Abstract
Abstract A structure of an exhaust manifold of a multi-rotor type rotary engine, wherein individual exhaust ports corresponding to individual combustion chambers are connected to a common manifold reactor in the manner that the lines of ejection of the individual exhaust ports cut one another at a point located within a space confined in the manifold reactor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
A structure of an exhaust manifold of a multi-rotor type rotary engine which comprises a plurality of rotors, wherein exhaust gases delivered from individual combustion chambers corresponding to individual rotors are introduced into a common manifold reactor, characterized in that the lines of ejection of individual exhaust ports corresponding to said individual combustion chambers substantially cut one another at a point located within an internal space of the manifold reactor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
A structure of an exhaust manifold of a multi-rotor type rotary engine which comprises a plurality of rotors, wherein exhaust gases delivered from individual combustion chambers corresponding to individual rotors are introduced into a common manifold reactor, characterized in that the lines of ejection of individual exhaust ports corresponding to said individual combustion chambers substantially cut one another at a point located within an internal space of the manifold reactor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A structure of an exhaust manifold according to claim 1, wherein said point is located in the depth of the manifold reactor sufficiently distant from the exit thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A structure of an exhaust manifold according to claim 1, wherein the axis of an exhaust port which opens into the manifold reactor at a portion relatively close to the exit of the reactor is curved toward the depth of the manifold reactor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
A structure of an exhaust manifold according to claim 1, wherein the axis of an exhaust port which opens into the manifold reactor at a portion located relatively close to the exit of the reactor is straightly inclined toward the depth of the manifold reactor.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A structure of an exhaust manifold according to claim 1, wherein the peripheral portion of said exhaust port is thermally insulated from a motor housing surrounding said wall portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A structure of an exhaust manifold according to claim 5, wherein said peripheral wall portion of the exhaust port is formed of a tubular member made of a heat insulating material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
49 words
A structure of an exhaust manifold according to claim 5, wherein the peripheral wall portion of the exhaust port is formed of a tubular member which is mounted into a corresponding opening formed in a rotor housing in a manner to leave an annular space around said tubular member.
