  • Patent number: 7305960
    Abstract: The invention relates to a piston for an internal combustion engine, which comprises two boss bores that have respective outer areas with an oval cross-section that points on one side in the direction of the piston head. The great axis of the ovality is parallel to the piston axis and the degree of ovality increases towards the outer end of the boss bores.

  • Patent number: 5065706
    Abstract: A cooled piston plunger for internal combustion engines having a separable piston head and piston shaft, wherein cooling oil is injected into an outer annular space in the piston head and distributed by oil collecting pockets of different sizes arranged in opposite relationship within the annular space at the upper end of the piston shaft to thereby uniformly distribute the desired cooling effect around the circumference of the piston head.
