9'Claims.
This invention relates to crankcase induction valve means for two-cycle, internal combustion engines, and particularly two-cylinder, alternate firing engines.
The invention provides a crankcase induction reed valve unit which admits and directs the fuel mixture into the crankcase in streams directed radially from and arranged about the crankshaft passing through the crank chamber.
A principal object of'the invention is to provide a reed valve unit which will admit reater fuel charges more efficiently into the crank chamber.
i A further object is to provide a valve unit of maximum volumetric capacity without necessarily increasing the volumetric capacity of the crank chamber to accommodate the valve unit.
Another object is to provide a more efficient arrangement of the reeds with respect to the crank chamber of an engine.
A more particular object is to admit the fuel mixture into the main part of the crankcase chamber in the most direct manner whereby the engine will receive a greater amount of fuel charge with each stroke.
These and other objects and advantages will be more fully set forth ,in the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention as illustrated in the accompanyin drawings.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective View of the split bearing block adapted to support the center main bearing of an engine crank shaft and showing the passages as formed therein for the crankcase induction system of the engine;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the joined block showing the reed sections and rocker arms therefor as arranged on one face of the block;
Fig. 3 is a view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2 showing the mating surface of one of the members of the bearing block;
Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view of atwo-cycle.
alternate firing, two cylinder engine employing crankcase precompression with one piston cut away to show the intake ports and employing the open position and reed valve-center bearing block shown in Figs. 7
lto4;and 4,
Fig. v8 is a. horizontal transverse section of the engine shown in Fig. 7 viewing the valveblock I in plan as shown in Fig. 2.
The engine shown in the drawings includes the I cylinder block I and member 2 which join in a transverse plane passing through the axis of the engine crankshaft 3. Crankshaft 3 1s supported at each end in the journal'bearing as-' semblies 4 which close the opposite ends of the generally cylindrical crankcase 5 formed jointly.
Crank throws 9 and ID are spaced with respect to the crankshaft axis so that the pistons reciprocate in opposite directions for alternate firing or with each 180 of crankshaft rotation.
Crankcase 5 is divided into the separate upper and lower crank chambers II and 12 by the bearing block [3.
In the two-cycle operation of the engine, the.
fuel mixture is admitted into the cylinders through the corresponding passages I4 in the side of cylinder block I. Each passage l4 communicates with the respective crank chamber and opens through ports l5 into the respective cylinder bore 6. The exhaust gases are discharged through opposite ports 16 opening from each cylinder bore into suitable exhaust means,
not shown. The intake and exhaust ports of each bore arecontrolled by the respective piston which opens the ports at the lower end of each piston stroke and otherwise closes the ports during the compression and power stroke.
The precompression of the fuel mixture for transfer of the mixture through passages [4 to the respective cylinder and to displace the exhaust gases remaining in the fired cylinder is.
effected with each crank chamber by'the corresponding piston during the downward powe stroke.
The two complementary, semi-circular bearing. members I! comprising block, l3 are joined by bolts 18 passing therethrough on each side of a central axial bore l9- as shown in Fig. 3. Bore I9 is adapted to fit the center bearing 20 of crankshaft 3 between crank throws 9 and ID for:
the journal support of the crankshaft. The outer d1mension of members. I! fit the corresponding machined inner surfacesv of crankcase 5- to divide the latter into chambers H and [2.
The induction manifold passages 2| in memhers I! jointly registerwith the opening22 in}: crankcasemember 2; The carburetor 23 secured the opposite end of each reed being angularly disposed to deflect the fuel mixture passing through said ports radially of said crankshaft andagainst the adjacent wall of said chamber.

5. In a two-cycle, internal combustion engine having a crankshaft and a crank chamber receiving a fuel mixture for precompression, said chamber being substantially cylindrical and having a circular end wall spaced from the crank and normal to the axis of crank rotation, a series of ports opening into said chamber from said end wall for the delivery of fuel mixture thereto, a series of flexible reeds having a common circumferentially extending base strip secured upon said end wall, each reed extending radially from said strip over a respective port normally closing the latter and being disposed to be removed from said end wall to open said port and to deflect the fuel mixture entering said chamber against the side walls of said chamber adjacent the end wall thereof and around the crank into the center of the chamber, and a circumferentially extending member secured to said end wall over said base strip and having a radially projecting arm extending over each of said reeds to limit the movement of said reeds.
