Abstract:
An engine cylinder with a piston and at least one, preferably two or four, cam-operated valves leading to the combustion chamber. A valve seat of the valve is formed in the cylinder wall immediately laterally adjacent to the cylinder bore or to the cylinder chamber. The valve axis and the cylinder axis enclose an acute angle A of 5°≦A≦25°, preferably 10°≦A≦20°. The axis of the inlet channel or the outlet channel leading to the valve seat in a plane defined by the valve axis and the cylinder axis is inclined at an angle B of 25°≦B≦65°, preferably 40°≦B≦50° to the valve axis.

Abstract:
The invention presents new and useful improvements in the mechanical design of control elements used in the sequencing of the exhaust and intake process cycles of the 4-stroke reciprocating piston engine. The exhaust and induction circuits pass through the same valve port and their flows are alternately controlled by the same poppet valve. The camshaft exhaust and intake lobes are combined into a single broad double-cycle lobe such that the poppet valve remains fully open at the end of the exhaust stroke permitting the intake stroke to begin with the poppet valve in the same fully open position without the attendant problem of exhaust gas dilution of the air charge entering the engine, as most generally associated with valve overlap in the conventional sequencing method using two poppet valves.The simplification of having only one poppet valve, one valve port, and one cam lobe per each engine cylinder reduces the engine manufacturing cost. The ability to complete the exhaust stroke and begin the intake stroke with the poppet valve in the fully open position increases the systems volumetric efficiency and reduces the pumping work, thus improving the engines specific fuel consumption.
Abstract:
A hydraulic valve lifter is disclosed which does not require a source of pressurized lubricating fluid, and is particularly suitable for engines using a splash lubrication system. The engine crankcase oil is transferred from the cam surface through a check valve into the pressure chamber of the lifter. The check valve is operated by the pressure differential between the chamber pressure and the pressure at the cam surface. The check valve may also be operated by the cam itself.
