Abstract: The present invention relates to a piston (10, 110) for a combustion engine having a basic element (11, 111) and a ring carrier element (12, 112) held on the basic element (11, 111) with a top land (25, 125) all around its circumference and ring belt (26, 126) all around its circumference. It is provided in accordance with the invention that the ring carrier element (12, 112) grips around the basic element (11, 111) at least partially and is held on the basic element (11, 111) by means of a press fit.

Abstract: A two-part piston for an internal combustion engine, comprising a piston head and a piston skirt connected with the piston head in articulated manner, by way of a piston pin. The piston head has a piston crown that is followed by a cylindrical circumference surface having a top land and a ring belt. The piston head can include a ring-shaped circumferential cooling channel disposed within the piston head. The opening of this cooling channel faces the piston skirt, and is closed off with a seal element. There is a seal element that has a first free end that is held between piston head and piston skirt, or rests against an outer wall of the cooling channel. The seal element has a second free end that rests against the piston head, and wherein the seal element has a bottom that lies on a surface of the piston skirt that faces the cooling channel.

Abstract: A cooling channel cover for a one-piece piston of an internal combustion engine, the piston having a closed cooling channel that runs around inside the piston crown, at the level of the piston ring band, and a ring-shaped recess provided between the piston ring band and the piston shaft, wherein the piston shaft is connected with the piston hubs suspended on the piston crown. In such a piston, an easy to assemble cooling channel cover is achieved in that a one-piece, plastic spring steal ring, U-shaped in cross-section, having radially angled outer and inner shanks around the circumference, has at least one film hinge running around the circumference of the ring. The film hinge allows at least one radial deflection of at least one of the shanks, in such a manner that in order to close off the cooling channel, the shanks engage in a stepped conical recess on the inner edge of the cooling channel.

The piston shaft is connected with the piston hubs suspended on the piston crown. In such a piston, an easy to assemble cooling channel cover is achieved by a one-piece plastic/spring steel ring that is U-shaped in cross-section, having a ring bottom and an outer shank around the circumference, molded onto the ring bottom and angled off radially to the outside, and an inner shank around the circumference, angled off radially to the inside.

There is a fist radial division having a mouth width (M) and a second radial division forming a first film hinge for radial deflection of one of the ring shanks and a second film hinge that permits at least one radial deflection of at least one of the radially angled shanks. In order to close off the cooling channel, the shanks engage in a stepped conical recess of on an inner circumferential edge of the cooling channel.
