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 1):
A connecting rod adapted to extend between and connect to a crankshaft and a piston pin, the connecting rod comprising:\n a first end portion adapted to connect to the crankshaft; a second end portion adapted to connect to the piston pin; and an elongated rail longitudinally extending between the first and second end portions, the rail including a first flange having opposite outer and inner first faces, a second flange having opposite outer and inner second faces, and a web having opposite first and second surfaces, wherein the web laterally spans between and is attached to the inner first face and the inner second face, and 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 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.
