Two-stroke combustion engines

A two-cycle internal combustion engine comprising a working cylinder, a working piston operating within said working cylinder, a combustion chamber defined within said working cylinder on one side of said working piston, a partition wall forming a side of said working cylinder, a first compression chamber defined between the opposite side of said working piston and one side of said partition wall, a piston rod connected with said working piston and extending through said partition wall, a compression piston connected with said piston rod on the side of said partition wall opposite said first compression chamber, a second compression chamber defined between one side of said compression piston and said opposite side of said partition wall, exhaust gas outlet means for exhausting gas from said combustion chamber, first inlet means communicating through a first inlet port with said second compression chamber for supplying air thereto, first valve means between said first inlet means and said first port for enabling air flow toward said second compression chamber but blocking flow in a reverse direction, first conduit means extending in flow communication from a point between said first valve means and said first port to said exhaust gas outlet means for supplying air from within said second compression chamber to said exhaust gas outlet means, second valve means enabling air flow in said first conduit means toward said exhaust gas outlet means, but preventing flow in the reverse direction, second inlet means communicating through a second port with said first compression chamber, third valve means between said second port and said second inlet means for enabling flow toward said first compression chamber but preventing flow in a reverse direction, second conduit means extending in flow communication from a point between said second port and said third valve means to said combustion chamber and air-fuel mixture supply means for supplying a combustible mixture to said second inlet means, with compressed combustible mixture being supplied through operation of said working piston from said first compression chamber to said combustion chamber, and with compressed air being supplied by operation of said compression piston from said second compression chamber to said exhaust gas outlet means.
