Abstract
Abstract A two-cycle engine of the crank chamber preloading type of the construction in which a crankcase, a cylinder head and a cylinder are clamped together by a plurality of clamping members penetrating the cylinder includes a suction port formed in a wall of the cylinder, an exhaust port formed on a side of the cylinder opposite the suction port, at least one main scavenging port disposed between the suction port and the exhaust port and directed toward the suction port, and at least one ancillary scavenging port disposed above the suction port and juxtaposed against the exhaust port. At least one ancillary scavenging passage branching from at least one main scavenging passage and communicating with the ancillary scavenging port extends around an opening for one of clamping members on the suction side.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A two-cycle engine of the crank chamber preloading type comprising: a cylinder head; a crankcase; a cylinder interposed between said cylinder head and said crankcase; a plurality of clamping members penetrating said cylinder to clamp together said cylinder head, said cylinder and said crankcase; a piston arranged in said cylinder for sliding reciprocating movement; a suction port and an exhaust port formed in the wall of said cylinder; at least one main scavenging port formed in the wall of said cylinder and communicating with a crank chamber in said crankcase via a main scavenging passage; and at least on ancillary scavenging port formed in the wall of said cylinder and communicating with said crank chamber via an ancillary scavenging passage; wherein the improvement resides in that said ancillary scavenging port extends through the wall of said cylinder in a manner to surround the outside of one of said clamping member receiving openings.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A two-cycle engine of the crank chamber preloading type comprising: a cylinder head; a crankcase; a cylinder interposed between said cylinder head and said crankcase; a plurality of clamping members penetrating said cylinder to clamp together said cylinder head, said cylinder and said crankcase; a piston arranged in said cylinder for sliding reciprocating movement; a suction port and an exhaust port formed in the wall of said cylinder; at least one main scavenging port formed in the wall of said cylinder and communicating with a crank chamber in said crankcase via a main scavenging passage; and at least on ancillary scavenging port formed in the wall of said cylinder and communicating with said crank chamber via an ancillary scavenging passage; wherein the improvement resides in that said ancillary scavenging port extends through the wall of said cylinder in a manner to surround the outside of one of said clamping member receiving openings.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A two-cycle engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein said ancillary scavenging passage is connected to said main scavenging
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
72 words
A two-cycle engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein said exhaust port is located on a side of the cylinder opposite said suction port, said main scavenging port is at least two in number with each main scavenging port being disposed between the suction port and the exhaust port and directed toward the suction port, and said ancillary scavenging port is disposed above said suction port and juxtaposed against the exhaust port.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
A two-cycle engine as claimed in claim 3, wherein said ancillary scavenging port is two in number and arranged in such a manner that the axes of the two ancillary scavenging ports on the inner wall surface of the cylinder are substantially parallel to each other.
