| 6062125 | Piston-cylinder assembly In a piston-cylinder assembly with a shaftless piston, the aim is to improve the lateral guidance of the connecting rod, to reduce edge wear and the seizing tendency in the event of fault during the combustion process. Consequently, the piston has at leas... | 05/16/2000 |
| 5158008 | Light plunger piston for internal combustion engines A piston having a head with ring grooves, a skirt having hub bores, and a pin, with the following dimensions: L/D=0.45-0.8 H/D=0.25-0.5 A/D=0.3-0.5 T/D=0.45-0.8 where L=maxium length of the piston D=maximum diameter of the piston H=compression height A=maximum skir... | 10/27/1992 |
| 5048398 | Single, light-weight and low friction light-metal piston for internal-combustion engines The technical problem is to reduce the operating noise of such a piston. It is solved by means of a piston having the following dimensions: a) A=(0.45-0.65) D; b) H=(0.25-0.4) D; c) A=(0.3-0.4) D; d) A greater than or equal to B; e) T=(0.45-0.8) D; f) the... | 09/17/1991 |
| 5042364 | Piston structure for internal combustion engine A piston structure includes protection of the peripheral edge portion of a lubricant injection nozzle receptacle cut-out. The piston structure employs mechanisms for reinforcing the peripheral edge portion of the cut-out to an extent that can avoid concen... | 08/27/1991 |
| 4987866 | Light alloy piston for internal combustion engines A light-alloy piston for internal combustion engine, is formed in the piston head with a combustion chamber recess. The stresses which are induced at the rim of the combustion chamber recess by the ignition pressure are reduced by the provision of an inwa... | 01/29/1991 |
| 4730547 | Pistons and piston castings A piston casting for forming a piston for an internal combustion engine or compressor comprises a generally cylindrical crown (10) having a ring belt (11) extending around the crown for the formation therein of one or more piston ring grooves. A gudgeon p... | 03/15/1988 |
