Abstract
Abstract A two-stroke diesel engine comprising a pair of intake valves arranged on one side of the inner wall of the cylinder head, and a pair of exhaust valves arranged on the other side of the inner wall of the cylinder head. The valve openings of the intake valves, which are located on the exhaust valve side, are covered by corresponding masking walls. A prechamber is formed in the cylinder head, and the opening of the prechamber is arranged in the peripheral inner wall portion of the cylinder head, which is positioned farthest from the exhaust valves, between the intake valves.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A two-stroke diesel engine comprising: a cylinder head having an inner wall; a pair of intake valves arranged on one side of the inner wall of said cylinder head; exhaust valve means arranged on another side of the inner wall of said cylinder head; a pair of masking walls each formed on the inner wall of said cylinder head to mask valve openings of said intake valves, which are located on said exhaust valve means side; a prechamber formed in said cylinder head and having an opening forward in a peripheral portion of the inner wall of said cylinder head, which portion is farthest from said exhaust valve means, between said intake valves; and a fuel injector arranged in said prechamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A two-stroke diesel engine comprising: a cylinder head having an inner wall; a pair of intake valves arranged on one side of the inner wall of said cylinder head; exhaust valve means arranged on another side of the inner wall of said cylinder head; a pair of masking walls each formed on the inner wall of said cylinder head to mask valve openings of said intake valves, which are located on said exhaust valve means side; a prechamber formed in said cylinder head and having an opening forward in a peripheral portion of the inner wall of said cylinder head, which portion is farthest from said exhaust valve means, between said intake valves; and a fuel injector arranged in said prechamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
A two-stroke diesel engine according to claim 1, wherein the distance between an unmasked peripheral portion of each intake valve and a peripheral and portion of the inner wall of said cylinder head becomes large toward said opening.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
86 words
A two-stroke diesel engine according to claim 1, wherein said exhaust valve means comprises a pair of exhaust valves arranged symmetrically with respect to a symmetrical plane including an axis of a cylinder of the engine, and said intake valves are arranged symmetrically with respect to said symmetrical plane, said opening being arranged on said symmetrical plane and directed toward a central portion of a main chamber along said symmetrical plane, the distance between said intake valves being larger than the distance between said exhaust valves.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A two-stroke diesel engine according to claim 3, wherein said opening has a transverse width which is smaller than the distance between said intake valves.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
A two-stroke diesel engine according to claim 4, wherein the transverse width of said opening is larger than the distance between said exhaust valves.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
A two-stroke diesel engine according to claim 1, wherein a pair of depressions are formed on the inner wall of said cylinder head, and said intake valves are arranged in said corresponding depressions, each of said depressions having a semi-cylindrical peripheral wall portion which forms said masking wall.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
Two-stroke diesel engine according to claim 6, wherein each of said depressions has a conical peripheral wall portion located opposite to said masking wall and diverging toward a main chamber.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
30 words
A two-stroke diesel engine according to claim 1, wherein said cylinder head has intake ports therein and thin walled solid portions are arranged between said prechamber and each intake port.
