Abstract
Abstract The present invention is to provide a cylinder head for air-cooled engines wherein a part of the top wall is depressed to form a rocker arm chamber and a cooling wind passage reaching the upper part of a suction port from the side of an exhaust port is formed between the bottom wall of the rocker arm chamber and the upper wall of a cylinder fitting surface, whereby the advantage of the performance of a conventional overhead valve engine is retained as it is, the defect of the increase of the height is kept as little as possible and the cooling performance is not reduced.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
217 words
A cylinder head with a head body for an overhead valve, air-cooled engine having a rocker arm chamber (c), a suction port (21) and an exhaust port (7), comprising a part of a top wall of the cylinder head being depressed downwardly to form said rocker arm chamber (c) and defining a top of a first cooling wind passage (H) which extends over an upper part (15) of said suction portion, said part of the top wall of the cylinder head extending from a side of said exhaust port (7), said first passage (H) formed between a bottom wall (14) of said rocker arm chamber (c) and an upper wall of a cylinder fitting surface (10) of said head, said suction port (21) extending from a top of said upper wall of said cylinder fitting surface, a fin (17) extending around said first passage on a side thereof opposite said exhaust port (7), and a cooling wind guide (19) for guiding a cooling wind to a spark plug side of head, formed integrally with said cylinder head body on a side thereof opposite said cooling first cooling wind passage (H) and near said exhaust port (7) to form a second cooling wind passage (K), said first and second passages passing on opposite sides of said exhaust port.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
217 words
A cylinder head with a head body for an overhead valve, air-cooled engine having a rocker arm chamber (c), a suction port (21) and an exhaust port (7), comprising a part of a top wall of the cylinder head being depressed downwardly to form said rocker arm chamber (c) and defining a top of a first cooling wind passage (H) which extends over an upper part (15) of said suction portion, said part of the top wall of the cylinder head extending from a side of said exhaust port (7), said first passage (H) formed between a bottom wall (14) of said rocker arm chamber (c) and an upper wall of a cylinder fitting surface (10) of said head, said suction port (21) extending from a top of said upper wall of said cylinder fitting surface, a fin (17) extending around said first passage on a side thereof opposite said exhaust port (7), and a cooling wind guide (19) for guiding a cooling wind to a spark plug side of head, formed integrally with said cylinder head body on a side thereof opposite said cooling first cooling wind passage (H) and near said exhaust port (7) to form a second cooling wind passage (K), said first and second passages passing on opposite sides of said exhaust port.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
A cylinder head for air-cooled engines according to claim 1 wherein said cooling wind guide is a loosely bent L-shaped cooling wind guide having a first plate surface substantially parallel with the flow of the cooling wind and a second plate surface bent downwardly at a fixed angle from said first plate surface.
