Description: |
| Abstract:
his invention relates to internal combustion engines and refers more particularly to the valve-in-head type. One object of this invention resides in an engine of the afore said type which will afford increased efficiency, increased power, and generally improved engine performance. I have provided a novel cylinder head construction for valve-in-head engines which will provide turbulence for the fuel mixture during the compression of the combustible charge. In engines of the aforesaid type it is customary to locate the valve combustion chamber over the cylinder, this general arrangement not affording the desirable turbulence for the fuel mixture.
Claim:
A cylinder head for an engine cylinder and associated piston having a combustion 86 chamber above the cylinder and having intake and exhaust valves substantially aligned longitudinally of the engine and carried by the cylinder head in the top of the combustion chamber and opening inwardly of the combustion chamber toward the piston face; said cylinder head having an inwardly extending part closely overlying a portion of the piston when in the outer limit of travel for producing turbulence of the fuel mixture, a said cylinder head part being recessed, and a sparking device within said recess. |
