Continuous reciprocating linear motion device
View Patent ↗A linear fluid piston device not requiring a fluid valve to operate and has operating piston stroke capabilities beyond traditional vibration fluid devices. The linear fluid device features (a) a movable piston means for linear motion, (b) a feature wherein said body provides rotational movement for fluid port alignment and a pressure vessel containing an (c) end cap and (d) cavity sized to guide the movable piston. In the improvement, the moveable piston provides a method for changing the linear direction in the event the total linear piston movement has not completed.
1. A pressurized fluid linear motion device comprising (a) a movable piston means for linear motion, (b) a body that provides rotational movement for fluid port alignment, and (c) a pressure vessel containing an end surface to retain pressure and a cavity sized to guide the movable piston, wherein said movable piston means further provides said rotational movement.
2. The pressurized fluid linear motion device in claim 1 , wherein the moveable piston means includes an angled feature for rotation by interaction of a fixed feature.
3. The pressurized fluid linear motion device in claim 1 , wherein the moveable piston means includes a variable sloping feature for rotation by interaction of a fixed feature.
