  • Patent number: 11384715
    Abstract: A mixture formation unit has a base body in which an intake channel section is formed. The intake channel section extends from a first end side of the base body to a second end side of the base body. The mixture formation unit has at least one rectilinearly extending channel which opens into the intake channel section. The channel opens at the first end side of the base body. The mixture formation unit is preferably provided for a two stroke engine whose intake channel is divided downstream of the mixture formation unit into a mixture channel and an air channel.

  • Publication number: 20110146641
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine has a cylinder with cylinder liner and a reciprocatingly supported piston delimiting a combustion chamber and driving in rotation a crankshaft in a crankcase. A device for supplying fuel and combustion air is provided. At least one transfer passage connects in at least one piston position the crankcase interior with the combustion chamber. The transfer passage has a transfer port that opens into the combustion chamber and an opening that opens into the crankcase. Opening and transfer port are displaced relative to each other in circumferential direction of the cylinder. The cylinder liner has at least one segment of a piston bearing surface and forms at least one wall section of the transfer passage. The cylinder has an upper cylinder segment and a lower cylinder segment that are separately embodied. The cylinder liner is separate from the upper and lower cylinder segments.

  • Patent number: 7299773
    Abstract: A cylinder for a two-stroke engine has a cylinder wall defining a cylinder interior. A cylinder head closes of a combustion chamber in the cylinder interior. An exhaust is connected to the cylinder interior. At least one transfer passage having a transfer port opens into the cylinder interior. The at least one transfer passage is disposed in the cylinder wall for connecting a crank case of the two-stroke engine to the combustion chamber. The at least one transfer passage has at the level of the transfer port at least one flow deflecting rib having a radial spacing from the transfer port in a radial outward direction relative to a longitudinal cylinder axis.

  • Patent number: 7228825
    Abstract: A two-stroke engine includes an air channel for supplying substantially fuel-free combustion air and a mixture channel for supplying an air/fuel mixture. The air channel and the mixture channel connect the cylinder of the two-stroke engine to an air filter. A section of the mixture channel and a section of the air channel are guided in a common component. In order to prevent induction of mixture into the air channel, the length (a) of the mixture channel and the length (b) of the air channel are so matched to each other that the pressure wave in the air channel, which forms during operation, oscillates in phase with the pressure wave formed in the mixture channel. The length (a) of the mixture channel is matched to an optimal fuel induction via the fuel opening.

  • Patent number: 7044091
    Abstract: A cylinder for an internal combustion engine of a manually guided implement, and a method of producing such a cylinder, are provided. A cast cylinder body that peripherally delineates a cylinder chamber has formed therein at least one transfer channel that is open inwardly into the cylinder chamber and includes a central portion, extending approximately parallel to the cylinder axis, and a head portion that above the central portion faces in the direction of the cylinder chamber. A cylindrical sleeve covers the central portion of the transfer channel inwardly in the direction of the chamber. The sleeve extends in the direction of the cylinder axis beyond the central portion and ends below the head portion.

  • Patent number: 6293981
    Abstract: The invention is directed to an arrangement of an air filter (1) and a membrane carburetor (2). The membrane carburetor (2) has an intake channel section (3) configured in the carburetor housing (4) and fuel-conducting channels (6) open into the intake channel section (3). The channels (6) are supplied from a fuel-filled control chamber (7) which is configured in the carburetor housing (4). The control chamber (7) is partitioned from a compensation chamber (11) via a control membrane (10). The compensation chamber (11) communicates with the housing (14, 16) of the air filter (1) via a compensation channel (13) downstream of an air filter element (39). The air filter housing (14) engages over the membrane carburetor (2) essentially on the side of the compensation chamber (11) and the clean chamber (24) of the air filter housing (14) communicates with the intake channel section via a connecting stub (37) which lies approximately at right angles to the intake channel section (3).
