Piston Of An Internal Combustion Engine With an Increased Inclination of The Box Walls of the Piston

A piston of an internal combustion engine that has a piston crown with annular grooves and a skirt part which is disposed on piston crown, wherein the skirt part has load-bearing skirt wall sections and the load-bearing skirt wall sections are connected by inclined connecting walls that are retracted with respect to the outer diameter of the piston, wherein pin bosses for accommodating a piston pin are disposed in the connecting walls, characterized in that the connecting walls are inclined at such an angle that, in progressing from a lower edge over an intermediate region that lies further back than the lower edge, the connecting walls go over as far as possible flush, into a boss supporting area below the piston crown in an end area that that lies further back than the intermediate region.
