Abstract

Abstract In a cylinder head for internal combustion engines, the engine having a longitudinal axis and intake and exhaust ports, the head including at least one concave portion defining a curved wall of a combustion chamber, the combustion chamber being provided with at least two spark plugs, the improvement comprising, providing in the cylinder head, a fluid channel means which extends into a cone-like projection for cooling the central part of the combustion chamber. The cone-like projection is located between the spark plugs and extends into the combustion chamber.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 125 words
A cylinder head for a two and four cycle internal combustion engine, the cylinder head having at least one combustion chamber, each combustion chamber provided with at least a pair of spaced apart spark plugs, which ignite during each power stroke, provided in the cylinder head and protruding within the combustion chamber, the cylinder block defining a concavely curved roof for the combustion chamber with a central cone like projection extending downwardly into said combustion chamber, between the spark plugs, adapted to provide directed circulation of gases within the combustion chamber towards the respective spark plugs, and coolant flow channels provided in the cylinder head with a coolant flow channel defined in the central cone-like projection for cooling the central part of the combustion chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 125 words
A cylinder head for a two and four cycle internal combustion engine, the cylinder head having at least one combustion chamber, each combustion chamber provided with at least a pair of spaced apart spark plugs, which ignite during each power stroke, provided in the cylinder head and protruding within the combustion chamber, the cylinder block defining a concavely curved roof for the combustion chamber with a central cone like projection extending downwardly into said combustion chamber, between the spark plugs, adapted to provide directed circulation of gases within the combustion chamber towards the respective spark plugs, and coolant flow channels provided in the cylinder head with a coolant flow channel defined in the central cone-like projection for cooling the central part of the combustion chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 73 words
A cylinder head as defined in claim 1, wherein the coolant flow channels communicate throughout the cylinder head with an inlet port at one end of the cylinder head and an outlet port at the other end of the cylinder head and surround the spark plugs and in particular, communicate with the channel defined in the central cone-like projection so as to withdraw heat from the cylinder head uniformly about the combustion chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 67 words
The improvement as defined in claim 1, wherein said curved top wall terminates to define a circumferentially extending edge, said circumferentially extending edge defining a first area extending within the cross-sectional area of said combustion chamber and providing a second squish area, said squish area extending about said first area and sized such that it represents less than 40% of said cross-sectional area of said combustion chamber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
The improvement as defined in claim 3, wherein said squish area is sized such that it represents approximately 20% of said cross-sectional area of said combustion chamber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 40 words
A cylinder head as defined in claim 1, wherein the spark plugs are provided in spaced apart apertures, with the apertures each comprising a threaded bore, the respective longitudinal axes of the bores extending at an angle to each other.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 49 words
A cylinder head as defined in claim 5, wherein the respective longitudinal axis of the threaded bores extend angularly one to another and the longitudinal axes of the bore at a given combustion chamber are in a plane at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder head.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 31 words
A cylinder head as defined in claim 6, wherein the angle between the plane including the axes of the threaded bores and the longitudinal axis of the cylinder head is 25°.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 23 words
A cylinder head as defined in claim 5, wherein the longitudinal axes of the bores intersect each other at an angle of 40°.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 27 words
A cylinder head as defined in claim 8, wherein the longitudinal axes of the bores intersect at the intersection with the vertical axis of the combustion chamber.
