Abstract
Abstract An internal combustion engine has a main combustion chamber and an auxiliary combustion chamber defined within a thin-wall metallic cup formed of heat resistant material. The cup has a first aperture communicating with the main combustion chamber and a second aperture communicating with a spark plug. A first inlet valve introduces a lean combustible mixture into the main combustion chamber and a second inlet valve introduces a rich combustible mixture into the interior of the cup. A ported guide for the auxiliary inlet valve clamps a flange of the cup to hold it in place.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
In an internal combustion engine, the combination of: walls forming a main combustion chamber, walls forming a cavity for an auxiliary combustion chamber, a thin wall metallic cup formed of heat resistance material positioned in said cavity, said cup having a round bottom closing said cavity with respect to said main combustion chamber, a portion of said round bottom being exposed to said main combustion chamber, a spark plug supported near said cup having its electrodes outside said cup, said cup having a first aperture in said round bottom communicating with the main combustion chamber and a second aperture communicating with the spark plug electrodes, the interior of the cup comprising an auxiliary combustion chamber, valve means for introducing a lean combustible mixture into the main combustion chamber, and additional valve means for introducing a rich combustible mixture into the interior of said cup.
