Piston with a reinforcing insert

A two-piece, or articulated, piston assembly for internal combustion engines, comprising a head composed of a top portion and a pair of pin bosses integral with it, a skirt portion, and a wrist pin mounted in the pin boss holes. The pin bosses are secured to a member restraining lateral deformation of the pin bosses. The restraining member may be the wrist pin itself, or defined by a cylindrical hollow pin fastened to the pin boss holes and housing the wrist pin. The thus formed structure prevents deformation of the pin bosses toward the cylinder liner, thereby imparting a higher strength to the piston assembly.

Two-piece piston assembly

A sliding bearing of the type comprising a backing layer; an intermediate layer provided with internal peripheral grooved portions crosswise the bearing length and longitudinally spaced from each other; optionally, a diffusion or bonding layer on the grooved portions; and a sliding layer of a material softer than the material of the intermediate layer and filling the grooved portions. According to the invention, the grooves of the grooved portions have a depth and longitudinal spacing with uniform or variable dimensions, wherein at least one of the characteristics of depth and spacing is mandatorily variable. This design allows a selective distribution of harder material and softer material on defined portions of the bearing as a function of specific operating requirements.

Sliding bearing

A method for manufacturing a piston for internal combustion engines, compressors and the like, comprising a head portion articulately connected to a separate skirt portion, wherein the skirt portion comprises a steel tubular part obtained by cutting, bending and closing of a piece of steel strip, the outer surface of said tubular part being covered by a layer of antifriction material bonded to said outer surface prior to the cutting, bending and closing of the steel strip.
