Abstract
Abstract A two-cycle internal combustion engine includes a cylinder, a piston in the cylinder and a crankcase pump. The crankcase pump is divided into a first chamber and a second chamber by a membrane. At least one respective transfer passage connects each of the respective chambers to the cylinder. Inlets are provided for admitting pure air into the first chamber and for admitting carbureted air into the second chamber. Devices are provided for opening that one of the transfer passages communicating between the cylinder and the first chamber first and thereafter for opening the one of the transfer passages communicating between said cylinder and said second chamber during operation of the engine.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
201 words
A two-cycle internal combustion engine, the engine comprising a cylinder; a piston in said cylinder; at least one exhaust ports, at least one carbureted air intake port and at least one pure air inlet port in the cylindrical wall of said cylinder, all of said ports being covered and uncovered by said piston as it moves in said cylinder; a crankcase pump, said crankcase pump being divided into a first chamber and a second chamber by a membrane; at least one first transfer passage connecting said first chamber to said cylinder via said at least one pure air inlet port; at least one second transfer passage connecting said second chamber to said cylinder via said at least one carbureted air inlet port, said at least one pure air inlet port being position in said cylinder wall so as to be uncovered during downward movement of said piston in said cylinder ahead of said at least one carbureted air inlet port; means for admitting pure air into said first chamber; and means for admitting carbureted air into said second chamber, whereby the pure air supplied via said at least one pure air inlet port scavengers exhaust gases during operation of the engine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
201 words
A two-cycle internal combustion engine, the engine comprising a cylinder; a piston in said cylinder; at least one exhaust ports, at least one carbureted air intake port and at least one pure air inlet port in the cylindrical wall of said cylinder, all of said ports being covered and uncovered by said piston as it moves in said cylinder; a crankcase pump, said crankcase pump being divided into a first chamber and a second chamber by a membrane; at least one first transfer passage connecting said first chamber to said cylinder via said at least one pure air inlet port; at least one second transfer passage connecting said second chamber to said cylinder via said at least one carbureted air inlet port, said at least one pure air inlet port being position in said cylinder wall so as to be uncovered during downward movement of said piston in said cylinder ahead of said at least one carbureted air inlet port; means for admitting pure air into said first chamber; and means for admitting carbureted air into said second chamber, whereby the pure air supplied via said at least one pure air inlet port scavengers exhaust gases during operation of the engine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
An engine according to claim 1, wherein said first chamber contains a crankshaft of the engine and a connecting rod between said crankshaft and said piston, and means for supplying oil separately from fuel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
An engine according to claim 1, wherein said second chamber into which carbureted air is admitted contains a crankshaft of the engine and a connecting rod, said connecting rod extending between said crankshaft and said piston.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
An engine according to claim 1, including intake valve means for distributing air into at least one of said chambers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
An engine according to claim 4, wherein said valve means comprises at least one rotary valve.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
An engine according to claim 1, including means for distributing air into at least one of said chambers which includes said piston.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
An engine according to claim 4, wherein said intake valve means includes two intake valves, one for each of said chambers; and including controls for said two intake valves, said controls being mechanically coupled to a throttle.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
31 words
An engine according to claim 1, including a regulator, a valve controlled by said regulator, said valve communicating with at least one of said chambers whereby air intake thereinto is controlled.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
An engine according to claim 1, including an air intake filter means, air intake into said chambers being effected via said intake filter means.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
58 words
An engine according to claim 1, wherein said at least one said pure air inlet port and said at least one carbureted air inlet port are positioned so that pure air forms, in a combustion chamber defined by said cylinder and said piston, an aerodynamic screen between the carbureted air and said exhaust port formed in said cylinder.
