Abstract: A piston includes a piston head, two skirt walls disposed opposite one another and at least one pin bearing disposed between the skirt walls and supported on the piston head. Each skirt wall extends over a partial region of the periphery of the piston or piston head. The two skirt walls are connected by at least one self-supporting support wall disposed at a distance from the piston head. A cylinder and piston assembly and a piston ring for a cylinder, are also provided.

Abstract: A piston ring with an upper part ring having an upper ring surface and with a lower part ring having a lower ring surface, and with a ring spring which is arranged between the part rings and acts with spring force upon these radially outward, characterized in that each of the two part rings has, on its circular-ring surface in each case facing the other part ring, a plurality of elevations arranged so as to be separated from one another by depression regions, with plateau surfaces which are parallel to the ring surfaces and are flat-planar or descend and which have in each case, the ring axis of the respective part ring, toward an inner-flank indentation which emanates, oriented parallel to the ring axis, from the plateau surfaces and runs out toward said spring axis, in each case parallel to the upper and the lower ring surface, and which has a quarter-circle-shaped cross section, the radius rv of said inner-flank indentation being 1 to 10% larger than the outer radius of the circle cross section of the comm

Abstract: A roll-type rotary slide valve having good running properties for a cylinder head unit of a piston-controlled internal combustion engine. For this purpose, the roll-type rotary slide valve is made of austenitic cast iron.

Abstract: A cast light metal piston of box-type construction for a two-stroke engine, comprising a piston blank having a gudgeon pin boss molded on a bottom section of the piston blank and a piston shaft having an open end and being connected to the gudgeon pin boss via approximately straight wall sections. There is only one lug disposed on only one side of the piston shaft. The wall section connecting the piston shaft with the gudgeon pin boss near the lug has a window-like recess. The wall section connecting the piston shaft with the gudgeon pin boss remote from the lug is closed and is raised upwardly with respect to the length of the shaft beginning from the open end of the shaft.

Abstract: The gas burner according to the invention has a burner chamber housing, a mixing pipe connected to the burner chamber housing for supplying a gas/air mixture, a burner plate made of fibrous material and attached to the burner chamber housing at edge regions of the burner plate, a blower for supplying air to make the gas/air mixture, and advantageously an ignition device, a safety device and a temperature monitoring device. A central region of the burner plate is advantageously directly or indirectly connected to a corresponding central region of the burner chamber housing to suppress burner plate vibration during start-up of burner operation to prevent sound generation during the start-up and minimize the pressure drop in the burner chamber.

Abstract: An extremely light and low friction plunger piston for internal combustion engines, particularly Otto-type engines for private cars. The piston has the following ratios and dimensions(H/D)=0.20-0.35(T/D)=0.22-0.38(A/D)=0.15-0.25(B/D)=(A/D)whereinD=piston diameterH=compression height between a top of the head and the gudgeon pin bore axisT=distance from the radially outer boss faces to the piston axisA=axial skirt dimension below annular groove nearest the pin bore axis at a peripheral zone of the skirt extending over an angle .alpha. of 15 to 60 degrees to either side of a connecting rod oscillating planeB=axial skirt dimension below said annular groove in a direction along said gudgeon pin axis;and further wherein the distal end of the skirt is reduced radially over an axial dimension of 10-25% of an axial length of the skirt in said direction along said gudgeon pin axis, said distal end being reduced at its edge by 0.01-0.15 mm.
