Patent ID: 8215269

Claim:
A two-stroke engine comprising a scavenging port for introduction of a working gas containing fuel, into a combustion chamber, and an exhaust port for discharge of gas in the combustion chamber therefrom, in which a piston connected to a crankshaft through a connecting rod reciprocates in the combustion chamber with rotary drive of the crankshaft, to control opening and closing of the scavenging port and the exhaust port, in which as the piston moves from a top dead center to a bottom dead center, the exhaust port and the scavenging port open in the order named, and in which as the piston moves from the bottom dead center to the top dead center, the scavenging port and the exhaust port close in the order named, wherein a connection position between the piston and the connecting rod is offset to the same side as a position of a connection center of the connecting rod to the crankshaft with the exhaust port becoming closed by the piston moving from the bottom dead center to the top dead center, with respect to a straight line passing a rotation center of the crankshaft and being parallel to reciprocating directions of the piston, and wherein the crankshaft has a first position in which the exhaust port is closed by the piston while moving toward top dead center, and a second position before the exhaust port is opened by the piston while moving toward bottom dead center, wherein the piston is in an identical position while the crankshaft is in the first position and the second position, wherein a first crank angle is formed between: a first line segment that connects the connection center of the connecting rod to the crankshaft and the rotation center of the crankshaft when the crankshaft is in the first position, and a second line segment that connects the connection center of the connecting rod to the crankshaft with the piston at bottom dead center and the rotation center of the crankshaft, wherein a second crank angle is formed between: a third line segment connecting the connection center of the connecting rod to the crankshaft and the rotation center of the crankshaft when the crankshaft is in the second position, and the second line segment, and wherein the first crank angle is smaller than the second crank angle.
