Abstract
An engine comprising one pair of scavenge ports alternately covered and uncovered by a piston, a richer air-fuel mixture and a leaner air-fuel mixture being separately fed into the cylinder from the scavenge ports, the richer air-fuel mixture flowing into the cylinder towards the inner wall thereof, located opposite the exhaust port, and the leaner air-fuel mixture flowing into the cylinder so that it overlays the richer air-fuel mixture.
Claims56
A two-stroke internal-combustion engine comprising:
- a cylinder block having a cylinder therein;
- a piston reciprocally movable in said cylinder, said cylinder having an inner wall which has a scavenge port and an exhaust port formed therein and being alternately covered and uncovered by said piston;
- a crankcase having therein an interior chamber, the pressure in said interior chamber being alternately increased and decreased due to the reciprocal motion of said piston;
- an intake passage having an air inlet and being connected to the interior chamber of said crankcase;
- a transfer passage interconnecting the interior chamber of said crankcase and said scavenge port, outside air being fed into said cylinder via an air passage defined by said intake passage, the interior chamber of said crankcase, and said transfer passage;
- fuel supply means arranged in said air passage for feeding fuel into said air passage so as to create an air-fuel mixture therein;
- and
- fuel-separating means arranged in said air passage for separating fuel from said air-fuel mixture so as to create a richer air-fuel mixture and a leaner air-fuel mixture, said scavenge port having such a construction that said rich air-fuel mixture flows into said cylinder towards the inner wall of said cylinder located opposite said scavenge port.
A two-stroke internal-combustion engine according to claim.44, wherein said fuel return-preventing device comprises a cylindrical vortex chamber, an outlet passage connected to said second scavenge port via said second transfer passage and being open to the center of said vortex chamber, and an inlet connected at one end thereof to said interior chamber and tangentially connected at the other end thereof to a cylindrical inner wall of said vortex chamber.
