Abstract
An engine piston includes a piston head; a first bearing block forming a one-piece component with the piston head and having a first bearing face; a piston skirt being a component separate from the piston head; a second bearing block forming a one-piece component with the piston skirt and having a second bearing face; and a coupling device for interconnecting the piston head and the piston skirt and for interconnecting the first and second bearing blocks with one another. The first and second bearing faces complement one another to form a bearing for rotatably supporting a connecting rod.

An engine piston comprising
- (a) a piston head;
- (b) a first bearing block forming a one-piece component with said piston head and having a first bearing face;
- (c) a piston skirt being a component separate from said piston head;
- (d) a second bearing block forming a one-piece component with said piston skirt and having a second bearing face;
- and
- (e) coupling means for interconnecting said piston head and said piston skirt to provide for a relative motion between said piston head and said piston skirt and for interconnecting said first and second bearing blocks with one another;
- said first and second bearing faces complementing one another to form a bearing for rotatably supporting a connecting rod.
