Abstract
A direct fuel injection, spark-ignition internal combustion engine wherein fuel mainly proceeds toward a spark plug side wall of a cavity along a bottom wall, is deflected by the spark plug side wall and is led to the vicinity of a spark plug. In the engine, the spark plug side wall of the cavity is provided with a deflecting portion inclined toward the inside of the cavity. A first part of the deflecting portion provided on both sides of the spark plug side wall functions to lead the fuel to the vicinity of the spark plug. A second part of the deflecting portion on the central portion of the spark plug side wall functions to lead the fuel to a region neighboring the side of the fuel injection valve from the vicinity of the spark plug.
