Mid Cam Engine

View page
US Patent:
6499453, Dec 31, 2002
Filed:
Oct 30, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/699549
Inventors:
Thomas A. Immel - Malone WI
Gar M. Adams - Chilton WI
Assignee:
Tecumseh Products Company - Tecumseh MI
International Classification:
F01L 102
US Classification:
123 9031, 123 9027, 123 9044, 123 906
Abstract:
A drive train for an overhead valve engine, including a cam gear driven by the crankshaft, the cam gear supported for rotation in the cylinder block externally of the cylinder head and having a cam lobe mounted thereon for actuating a pair of rocker arms mounted for rotation in the cylinder head, which in turn actuates intake and exhaust valves in the cylinder head. A first lubrication passageway is provided in the crankcase of the engine to communicate oil, pumped from the oil sump by a combination oil pump and governor assembly driven from the crankshaft, to the upper crankshaft bearing. A second lubrication passageway is provided in the crankshaft and communicates oil from the upper crankshaft bearing to the coupling between the crankshaft and the connecting rod. An air cleaner body includes an integrally formed fitting extending therefrom, which fits within an opening in the breather cover to directly communicate the breather chamber with the air cleaner, wherein the air cleaner body may be mounted to the cylinder block in an easy, one-step operation in which the fitting is inserted into the breather cover opening and the air cleaner body is fastened directly to a mounting flange of the carburetor.

Overhead Cam Engine With Dry Sump Lubrication System

View page
US Patent:
20010015182, Aug 23, 2001
Filed:
Dec 18, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/739191
Inventors:
James Moorman - Kiel WI, US
Erik Christiansen - Cedarburg WI, US
Roberto Molina - Torino, IT
Gar Adams - Elkhart Lake WI, US
Assignee:
Tecumseh Products Company
International Classification:
F02F001/06
F01M001/00
US Classification:
123/041690, 123/19600R
Abstract:
A single cylinder, internal combustion engine with a dry sump lubrication system. The engine includes an engine housing in which the overhead camshaft and crankshaft are rotatably supported, and the housing includes an integrally formed cylinder and head. A timing belt disposed externally of the engine housing interconnects the crankshaft and camshaft, and a piston connected to the crankshaft reciprocates within an internal bore provided in the engine housing cylinder. The cylinder wall around the internal bore is of a generally uniform thickness and circumscribed by cooling fins such that the cylinder resists bore distortion during operation. Dry sump lubrication is obtained by an external oil reservoir connected to a pump which supplies pressurized oil to the bearing journals of the camshaft. A portion of the oil at the camshaft bearing journals flows through passages provided within the cylinder to lubricate the bearing journals of the crankshaft. The reciprocating motion of the valve assemblies controlling intake and exhaust of the combustion chamber pumps the oil which lubricated the camshaft back to the external reservoir. The reciprocating motion of the piston similarly effects a high pressure within the crankcase cavity to pump oil which has lubricated the crankshaft back to the external reservoir. The inventive engine further provides for the mounting of flywheels within the crankcase cavity in conjunction with an external, lightweight fan for engine housing cooling, as well as employs a cast in valve seat for the overhead valve assemblies.

Exhaust System For V-Twin Engines

View page
US Patent:
20040200665, Oct 14, 2004
Filed:
Feb 16, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/778826
Inventors:
Gar Adams - Chilton WI, US
International Classification:
F01N007/10
US Classification:
181/240000
Abstract:
An exhaust system for V-twin engines having a pair of engine cylinders connected to a crankcase to define a V-space therebetween. Each of the cylinders includes an exhaust port which faces outwardly of the V-space, and a pair of mufflers are attached directly to the exhaust ports of the respective engine cylinders. In this manner, the exhaust ports and mufflers are disposed outside of the V-space to promote the ready dissipation of the heat associated with the exhaust gases to the atmosphere. A common exhaust conduit is connected to both of the mufflers, and carries exhaust gases from the mufflers to a common exhaust outlet.

Cast Engine Cylinder Having An Internal Passageway And Method Of Making Same

View page
US Patent:
49228633, May 8, 1990
Filed:
Apr 18, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/339644
Inventors:
Gar M. Adams - Elkhart Lake WI
Assignee:
Tecumseh Products Company - Tecumseh MI
International Classification:
F02M 3510
US Classification:
123 52MC
Abstract:
A cast cylinder for an internal combustion engine having an intake valve cavity located on one side of the piston bore, an intake bore for communication with a carburetor located on the other side of the piston bore, and an internal passageway cast therein communicating the intake bore and the intake valve cavity. The internal passageway is curved and circumscribes a portion of the intake bore. A walled hollow tube having initially closed ends is embedded in the cast cylinder during casting as a permanently retained casting core. Subsequently the ends of the embedded tube are machined open to communicate with the intake valve cavity and the intake bore, respectively, to define the internal passageway.

Lubrication Scheme For Pressure Lubricated Crankshafts With Counterweight Holes For Crankshaft Balance

View page
US Patent:
47683970, Sep 6, 1988
Filed:
Jun 28, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/392959
Inventors:
Gar M. Adams - Elkhart Lake WI
Assignee:
Tecumseh Products Compny - Tecumseh MI
International Classification:
F16C 314
US Classification:
74603
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for counterbalancing an internal combustion engine while maintaining a lubricant flow path for supplying lubricant to a crankshaft connecting rod journal is disclosed wherein a generally cylindrical mass of crankshaft material is removed from a region of the crankshaft located coaxial with the connecting rod journal for engine balancing purposes with that removed mass including a portion of the lubricant passageway which supplies lubricant to the connecting rod journal. The region is then bridged by a tubular lubricant conduit to re-establish the lubricant path to the journal. Preferably the lubricant conduit is tubular and press fit into the existing passageway portions on opposite sides of the region with the lubricant passageway typically being a hole of uniform circular cross section extending oblique to the crankshaft axis of rotation and with the hole inside diameter substantially matching the outside diameter of the tube.
