摘要： Internal combustion engine and method with compression and expansion chambers of variable volume, a combustion chamber, a variable intake valve for controlling air intake to the compression chamber, a variable outlet valve for controlling communication between the compression chamber and the combustion chamber, means for introducing fuel into the combustion chamber to form a mixture of fuel and air which burns and expands in the combustion chamber, a variable inlet valve for controlling communication between the combustion chamber and the expansion chamber, a variable exhaust valve for controlling exhaust flow from the expansion chamber, means for monitoring temperature and pressure conditions, and a computer responsive to the temperature and pressure conditions for controlling opening and closing of the valves and introduction of fuel into to the combustion chamber to optimize engine efficiency over a wide range of engine load conditions The relative volumes of the compression and expansion chambers and the timing of the valves are such that the pressure in the combustion chamber remains substantially constant throughout the operating cycle of the engine, and exhaust pressures are very close to atmospheric pressure regardless of the load on the engine The engine runs so quietly and burns so cleanly that in some applications it may not require a muffler and/or a catalytic converter.

摘要： Constant pressure internal combustion engine having an elongated combustion chamber which in some embodiments is folded back upon itself and has a rough, twisting interior side wall, a fuel inlet for introducing fuel into the chamber, a compression chamber in communication with the combustion chamber, means for varying the volume of the compression chamber and combustion chamber to form a mixture of fuel and air that burns as it travels through the chamber and is further mixed by the rough, twisting side wall of the chamber, an expansion chamber in communication with the combustion chamber, and an output member in the expansion chamber which is driven by pressure produced by the burning mixture, with the means for varying the volume of the compression chamber and the output member in the expansion chamber being connected together for movement in concert such that the pressure remains substantially constant within the combustion chamber. A gas flow separator near the fuel inlet forms one or more smaller volumes within the combustion chamber where the fuel can mix and burn with only a portion of the air introduced into the chamber. Long, sharp protrusions extend inwardly from the wall of the combustion chamber and form hot spots which help to provide complete combustion of the fuel mixture throughout the combustion chamber, and these protrusions, together with flow turbulators within the chamber, promote complete mixing and, hence, combustion of the fuel and air.

摘要： The invention relates to a hydraulic valve-lash-adjusting element, having a plunger (1), in the plunger head (2) of which a control valve (5) is arranged, this control valve (5) controlling a central axial bore (6) which connects a low-pressure space (4), arranged above the plunger head (2), to a high-pressure space (3) arranged below the plunger head (2), the control valve (5) having a valve-closing body (7) which is loaded in the opening direction by a valve-body spring (17) and as a result passes from a cylinder-ring-shaped sealing surface (8) arranged on the plunger head (2) to a travel-limit surface (9) of a centre piece (24), whereas the closing of the control valve (5) is effected by displacement of oil from the high-pressure space (3) into the low-pressure space (4). According to the invention, the valve-closing body (7) reaches the sealing surface (8) on a linear path without lateral movement or rotation of said valve-closing body (7) by virtue of the fact that a circular-cylindrical and axially parallel guide surface connected to the plunger head (2) is provided, this guide surface enclosing a corresponding guide line (40) of the valve-closing body (7) with guide clearance.

摘要： The space between the outer side-surfaces 17 of a pair of side-wall sections 4 is not parallel to each other due to differences in expansion amount during plastical deformation. In use, a load is applied to the pivot 3 from the side where the space between the outer side surfaces 17 is narrow to the side where the space is broad. A crimped section 13a is formed on the outer periphery at the opposite end surfaces of the pivot 3, on the half on the side where the space between the outer side surfaces 17 is narrow. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface of the opposite ends of the pivot 3 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 11 on the load support side. Consequently, the load is sufficiently supported by the contact surface, and even after being used for a long time of period, lost motion is prevented from occurring on the support section at the opposite ends of the pivot 3 with respect to the pair of side-wall section 4.

摘要： Peeling occurring in a short period of time is avoided in a roller member such as a roller cam follower of a cam apparatus in a valve system of a car engine. The roller member is produced by heating an already processed a roller member material in a carburizing atmosphere of carbon potential being 1.2% or more at 840 to 870null C. for 3 hours or longer, thereby to carry out a carburization treatment, followed by quenching, said roller member material being formed in a predetermined shape from a bearing steel. Thereby, all amount of carbon are rendered to be 1.0 to 1.6 wt % in a surface portion of a range from a surface of a rolling face until a depth where a maximum shearing stress acts on, an amount of solute carbon is is rendered to be 0-6 to 1.0 wt % in a matrix of said surface portion, and said surface portion is precipitated with carbides of 5 to 20% in an area rate and of particle size being 3null or less.
