Diesel engine for vehicle
First Claim
1. A two-cycle diesel engine for a vehicle, said engine being comprised of a cylinder block containing at least one cylinder bore closed at one end by a cylinder head and at the other end by a crankcase member for forming a crankcase chamber, a piston reciprocating in said cylinder bore, a crankshaft journaled in said crankcase chamber, a connecting rod connecting said piston to said crankshaft for driving said crankshaft, an exhaust port formed in one side of said cylinder bore and valved by the reciprocation of said piston, and a precombustion chamber formed in said cylinder head on said one side of said cylinder bore and communicating with a main combustion chamber formed by said cylinder head, said cylinder bore and said piston through a throat directed away from said exhaust port, the direction of rotation of said crankshaft being such that said piston tends to rotate about its connection with said connecting rod in a direction during the expansion stroke for moving the upper edge of said piston into engagement with the side of said cylinder bore where said exhaust port is formed.

Abstract
A two cycle, crankcase compression, diesel engine having a high specific output. This is achieved by using an appropriately sized and located precombustion chamber into which the fuel is injected. The porting and direction of crankshaft rotation insure against compression and combustion leakage.
