Abstract:
A piston with a central combustion chamber for injectiontype internal combustion engines, in which the combustion chamber is provided in the piston head and is equipped with heat accumulating means for retaining the heat resulting from the combustion of the fuel in the combustion chamber while the mantle surfaces of the piston which slidably engage the cylinder wall are provided with guiding and sliding means. Within the range of the combustion chamber opening there is provided an annular glowing part having a rim tapering toward the center or axis of the combustion chamber while between the annular glowing part and the piston head which forms an annular support there is provided the heat accumulating means, e.g. in the form of a chamber. These heat accumulating means together with the glowing part have a ring width substantially equalling the injection depth of the fuel jet when the engine is idling. The annular support together with the mantle of the fuel chamber is detachably connected to at least one guiding or sliding body, sliding block, or sliding ring by means of a piston foot and a crosshead.
Abstract:
The application discloses a two-cycle crankcase compression internal combustion engine having extended and specially positioned intake porting and reed-type intake valves, with the porting and valves arranged to improve various of the operating characteristics of the engine.
Abstract:
A compact V-type two-cycle engine has one-half of the crankcase cast integrally with the cylinder or cylinders on one side of the V and joined with a corresponding cast unit in a parting plane bisecting the V. The cylinder heads are cast integral with the corresponding cylinders, and each pair of cylinders in the V formation has its pistons connected to the same crank pin of the crank-shaft. A liner sleeve in the crankcase cooperates with a circular disc centrally of the crank pin to separate the compression chambers for the two cylinders. The engine is disposed with the V inverted and provision is made to keep the crankcase and pistons free of any unburned fuel charge accumulation.
Abstract:
A piston and compression and oil control piston rings unit for internal combustion engines, said unit being placed in a cylinder delimiting a combustion chamber with its head and said piston which comprises a body formed with a head and a skirt, grooves receiving said rings, oil return orifices and a central cavity, each piston ring and its groove comprising a pair of upper contiguous faces and a pair of lower contiguous faces one of said faces of each piston ring being a face assuming the main work of the piston ring, in which: AN EFFICIENT SEALING MEANS IS PLACED BETWEEN THE FACE OF EACH PISTON RING ASSUMING THE MAIN WORK OF THE PISTON RING AND THE CONTIGUOUS FACE OF ITS GROOVE, ON AT LEAST A CIRCLE ADJOINING THE INNER LIMIT OF THE FACE OF THE PISTON RING, AND AN ACCESS MEANS IS PLACED ON AT LEAST ONE IMPORTANT PART OF THE AREA BETWEEN THE UPPER CONTIGUOUS FACES OF EACH PISTON RING AND ITS GROOVE, FOR THE PRESSURE EXISTING ABOVE THE PISTON RING.
Abstract:
The piston structure comprises a body having a substantial number of circumferential grooves each receiving a piston ring, the radially outer portions of said rings extending vertically in spaced relation to the piston to comprise, in effect, a substantially continuous cylinder wall-engaging sleeve, thus reducing contact of the piston itself with the cylinder wall, groove engaging portions of the rings spaced from the bottoms of the grooves to receive oil for cushioning the rings and permitting expansion of the piston.
Abstract:
Method of making an aluminum alloy piston with a ring groove reinforcement wherein a grooved piston blank is cleaned to remove any oxide films, and a bonding metal is sprayed over the surface of the groove while the blank is at a temperature of from about 330* to 390* F., and thereafter a wear resistant metal is sprayed into the groove while the blank is still at a temperature within the aforementioned range to thereby fill the groove.
Abstract:
A piston of the type including a pistonhead having a combustion chamber in its upper face and piston ring receiving grooves about its periphery. The pistonhead is machined with a concentric element on its underside adapted to engage a concentric element on a wrist pin bearing frame on which partial skirts or slipper elements are mounted to distribute the transverse thrust of the piston against the cylinder wall. The combustion chamber is surrounded by a shell element through which the on concentric element extends and to which it is sealed, preferably by welding. The upper portion of the shell extends upwardly spaced from the wall of the combustion chamber to provide a cooling space to receive a meltable first coolant, and a second annular shell element, or border member, may be mounted between the inner wall of the ring supporting periphery of the pistonhead below the piston ring grooves and the outer wall of the shell element, to form a chamber for a second coolant which may be the engine lubricant.
