Abstract This invention relates to new and useful improvements in the mechanism comprising the piston and piston connecting rod of the internal combustion engine. In the subject disclosure, the combustion pressure forces acting on the piston are transferred to the connecting rod through an intermediate linkage. The linkage is pivotly journaled to the piston at one end and to the connecting rod at the other end at a point below the connecting rod wrist pin. The upper extreme end of the connecting rod is pivotly journaled in a piston sleeve which is slidably mounted on the interior surfaces of the piston. The lower end of the connecting rod is rotatively mounted on the crankpin. Reactive forces generated by rotation of the crankpin about the crankshaft as its revolves are transmitted to the piston through the connecting rod and the intermediate linkage as a lever of the second class.
In an internal combustion engine, a piston, a piston slide slidably mounted inside said piston, a wrist pin extending transversly across said piston slide each end of which is pivotly mounted in said piston slide, a connecting rod having a small journal at one end which holds said wrist pin, below said small journal and positioned at one side of the longitudinal axis of said connecting rod a second small journal on said connecting rod, said second small journal holding a pin, the ends of said pin extending to both sides of said connecting rod, a connecting link being pivotly attached to each end of said pin, said connecting link holding a second pin also pivotly attached, said second pin extending transversely across said piston and journaled at each end in said piston, at the opposite end of said connecting rod a large journal for rotatively mounting on an internal combustion engine crankpin.
