀组件采用旋转阀体构件，其可旋转地安装在形成在活塞上方的头部的阀壳中的圆柱形开口中。 该开口的轴线和旋转阀垂直于活塞的轴线及其相关联的气缸壁。 进气和排气口是通过阀壳从其外边缘到包含旋转阀的圆柱形开口的开口。 在阀壳体中的圆柱形开口和容纳活塞的气缸之间还有一个气缸口。 旋转阀体具有从其移除的圆形切口或勺部，以允许进气从进气口经由该切口流入气缸端口，然后进入气缸。 同样的切口也允许气体通过排气口从气缸口进入排气系统。 旋转阀优选地与安装在密封轴承（安装在阀壳体中）的轴一体并由其驱动，并且轴通过适当地联接到曲轴或与曲轴一起被机械地驱动。 旋转阀体与头部开口之间没有金属对金属的接触，因此不需要单独的润滑电源。 头部中的圆柱形开口包含与旋转阀体接触的多个非金属密封构件。 旋转阀体在两侧具有间隔件，以防止金属与金属与圆柱形开口的壁接触。
