Abstract

Reciprocating-piston combustion engine, has piston (2) connected to pulling and pressing rod guided parallel to the cylinder axis (ZA) and the pulling and pressing rod (6) interacts with a transmission lever (5) along the extended channel (50). The bearing (8) of the transmission lever is guided into the cylinder block traverse to the cylinder axis and adjustable by a control drive.
