Cooperating keys 12 are preferably seated in appropriate grooves below the key .11, but said keys 1% may be 5 omitted if desired. ln'eare the keys 12 are used there will be one at each side of the piston, said keys 12 being in the form of narrow plates seated'in grooves in the piston and being held from displacement by the cylinder wall'when the piston is operating.
The piston above the wrist pin is finished in such manner that it will press closely against the cylinder wall and form such close contact as to rende' unnecessary the use of piston rings or packing.
In the construction of the piston a bolt 13 is passed through holes in the projections 6 and the nut 14% on the bolt is turned until the connections 3., above the wrist pin, are
bent or placed under tension, the segmental sections of the upper part of the piston be ing drawn to the positiiins which they oe cupy when the ring is under compression in a cylinder. ll hile the piston is thus held under tension it is finished, the finished out lines of the piston being indicated by dotted lines 15 (Fig. l) by reference to which it :will be observed that the upper ring 2 is so fleft of slightly larger diameter than the lower portion of the piston. In its finished shape the lower portion of the piston is of slightly. less diameter than the diameter of the cylinder for which it is intended, while the upper portion of the piston. while under compression is of the same diameter as the diameter of the cylinder in which the piston is intended to operate. The lower ring 1 of the piston may also be formed with av numher of circumferential oil grooves 16 for containing lubricant that will be applied to the will of the cylinder durin operation of the piston therein.
After the piston has been finished the nut 14: is turned back to 'iermit'the upper portion of the piston to expand so that when the piston is applied within a cylinder the resiliency of the metal will cause the upper portion of the piston to press closely against the cylinder wall all around. The nut 14: may be held from turning on the bolt by any device suitable for that purpose 'as, for instance, by a plate spring 17 engaging in. groove or recess in the top plate of the piston and bearing against one of the side walls of the nut. l'ly accurate adjustment of the nut on the bolt part of the expansive force of the upper portion of: the piston may be relieved vfrom the cylinder wall. This may be ell'ected by turning the nut on the bolt to position so as to limit the extent ofexpansion of the upper portion of the piston.
As shown in Fig. 6, the upper edge of the ring 1 is beveledto provide a scraping edge 6e 18 and the lower edge of the ring 5% is bevneon-ass eled to provide a scraping edge 19. The scrapers l8 and 19 during operation of the piston scrape the oil from the cylinder wall.
