Abstract: For a static design of a cylinder head with optimum weight characteristics, it is proposed that the cylinder head bolt holes be disposed in a solid annular ring and, starting from that, a support element in the form of a cone-shaped shell be constructed towards the center of the cylinder head plate, the forces being directed in a straight line towards the center of the cylinder. A support ring forms the contact between the cylinder and the head.
