Abstract
Abstract A two stroke engine having an exhaust port formed in the cylinder wall. At the upper portion of the exhaust port, there is provided a rotary type exhaust timing control valve which is adapted to be rotatably actuated to control the exhaust timing in accordance with the engine speed. The control valve is interconnected with the engine starting mechanism so that the control valve is forcedly driven by the starting mechanism to thereby eliminate valve seizure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
A two-stroke engine comprising cylinder means, piston means which is received in said cylinder means for reciprocating movement, said cylinder means having exhaust port means adapted to be closed by said piston means, exhaust port timing control rotary valve means provided in said exhaust port means at upper portion thereof, said valve means being movable between a projected position wherein it is projected into the exhaust port means to thereby cover the upper portion of the exhaust port means and a retracted position wherein it is retracted from the exhaust port means, valve actuating means for actuating the valve means between said projected and retracted positions in accordance with engine speed, engine starting means for cranking said engine for starting the same, said valve means being connected with said engine starting means so that the valve means is actuated during engine starting operation to thereby eliminate valve seizure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
A two-stroke engine comprising cylinder means, piston means which is received in said cylinder means for reciprocating movement, said cylinder means having exhaust port means adapted to be closed by said piston means, exhaust port timing control rotary valve means provided in said exhaust port means at upper portion thereof, said valve means being movable between a projected position wherein it is projected into the exhaust port means to thereby cover the upper portion of the exhaust port means and a retracted position wherein it is retracted from the exhaust port means, valve actuating means for actuating the valve means between said projected and retracted positions in accordance with engine speed, engine starting means for cranking said engine for starting the same, said valve means being connected with said engine starting means so that the valve means is actuated during engine starting operation to thereby eliminate valve seizure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
132 words
A two-stroke engine in accordance with claim 1 in which said valve actuating means is a centrifugal governor means including rotor shaft means rotated by engine crankshaft means, guide plate means secured to said rotor shaft means to rotate therewith, slidable plate means provided on said rotor shaft means so that it rotates with but axially slidable with respect to said rotor shaft means, biasing means for urging said slidable plate means toward said guide plate means, centrifugal weight means disposed between said guide and slidable plate means so as to be displaced radially outwardly under centrifugal force produced therein to thereby force said slidable plate means axially against the biasing means, and means for converting an axial movement of the slidable plate means into a rotation of the rotary valve means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
A two-stroke engine in accordance with claim 2 in which said engine starting means is an engine starting rotatable shaft which is adapted to be rotated by an external force, means being provided for transmitting a rotating movement of the starting shaft into an axial movement of the slidable plate means to thereby rotate the valve means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
62 words
A two-stroke engine in accordance with claim 2 in which said engine starting means is an engine starting rotatable shaft which is adapted to be rotated by an external force, said starting shaft means has cam means and cam follower means is provided to produce axial movements of said slidable plate means in response to a rotation of the starting shaft means.
