Abstract
The reciprocating piston engine has an annular swivel disk (6), driven by the engine shaft (5) and whose inclination with respect to the latter is adjustable, for driving circumferentially juxtaposed reciprocating pistons (2). For this purpose it is connected in articulated manner both to a sliding sleeve (21) axially guided on the engine shaft (5) and to a driver (13), which transmits the driving force and which is spaced from the engine shaft (5). As a result of the annular shape of the swivel disk, which is advantageous both dynamically and from the manufacturing standpoint a space-saving, articulated engagement of the driver (13) in a radial bore (16) of the swivel disk (6) is rendered possible.
