Abstract
Abstract A two cylinder engine has a reverse scavenging system with exhaust ports itioned on either front end of the cylinder block and directed towards areas without any ports which are located next to each other in the center of the engine. Intake ports are directed towards either side wall of each cylinder where they open into charge compartments which are closed, e.g., with covers whose dimensions will permit milling and core-pulling tools to have access to the intake ports. Between the port-free areas of the cylinders a gap is provided which connects the water jackets of the cylinders in the upper part and the charge compartments in the lower part thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
A water-cooled two-stroke internal combustion engine comprising two cylinders each having a water jacket, intake ports and exhaust ports and a piston which controls said ports, said intake ports being positioned on either side of said exhaust ports which in turn are located on front ends of the engine, said intake ports being directed towards longitudinal sides of the engine, and said cylinders having areas which do not have any of said ports, said areas being situated next to each other in the center of the engine, said engine further comprising fresh charge compartments located on either of said longitudinal sides and into which said intake ports open, and wherein a gap is provided between said port-free areas of said cylinders, which connects said water jackets of said two cylinders in the upper part and said two charge compartments in the lower part thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
144 words
