REG Technologies Inc. - Canadian Patent Approval
Vancouver British Columbia
REG TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the ``Company'')
Reg Technologies, Inc. (RRE.V / OTC BB: REG RF) is pleased to announce that the
Rand Cam(TM) Canadian Patent No.2,208,873 has been issued. The term of this patent is for 20 years from the date of application on December 12, 1995.
The patent is for the rotary device with slidable vane supports. This invention relates to rotary devices of the axial vane type,particularly the class of devices where volume change occurs between relatively close vanes and cam surfaces on each side of the rotor and where the vanes translate axially relative to the rotational axis of the rotor.
The Rand Cam(TM) engine offers many potential advantages including high efficiency,simple construction and light weight.However, while the theoretical possibility of such an engine has been suggested in the past, many practical difficulties have inhibited development of these engines beyond the stage of a working prototype. For example, some earlier patents do not disclose any practical system of seals between the rotor, vanes and stator. In addition,
relatively high loads can occur on the tips and seals of the vanes which can cause premature wear.
Accordingly it is an object of the invention to provide an improved axial vane rotary device which overcomes the disadvantages associated with earlier engines of this type.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved axial vane rotary device with reduced loading on the side edges of the vanes where they ride on the cam surfaces of the stator.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide an improved axial vane rotary device with reduced loading on seals associated with the vanes.
It is a further object of the invention to provide an improved axial vane rotary device with a positive, efficient and durable sealing system.
It is still further the object of the invention to provide an improved axial vane rotary device which is practical to produce,relatively low in cost and durable.
ABOUT REG TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Reg Technologies, Inc. jointly owns the worldwide rights to the Rand Cam(TM) rotary technology with its U.S. subsidiary REGI U.S., Inc. (OTC: RGUS - news) and is currently incorporating its latest winged rotor technology to dramatically improve sealing and reduce friction in the diesel Rand Cam(TM) engine. The Company is designing a oil pump for automobile transmissions for one of the big three car manufacturers in Detroit. Our goal is to licence the technology and/or to participate in joint ventures to manufacture specific Rand Cam(TM) applications.
