  • the cylinder 9 and crankcase 17 is shown in a longitudinal cross-section, but the piston 7 is shown in a side view. This makes it easier to see the recess 24 in the piston.
  • the piston is partially cut away to make all ports in the cylinder wall visible.
  • This engine has two transfer ducts 3, but only one is visible, but could also have three, four or five or possibly one. This means that the recess 24 shown in the piston cooperate with ports above the plane of the paper while the recess on the not visible backside of the piston cooperate with the shown ports 5, 22.

  • the air-fuel inlet port 27 is ported by the piston 7 and a mixture of air and fuel will be sucked down into the crankcase volume 4 through the intake port 27 when the piston has risen above the intake port 27.
  • Two additional air conduits 21 each connects to a corresponding air supply port 22 of the cylinder wall 29 for supply of additional air to the transfer ducts 3.
  • the air supply port 22 is connected to the transfer port 5 via a recess 24 in the piston 7 at certain piston positions.

  • the additional air valve 19 is connected to the throttle valve 14 by a coupling member (not shown) that provides a lost motion connection between the additional air valve 19 and the throttle valve 14.
  • the lost motion connection enables a certain motion of the throttle valve 14 for the air-fuel mixture before throttle valve for the additional air starts moving, whereby no additional air will be supplied at lower end speeds, including idle speed. Since the additional air valve 19 is closed, at least partly, during the start of the engine; the under pressure created downstream of the additional air valve 19 in the additional air conduit 21 is increased.

  • the piston 34 is connected by means of a piston rod 39 to a valve member 40 cooperating with a valve seat 41.
  • the valve cylinder 33 has a compression spring 42 therein resiliently actuating the piston 34 to be moved to the left-hand side in the drawings so as to bring the valve member 40 to assume an open position.
  • the left-hand end of the cylinder 33 is connected to the atmosphere via a bore 43 in the cylinder wall, thereby ensuring that atmospheric pressure will always be present on the left-hand side of the piston 34.
  • valve member 40 is shown in its open position, in which gases from the engine cylinder 9 may pass the valve member 40 and be discharged to atmosphere via a plurality of bores 44 annularly spaced around the valve housing 32.
  • the openings 44 may be connected via a passage (not shown) to the left-hand end of the cylinder 33, whereby the bore 43 may be omitted.
  • the valve member 40 is held in the open position by the spring 42, whereby when the crankshaft is rotated in order to start the engine, the compression in the engine cylinder 9 will be substantially lower than its normal value, and this essentially reduces the power required for rotating the crankshaft to start the engine.
  • an underpressure is created in the additional air duct 21, especially downstream of the at least partially closed additional air valve 19 (Fig. 1) and this underpressure actuates the piston 34 via the conduit 37 so as to move the piston 34 to the right-hand side in the drawing against the action of the spring 42, whereby the decompression valve 30 will be closed by the valve member 40 sealing against the valve seat 41.
  • an overpressure will be created alternately in the crankcase 17, namely during the phase in which the air/fuel mixture is compressed by the downward movement of the piston 7.
  • the check valve 38 is closed in this phase, actuation of the decompression valve 30 by the overpressure is prevented, and the valve member 40 remains in the closed position.
  • the combustion pressure in the engine cylinder 9 also contributes to maintaining the valve member 40 in its closed position.
  • the degree of opening/closing of the additional air valve 19 is controlled by a linkage between the throttle valve of the carburetor and the additional air valve 19. Since the additional air valve 19 will be open at high engine speeds, there will be less undesirable reduction of the compression in the engine.
  • the decompression valve 30 opens in that the spring 42 displaces the valve member 40 from its closed to its open position. It is important that the opening takes place without any essential delay in order to facilitate immediate restart of the engine, if required. Therefore, the underpressure in the valve cylinder 33 must be restored rapidly to atmospheric pressure, and to this end the valve piston 34 has a small gap 45 allowing a controlled flow of atmospheric air to pass the piston 34.
  • the air flow is preferably selected so as to open the valve member 40 within a preferred, short period of time, for example 1-2 seconds after the engine has stopped. Instead of the gap 45, a corresponding bleed opening allowing a controlled entry of atmospheric air may be provided in the conduit 37 between the valve cylinder 33 and the check valve 38.
  • the present invention is not restricted to the preferred embodiment shown in the drawings but can be varied within the scope of the appended claims.
  • the number, position and orientation of the conduits or ducts and their associated ports may be as disclosed in anyone of US 2002/0043227 Al, US 2003/ 0029398 Al, WO 2004/005692 Al, WO 2008/111880 Al and US 6,928,996 B2, if desired.
  • the additional air valve 19 could be controlled independently from the throttle valve 14 of the carburetor.
  • the shown embodiment is a so called piston-ported engine considering the supply of additional air.
  • the engines could have their additional air supplied directly to their transfer ducts 3 through check valves, also called Reed valves.
  • the feed of air would be improved by giving improved conditions at different speeds for feeding of the additional air.
  • the invention is applicable for providing a longer service life and a better function to automatic decompression valve arrangements in small crankcase-scavenged two-stroke engines used primarily in handheld working tools, such as chains aws, for example.
