An opposed piston internal combustion engine comprises an output shaft (6), at least one cylinder (3), at least one pair of first and second opposed pistons (1, 2) slidable in said cylinder (3), a first cam (18) connected to the output shaft (6) and a first cam follower assembly (20, 21) connecting the first piston (1) to the first cam (18), a second cam (19) connected to the output shaft (6) and a second cam follower assembly (22, 23) connecting the second piston (2) to the second cam (19), an intake valve comprising a slide valve obtained by the first piston (1) covering and uncovering an intake port (5) provided in a sidewall of the cylinder (3) at a first end of the cylinder (3), and an exhaust valve comprising a slide valve obtained by the second piston (2) covering and uncovering an exhaust port (4) provided in the sidewall of the cylinder (3) at a second opposite end of the cylinder (3)) the first and second cams (18; 19) cooperating to provide a cycle of relative movements between the pistons (1, 2) and of valve actions giving rise to five cycles of (i) intake; (ii) compression, (iii) expansion, (iv) exhaust, and (v) return, during which the opposed pistons (1, 2) travel towards a same end of the cylinder (3).

Un moteur à combustion interne à pistons opposés comprend un arbre de sortie (6), au moins un cylindre (3), au moins une paire de pistons composée d'un premier et d'un second piston opposés (1, 2) glissant dans ledit cylindre (3), une première came (8) reliée à l'arbre de sortie (6) et un premier ensemble suiveur de came (20, 21) reliant le premier piston (1) à la première came (18), une seconde came (19) reliée à l'arbre de sortie (6) et un second ensemble suiveur de came (22, 23) reliant le second piston (2) à la seconde came (19), une soupape d'admission comprenant un tiroir de distribution obtenu par le mouvement du premier piston (1) couvrant et découvrant un orifice d'admission (5) situé dans la paroi du cylindre (3) à une première extrémité du cylindre (3), et une soupape d'échappement comprenant un tiroir de distribution obtenu par le mouvement du second piston (2) couvrant et découvrant un orifice d'échappement (4) situé dans la paroi du cylindre (4) à une seconde extrémité opposée du cylindre (3), la première et la seconde came (18, 19) coopérant pour fournir un cycle de mouvements relatifs entre les pistons (1, 2) et d'actionnements des soupapes provoquant cinq cycles (i) d'admission, (ii) de compression (iii) de détente, (iv) d'échappement, et (v) de retour, pendant lesquels les pistons opposés (1, 2) se déplacent vers la même extrémité du cylindre (3).
