Abstract:
A connecting rod is adapted to extend between, and connect to, a crankshaft and a piston pin. The connecting rod includes first and second end portions, and an elongated rail. The first end portion is adapted to connect to the crankshaft. The second end portion is adapted to connect to the piston pin. The elongated rail longitudinally extends between the first and second end portions, and includes a first and second flanges, and a web. The first flange has opposite outer and inner first faces. The second flange has opposite outer and inner second faces. The web has opposite first and second surfaces, and laterally spans between, and is attached to, the inner first face and the inner second face. The inner first face and the inner second face, at least in-part, converge toward one-another as the rail extends from the first end portion to the second end portion.

Claim (Index 13):
A combustion engine connecting rod comprising:\n a first end portion defining a first bore centered to a first axis; a second end portion defining a second bore centered to a second axis, wherein the first bore is larger than the second bore; and an elongated rail extending along a centerline and spanning between and connected to the first and second end portions, the centerline disposed normal to and intersecting the first and second axes, the elongated rail including a web centered along the centerline and spanning laterally between and connected to first and second flanges of the elongated rail, wherein the first and second flanges are diametrically opposed and spaced radially outward from the centerline and each include an inner face and an outer face, and a thickness measured from and between the inner and outer faces increases as the elongated rail extends toward the second end portion such that the first flange and the second flange include a first thickness at the first end portion and a second thickness at the second end portion, the second thickness being greater than the first thickness.
