Joyce, R S

This patent describes a gaseous fueled engine having at least a cylinder with an fuel/air intake and combustion product exhaust to be used in a cylinder head having a flat lower surface enclosing one end of the cylinder, and a piston with a flat top piston head slidably received in the cylinder. The improvement consists of: a. an ignition device extending from the flat lower surface of the cylinder head in the center of the cylinder, and b. a baffleless combustion chamber eccentrically located in the head of the piston with respect to the piston axis such that ignition of the fuel/air mixture by the ignition device occurs within but on the outer periphery of the combustion chamber.
