Abstract: A two-cycle, spark ignition engine is improved in order to eliminate the need for the typical reed valves and carburetor, while eliminating the carbon build-up inherent in mixing of the lubricant with the fuel mixture. Fuel and air are injected into the combustion chamber, and oil is injected into the crankcase, while eliminating communication therebetween. The improvement may be provided as a retrofit kit, for the standard two cycle engine, or the original casting of the engine may include the required modifications.

Abstract: A two cycle, spark ignition, internal combustion engine of the class having a combustion chamber divided into a relatively small ignition region and a larger combustion engine in which the piston reciprocates. Substantially the same stoichiometric fuel-air mixtures are independently supplied to the ignition region in substantially fixed quantities and to the combustion region in variable quantities. These mixtures are compressed simultaneously so that they remain completely separated prior to ignition. The mixtures are stratified with respect to excess air supplied to both regions and to exhaust gases in the engine cylinder, and combustion initiated in the ignition region ignites the variable-sized mixture in the larger region. Burning proceeds from stoichiometric mixtures to lean mixtures as the stratified excess air is mixed into the burning gases. When no fuel is supplied to the combustion region, the ignition region functions independently and burns its fuel efficiently.

Abstract: A two stroke oscillating piston engine comprising cylinder sections provided with feed chambers for additional fresh air. The two outer rings, acting as pistons, draw in fresh air through intake ports and force that air to enter combustion chambers through communication ducts and ports. The middle ring is intended for the fresh gas supply of the combustion chambers. The radial grooves for fresh air are provided at a shorter distance from the ports than the radial grooves for fresh gas. Burnt and expanded gas is first exhausted from the combustion chambers by fresh gas; then the combustion chambers are filled with fresh gas and fresh air. Thus, exhausting unburnt gas together with burnt gas is avoided and improved combustion is provided in the combustion chambers.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine operating on a two-stroke cycle and including a piston 1 reciprocable in a cylinder 2 to drive a crank shaft and also to inhale and compress a volume of air is characterized by a second piston 15 working in a separate cylinder 13 co-axial with and opposed to the first cylinder 2, the piston 15 being synchronized with the first piston 1. The second piston 15 acts to introduce a compressed charge of mixture of air and fuel through a non-return valve 30 into a relatively small ignition chamber 34 including a sparking plug 35 and communicating with a combustion chamber 11 in the head of the cylinder 1. The piston 15 draws air/fuel mixture along an inlet passage 20, past a non-return reed valve 21 and into a crank case 22. On the return stroke of the piston 15 the mixture passes through passages 23 in the piston controlled by a non-return valve 24 and also along passages 14 and around the piston.

Abstract: A method for operating a two-cycle internal combustion engine wherein in the scavenging stroke the air-fuel mixture charged into the cylinder forms a stratum adjacent to a piston and the stratum of the air-fuel mixture is made into contact with the stratum of the residual gases remote from the piston. Alternately, in the scavenging stroke the rich mixture is first charged into the cylinder immediately above the piston and then the lean mixture is charged into the cylinder immediately above the piston so that the strata of the lean and rich mixtures and the residual gases may be formed in the order named from a portion close to the piston within the cylinder. The decomposition of part of the air-fuel mixture or the rich air-fuel mixture is caused by the heat contained in the residual gases so that the chemically activated radicals are produced.

Abstract: A two-stroke cycle gasoline engine having a first scavenging port which is supplied with fuel-air mixture through a mixture passage, and a second scavenging port which is supplied with air, wherein supply of fuel-air mixture through the mixture passage is substantially throttled while supply of air through the second scavenging port is interrupted, so as to perform stratified scavenging, when the engine is operating at low load, while in medium to high load operation the throttling of the mixture passage is released while air is injected through said second scavenging port, so as to generate swirling of mixture charged in the cylinder chamber.

Abstract: A two-cycle internal combustion engine includes a power cylinder, a drive piston being positioned therein. A first transfer duct extends between an auxiliary cylinder, which is supplied with carburetted air and the power cylinder and opens thereinto via a carburetted air inlet port provided on the side wall of the power cylinder or its combustion chamber. A pump crankcase, which is supplied with pure air, is connected to the power cylinder via a second transfer duct which opens thereinto via a scavenging inlet port on the side wall of the power cylinder. An exhaust port is provided on the side wall of the power cylinder. The ports are operatively arranged so that the scavenging port starts to open after the exhaust port and before the carburetted air inlet port.

Abstract: The invention relates to internal combustion engines of the reciprocal type, and more particularly to such engines in which the pressure for Diesel operation can be attained, or in which the power output of an Otto-cycle engine can be increased.The present invention makes possible either a Diesel engine of approximately the same axial crank offset and overall dimensions as an Otto-engine of equal throughput, or an Otto-engine having a higher throughput with slightly increased overall size and axial crank offset.Gas supply pressures are maintained in pressure boosters by two pressure impellers which are synchronized to engine operation, a vertical pressure impeller receiving a fuel-air mixture and the inverted pressure impeller receiving air. A rotary metering pressure booster meters an amount of the fuel-air mixture and forces it under pressure into a pressure retaining chamber above the cylinder chamber ready to be released upon demand.
