Two cycle internal combustion engine

A variable speed, two-cycle, crankcase compression internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder, a piston working in the cylinder, a crankcase having a crank space below the cylinder, a combustion chamber above the piston and a fuel flow space immediately below the piston but above the crank space even in bottom dead center position of the piston, fuel intake porting and passage means for supplying fuel to the engine and including fuel intake porting in the cylinder wall confronting the bottom dead center position of the piston and being of sufficient axial dimension to supply fuel to said fuel space immediately below the piston throughout at least a substantial part of the upward stroke of the piston and further including a fuel tract approaching the cylinder in the region of said intake porting above said fuel space, a fuel transfer system having transfer porting through the cylinder wall above the piston in bottom dead center position and comprising passage means having uninterrupted communication with said fuel space, a fuel supply passage having communication with said fuel space below the piston throughout the cycle of the engine, the communication of the transfer passage means and of the fuel supply passage with said fuel space being independent of each other, and reed valve means controlling the fuel supply to said intake porting and to said fuel supply passage, the reed valve means including separate reed valves controlling the fuel supply to said intake porting and to said fuel supply passage.

A variable speed, two-cycle, crankcase compression internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder, a piston working in the cylinder, a crankcase having a crank space below the cylinder, a combustion chamber above the piston and wall structure surrounding the piston in bottom dead center position and defining a fuel flow space immediately below the piston but above the crank space even in bottom dead center position of the piston, fuel intake porting and passage means for supplying fuel to the engine and including fuel intake porting in the cylinder wall confronting the bottom dead center position of the piston and being of sufficient axial dimension to supply fuel to said fuel space immediately below the piston throughout at least a substantial part of the upward stroke of the piston and further including a fuel tract approaching the cylinder in the region of said intake porting above said fuel space, a fuel transfer system having transfer porting through the cylinder wall above the piston in bottom dead center position and comprising passage means providing uninterrupted intercommunication between said transfer porting and said tract, a passage in said wall structure defining the fuel space providing uninterrupted intercommunication between said fuel space and said fuel tract throughout the cycle of the engine, and reed valve means in said fuel tract for controlling the fuel supply to the engine.
