Abstract
Abstract This invention discloses a thermally insulated piston having a cap portion and a body portion. The cap can be made of metal or ceramic. The cap and body portion are joined together by a brazing alloy. The cap portion can have a groove for receiving the brazing alloy. The ceramic cap can have a retaining band portion in a retaining band groove the band being bonded to the body portion by a brazing alloy. The piston with the ceramic cap can have an interlayer between the cap and body portion, the interlayer being bonded to the cap portion and body portion by a brazing alloy. The interlayer can have an outer knife edge. The body portion has a machined groove adjacent to the cap portion comprised of cells filled with thermal insulating material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A piston comprising: (a) a cap portion having an inner planar surface and (b) a body portion having a recess for receiving said cap portion, said recess having a first surface opposing said inner planar surface of said cap portion and, (c) an interlayer between said inner planar surface of said cap and said first surface of said body portion, said interlayer having an outer knife edge, said cap portion and said interlayer being bonded together by a first brazing alloy, said interlayer and said body portion being bonded together by a combination of a second brazing alloy bonding said interlayer to a steel disc and a third brazing alloy bonding said steel disc to said body portion wherein said body portion has a cellular portion adjacent to said interlayer comprised of cells filled with a thermal insulating material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
A piston comprising: (a) a cap portion having an inner planar surface and (b) a body portion having a recess for receiving said cap portion, said recess having a first surface opposing said inner planar surface of said cap portion and, (c) an interlayer between said inner planar surface of said cap and said first surface of said body portion, said interlayer having an outer knife edge, said cap portion and said interlayer being bonded together by a first brazing alloy, said interlayer and said body portion being bonded together by a combination of a second brazing alloy bonding said interlayer to a steel disc and a third brazing alloy bonding said steel disc to said body portion wherein said body portion has a cellular portion adjacent to said interlayer comprised of cells filled with a thermal insulating material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A piston according to claim 1 wherein said interlayer has a thermal expansion coefficient closely matched to said cap portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
