Abstract
In the embodiments of the invention described in the specification, a piston and a connecting rod of an internal combustion engine have opposed approximately semi-cylindrical bearing regions partially enclosing a pin, leaving free gaps between the bearing regions to permit swivel motions of the piston and connecting rod about the axis of the pin. Two symmetrical rings which surround the pin axis retain the bearing regions against the pin. The provision of such opposed bearing regions reduces the oscillating mass of the link joint.
