A device lubricates a connecting rod bearing on a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine. The device has a piston having an internal piston cooling fluid channel, and an outlet channel in fluid communication with the fluid channel. The device has a connecting rod, which is connected to the piston in an articulated, in particular pivotable, manner, and has a large connecting rod eye and a connecting channel. The large connecting rod eye is formed for receiving the connecting rod bearing. The connecting channel forms a fluid connection between the outlet channel and the large connecting rod eye so that a fluid, in particular a cooling lubricating fluid (e.g. oil), can be fed, or is fed, from the fluid channel to the large connecting rod eye via the outlet channel and the connecting channel. The connecting rod bearing can be lubricated by cooling oil from the fluid channel of the piston.

A two-stroke engine piston (1) is disclosed comprising a piston top (3), a mantle surface (5), a stratified scavenging channel (7) in the mantle surface (5), and a weight reduction space (9) arranged between the piston top (3) and the stratified scavenging channel (7). The weight reduction space (9) has a largest first axial extent (a1) at the mantle surface (5) and a second axial extent (a2) radially inside the mantle surface (5), and wherein the second axial extent (a2) is greater than the largest first axial extent (a1). The present disclosure further relates to an engine (30), a hand-held tool (40), and a method of manufacturing an engine piston (1).

A piston for a compressor and a compressor including the same are disclosed. The piston is used in a compressor which compresses and discharges refrigerant suctioned into a cylinder. The piston includes a cylindrical slider and a head. The slider has an outer diameter corresponding to an inner diameter of the cylinder and defines a suction space in which the refrigerant suctioned in the cylinder is received. The head is coupled to the slider, in which a compression space is provided in the front and a suction space is provided in the rear, and in which a suction port communicating with the suction space and the compression space is formed, in which the head includes an inner body and an outer body surrounding the inner body, and the suction port is formed between the inner body and the outer body.

The present disclosure provides an open-faced piston with a circumferential groove into which a piston ring assembly is arranged. Openings at the bottom of the circumferential groove and between a front land of the open-faced piston and the piston face are provided. The openings are arranged to allow for a combustion reaction to propagate through the volume defined between the bottom of the piston ring assembly and the piston face such that at least a portion of an air and fuel mixture located in that volume is reacted.

A piston assembly for an internal combustion engine of a motor includes a piston head having an outer diameter surface spaced a first distance from the longitudinal axis and an annular surface spaced a second distance from the longitudinal axis, with the second distance being less than the first distance. Upper and lower walls extend between the annular surface and the outer diameter surface so as to define an annular groove in the outer diameter surface. A piston ring is received within the annular groove and includes an inner diameter surface facing the annular surface of the piston head. The inner diameter surface of the piston ring and the annular surface of the piston head cooperate with one another to define a plurality of pockets angularly spaced from one another about the longitudinal axis and configured to receive oil.

Piston blank for a piston, comprising a piston lower part, which comprises a first joining surface running around a central axis of the piston blank, and a piston upper part, which comprises a second joining surface running around the central axis and an inner surface running around the central axis and adjoining the second joining surface as viewed along the central axis, wherein the piston upper part can be placed with its second joining surface on the first joining surface, and wherein a tangential plane which is assigned to the second joining surface is inclined relative to the central axis such that the tangential plane intersects the inner surface.

An engine includes a cylinder liner and a piston movable within the cylinder liner, a crevice formed between a top land of the piston and the cylinder liner, and an oil entry clearance formed between a top ring of the piston and the cylinder liner. The engine also includes an abnormal combustion inhibitor having an oil recapture surface exposed to the crevice and oriented to limit migration of oil from the crevice toward a combustion chamber in the engine. The abnormal combustion inhibitor includes a groove structure having as a substrate at least one of the cylinder liner or the piston. Related methodology is also disclosed.

An internal combustion engine includes a hollow cylinder, a piston within the hollow cylinder, and a cylinder head. A base valve assembly at a base of the hollow cylinder permits or restricts fluid flow from an intake manifold into a sub-chamber below the piston. The piston includes at least one intake port connecting a combustion chamber above the piston with the sub-chamber, and a transfer valve that opens and closes the at least one intake port. When the transfer valve opens the at least one intake port, fluid is permitted to flow from the sub-chamber to the combustion chamber. The internal combustion engine operates according to a four-stroke piston cycle, wherein multiple intake stages are provided. The intake stages may include intake of air into the sub-chamber during a compression stroke, transfer of air from the sub-chamber to the combustion chamber during a power stroke, intake of air-fuel mixture into the sub-chamber during an exhaust stroke, and transfer of air-fuel mixture from the sub-chamber to the combustion chamber during an intake stroke.
