Abstract
An exhaust timing control device for a two-cycle internal combustion engine, in which a valve member functioning as the upper edge of an exhaust port that opens into the inner circumference of a cylinder is disposed in the upper wall of an exhaust passage from said exhaust port. A valve hole having an elongated cross-section is opened in the wall of the exhaust passage in the vicinity of the exhaust port, and is formed at an inclination with respect to the axis of said cylinder. The valve member is arranged slidably in said valve hole so that it can be retracted into said valve hole until the leading end portion thereof becomes substantially coextensive with the inner wall surface of said exhaust passage.
Claims3
In an internal combustion engine having a cylinder with a cylindrical inner wall, a cylinder axis, a cylinder head, and a piston slidably fitted in said cylinder, thereby to form a combustion chamber, said inner wall having an exhaust port opening into said chamber, an exhaust passage departing laterally from said exhaust port, said passage having a passage wall, exhaust timing means comprising:
- said wall of said exhaust port having a valve hole formed at an oblique angle to said cylinder axis and opening into said exhaust passage adjacent to said exhaust port, a valve member slidably fitted in said valve hole for movement therein at said angle so as to be withdrawable toward the wall of said exhaust passage, and to be extendible to approach said exhaust port at an elevation lower than the upper edge of said exhaust port.
