Description

[0001] Statement Regarding Federally Funded Research and Development

[0002] The U.S. Government grants a paid-up license and limited rights to this invention to require the patentee to licensed to others under the terms, as provided by the terms of DE-FC-02-01CH11080 awarded by the Department of Energy Sample.

[0003] References to related applications

[0004] This application claims priority to US Patent Application Serial No. 11 / 265,870, filed November 3, 2005, and US Patent Application Serial No. 11 / 265,948, filed November 3, 2005, both entitled "Pistons." technical field

[0005] This invention relates to pistons for use in engines and the like. Background technique

[0006] Various types of engines use pistons in cylinder bores. Each piston is reciprocable within its associated cylinder bore when a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the piston is guided by the cylinder wall. The piston may include a piston skirt that is shaped to bear against the...

Embodiment Construction

[0027] refer to Figure 1A -B, the piston 100 can reciprocate in the cylinder bore 205 of the engine 200 (a part of the engine 200 has been removed from Figure 1A removed for a better view of piston 100). A layer of hydrodynamic oil or other lubricant may be applied to portions of the cylinder wall 210 to reduce friction between the piston 100 and the cylinder wall 210 . The piston 100 may be pivotally engaged with the piston rod 102 using a pin 104 . In this case, the piston 100 is pivotable relative to the rod 102 about a pivot or pin axis 105 . The pin connection allows the piston 100 to transmit force to or receive force from the piston rod 102 as the piston 100 reciprocates within the cylinder bore 205 . In certain embodiments, piston 100 is constructed in whole or in part of aluminum or aluminum alloys, carbon (e.g., carbon fiber and carbon / carbon), iron, steel, or other suitable materials, and may include combinations of the foregoing or other materials. .
