  • Patent number: 10487777
    Abstract: The efficiency of charging air to a scavenging channel is enhanced by generating a gas flow in a piston groove simultaneously with the piston groove coming into communication with an air port. A piston groove 8 formed in a peripheral surface of a piston includes a pressure transmission through hole 10, and the pressure transmission through hole 10 consistently communicates with a crankcase. In the course of the piston moving up, upon a pressure in the crankcase becoming negative, the negative pressure in the crankcase affects the piston groove 8 through the pressure transmission through hole 10. Consequently, a pressure in the piston groove 8 is released to the crankcase through the pressure transmission through hole 10. Upon the piston moving up and the piston groove 8 being thereby brought into communication with the air port 4a, air enters the piston groove 8 through the air port 4a ((III) of FIG. 1).

  • Patent number: 10113517
    Abstract: To improve the effect of preventing contamination of an element in an air cleaner. An air cleaner includes a first inlet (60) through which air is fed to an intake system air passage and a second inlet (62) through which air is fed to an intake system air-fuel mixture passage. An extended passage (72) leads to the second inlet (62), for example. A passage forming member (70, 204) forming the extended passage (72) is shaped to surround a periphery of the first inlet (60). The passage forming member (70, 204) forms a blown-back fuel diffusion preventing region (74) leading to the first inlet (60).

  • Patent number: 10036304
    Abstract: To balance a “low-temperature scavenging effect” and a “high-temperature scavenging effect.” A scavenging system applicable to a leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine has a low-temperature scavenging passage and a high-temperature scavenging passage. The low-temperature scavenging passage has first and second passages and includes scavenging ports at upper end parts thereof. The high-temperature scavenging passage has first and second passages and includes scavenging ports at upper end parts thereof. An air is filled through a piston groove into the passages. The low-temperature scavenging passage has a relatively small capacity. The high-temperature scavenging passage has a relatively large capacity.

  • Patent number: 9988971
    Abstract: An amount of air taken into an air leading type two-stroke engine is increased to enhance an engine output, and gas emission characteristic deterioration caused by blow-back is inhibited. An inhibition member 16 is disposed between a choke valve 4 in a full open position and a throttle valve 6 in a full open position. The inhibition member 16 includes, for example, a mesh member like a metal mesh. Mixed fuel containing oil is supplied to the air-fuel mixture channel 14. Numerous pores of the inhibition member 16 (mesh member) are occluded by a membrane of oil components of the mixed fuel. Consequently, entry of a blow-back flow of an air-fuel mixture from the air-fuel mixture channel 14 into the air channel 12 through the numerous pores of the flow inhibition member 16 (mesh member) can be inhibited.
