portion of the transfer passage which is formed Within the cylinder casting is a recess at 33. The rest of the transfer passage is within the piston itself and comprises one or more vertical ducts 34 extending upwardly through the piston along the side remote from recess 33 and communicating with horizontal ducts 35 leading in the direc- 'I'he usev of a plurality of ducts is preferred because it gives mass and strength to the piston in a cellularconstruction which minimizes heat conductivity while at the same time giving a very substantial area of transfer passage.
The arrangement shown not only reduces heat conduction through the piston but also has a defi- -nite cooling effect on the piston attributable to the passage therethrough of the combustible mixture. A portion of the fuel used in carbureting the air of the mixture is vaporized and this has a definite cooling effect on the charge. The further vaporization of additional Aquantities. of fuel upon contact with hot surfaces of the piston results infurther absorption of heat therefrom. In an internal combustion hammer it is very important to limit heat transfer through the piston to preserve lubrication, to protect the spring and to avoid excessive heating of the liquid fuel in tank 30.
The cylinder wall recess 33 is completely closed by the piston in the compression position thereof. Its extent is barely suflicient to maintain communication across the piston head between ducts 35 and the firing chamber. Obviously gas compressed in the sub-piston portion of the cylinder is not even admitted to recess 33 until ducts 35 register therewith and is not admitted to the firing chamber until the piston head clears recess 33.
The foregoing disclosure will also make it apparent that, if the passages 35 were not provided,
Vheat would be more readily conducted from the piston head to the socket connection. Consequently, the passages not only limit the heat conducting area but also increase the heat radiating area.
The fact that thel gas transfer passages through the piston are subdivided to small cross section minimizes the possibility of a spring fragment reaching the combuston chamber where it would score the cylinder walls.
I claim: l
1. In an engine the combination with a cylinder having a combustion chamber anda sub-piston compression space, of a piston reciprocable in the cylinder and provided with a transfer passage leading toward the head of the piston and thence across the piston beneath the head, said cylinder having transfer passage means disposed to provide communication in the course of piston reciprocation between the piston passage and the combustion chamber, said passages limiting the heat conducting area and increasingA the heat radiating area.
2. In an engine the combination with a cylinder having a transfer recess in its wall, of a piston having in closer proximity to its head than the axial extent of said recess a plurality of transversev ducts extending through the piston and thence opening axially to the end of the piston remote from its head, said passages limiting the heat Vconducting area and increasing the heat radiating area.
3. In an internal combustion engine a piston provided beneath its head with a plurality of transverse bores crossing the piston from one side thereof and thence opening to the end of the piston remote from its head adjacent the other side thereof, said passages limiting the heat conducting area and increasing the heat radiating area.
4. An internal combustion hammer piston provided beneathA its head with a plurality of transverse bores crossing the piston from one side thereof, said piston having axially disposed passages adjacent one side and communicating with said transverse bores.
5. In an internal combustion, engine, the combination with a cylinder having a recessed wall, of a hammer piston reciprocal in the cylinder and provided with a plurality of transverse passages registrable with the recess and extending across the piston beneath its head to points adjacent the other side of the piston, said piston having axially disposed passages communicating withl the transverse passages and positioned in the side of the piston remote from said recess.
