Abstract
A piston for an internal combustion engine has a piston body with a bottom. The piston body has at least two shaped sheet metal parts having monolithic flaps bent out of a radial plane of the piston body. The flaps are positioned at the bottom of the piston body. The flaps have eyes for at least one connecting rod. The piston is preferably designed without a skirt. Instead of the flaps, it is also possible to provide the bottom of the piston with a projection that is conical and tapers in a direction away from the bottom. The connecting rod is then connected to this projection.
