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 of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine includes: a piston skirt; a grooved ring belt on a first axial side of the piston skirt, the ring belt grooves being limited by, and separated from one another by, ring lands, the ring grooves for receiving a piston ring; and an oil collection channel between the piston skirt and the ring belt. The oil collection channel has a greater depth than in the circumferential position of a coupling side of the piston and/or in the circumferential position of a coupling opposite side of the piston. The oil collection channel has a gradient, the gradient emanating from an axial depth in a region of the coupling side and/or of the coupling opposite side in the direction of the axial depth in the region of the pressure side and/or of the pressure opposite side.

A side housing for a rotary internal combustion engine, has: a side wall; a side plate having a rotor-engaging side facing away from the side wall and a back side opposite the rotor-engaging side and facing the side wall, the side plate defining first threads located on the back side, the first threads extending circumferentially around a central axis of the side plate; and a nut rotatable relative to the side wall about the central axis of the side plate and axially locked to the side wall relative to the central axis, the side plate secured to the side wall via a threaded engagement between the first threads of the side plate and second threads defined by the nut.

A piston assembly is for a fluid delivery device, preferably a lubricant injector, the injector having a measuring chamber defined by an inner cylindrical surface and an axial end face, a flow port through the end face, and a central axis extending through the chamber. The piston assembly includes a piston body disposeable within the chamber so as to be linearly displaceable along the central axis. The piston body includes a cylindrical head, the head having first and second axial ends and an outer circumferential surface, and a rod extending axially from the second axial end of the piston head. A seal is coupled with the first axial end of the piston head and has an annular lip sealingly engageable with the chamber inner cylindrical surface and an axial end engageable with the chamber end face.

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.
