Frame, crankshaft and crosshead assembly, and a crankshaft and crosshead frame, for a reciprocating-piston machine

摘要

A housing, feet therefor, and casings, formed of common, readily available tubular stock, of uniform thickness, are assembled and welded together to define a frame for a crankshaft and crosshead assemblies. The tubular housing has openings in the sides thereof in which to receive the casings, and has apertures, also in sides thereof, in which to journal a crankshaft. The casings include transverse webs with arcuate ways formed therein for slidably supporting crosshead shoes thereon.
