Abstract
Abstract A device is provided for the pneumatic injection of fuel into a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, comprising an injection chamber in communication with the inner chamber of the cylinder through two orifices with each of which a valve is associated. The injector comprises two outlet channels each directed towards one of the orifices of said injection chamber. The valves are controlled so as to open and close simultaneously. The invention applies in particular to high power two-stroke engines.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A device for the pneumatic injection of fuel into a cylinder of an internal combustion reciprocating engine, comprising an injection chamber which may be placed in communication with the inner chamber of the cylinder through at least one valve controlled for injection at a given time in the operating cycle of the engine, the injection chamber being fed with pressurized gas through a duct and with liquid fuel through a liquid injector, opening in the injection chamber, wherein said injection chamber comprises two orifices opening into the chamber of the cylinder, with each of which is associated a valve and said injector comprises two outlet channels each directed to one of the orifices of the injection chamber.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
117 words
A device for the pneumatic injection of fuel into a cylinder of an internal combustion reciprocating engine, comprising an injection chamber which may be placed in communication with the inner chamber of the cylinder through at least one valve controlled for injection at a given time in the operating cycle of the engine, the injection chamber being fed with pressurized gas through a duct and with liquid fuel through a liquid injector, opening in the injection chamber, wherein said injection chamber comprises two orifices opening into the chamber of the cylinder, with each of which is associated a valve and said injector comprises two outlet channels each directed to one of the orifices of the injection chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The injection device as claimd in claim 1, wherein said valves are associated with control means for causing simultaneous opening and closing thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
The injection device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said injection chamber and said duct for supplying this chamber with pressurized gas are formed inside a cylinder head closing the chamber of the cylinder at its upper part.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
The injection device as claimed in claim 1, wherein nozzles are disposed in the injection chamber at the level of said orifices so that the outlet channels of the injector are directed towards the inner part of the nozzles.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
