Abstract The present invention relates to a breather device for overhead valve engines characterized by being provided with a breather chamber arranged on the side of a cylinder or crank chamber, a push rod chamber formed on the side of and integrally with said cylinder or crank chamber and a cylinder head and making the periphery of each push rod housed within it a blow-by gas passage connecting the above mentioned crank chamber with a rocker chamber and a blow-by gas discharging passage connecting the above mentioned rocker chamber and breather chamber with each other, whereby the pressure fluctuation within the crank chamber can be utilized to utilize the ventilating action of a one-way breather valve, to thereby lubricate the rocker chamber, to need no oil pump and to reduce the cost and the rigidity of the cylinder including the crank case and of the cylinder head can be elevated.
A breather device for overhead valve engines, comprising a breather chamber, a crank chamber and a cylinder having a piston movable in said cylinder and a crank member connected to said piston disposed below said cylinder, a push rod chamber formed on one side of and integrally with said cylinder and said crank chamber, said cylinder having a cylinder head and defining a rocker chamber to one side of said cylinder, a push rod housed within said rocker chamber and said crank chamber, a blow by gas discharging passage formed around the periphery of said push rod and connecting said rocker chamber and said breather chamber, an air cleaner adjacent said breather chamber, a second breather chamber connected to said air cleaner, a one way breather valve allowing only the flow of gas from said breather chamber to said second breather chamber located between said breather chamber and said second breather chamber, said blow by gas discharging passage being opened at one end in the upper part of said rocker chamber and at its other end in said breathing chamber.
