Abstract: A structure of a chamber in a combustion engine includes a ring-groove portion formed on the piston, a squish-area making portion formed on a top surface of the piston for a squish-area, an outer edge portion formed around the top surface excepting the squish-area making portion, and a land portion formed around a side surface between the ring-groove portion and the top surface. The land portion includes, a squish-land portion formed between the ring-groove portion and the squish-area making portion, an outer-edge-land portion formed between the ring-groove portion and said outer edge portion, the outer-land portion being smaller than the squish-land portion in height.

Abstract: To improve both fuel consumption and quality of exhaust gas quality the present invention as a structure of a chamber in a combustion engine includes a ring-groove portion formed on the piston, a squish-area making portion formed on a top surface of the piston for a squish-area, an outer edge portion formed around the top surface excepting the squish-area making portion, and a land portion formed around a side surface between the ring-groove portion and the top surface. The land portion includes, a squish-land portion formed between the ring-groove portion and the squish-area making portion, an outer-edge-land portion formed between the ring-groove portion and said outer edge portion, the outer-land portion being smaller than the squish-land portion in height.

Abstract: A Karman vortex generating member is made integral with a sensor portion and supported elastically by a wall of a fluid conduit through a pair of elastic holding members so that externally produced pressure is prevented from being transmitted to the sensor portion.

Abstract: A vortex flowmeter for measuring the flow rate of a fluid flowing into a conduit, wherein a member 5a for disturbing the flow of the fluid is disposed upstream of a vortex generating column 3 for generating vortexes in the fluid to be measured, and upstream of a straightener 4 for uniforming the flow of the fluid into the conduit. The fluid flow is disturbed in both the flow direction and its orthogonal direction, and the generation of vortexes by the vortex generating column is facilitated, while the fluctuation of the generated vortexes is prevented.

Abstract: A vortex flowmeter including a shell member having an inlet and an outlet which are opened in the side wall thereof, a filter element provided in the shell member to define two, upper and lower, chambers inside the shell member and also isolate the inlet and the outlet from each other, a duct connected to the shell member in such a manner as to communicate with the outlet, and a vortex generating device provided inside the duct. A tubular projection is provided at the outlet in such a manner as to extend into the shell member, the projection being tapered toward the outlet, thereby correcting the flow of air flowing into the outlet so that the velocity distribution of air streams inside the duct becomes uniform.
