Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A piston for an engine is provided, that makes it possible to improve supply of engine oil to a recessed part thereof. The piston includes a resin coating film and a recessed part on a surface of a skirt part. In the piston, resin coating films are distributed in a patchy fashion on the surface of the skirt part. The recessed part is formed by the surface of the skirt part, between adjacent surfaces of the patchy resin coating films and by the adjacent resin coating films, forming a net-like groove. An outer-edge resin coating film, extending in a piston movement direction, is provided at the ends, in a piston circumferential direction of the skirt part.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A piston for an engine, the piston comprising: a resin coating film and a recessed part on a surface of a skirt part, wherein resin coating films are distributed in a patchy fashion on the surface of the skirt part, and the recessed part, which is formed by the surface of the skirt part between adjacent ones of the patchy resin coating films and by the adjacent resin coating films, constitutes a net-like groove, and wherein outer-edge resin coating films extending in a piston movement direction are provided at ends, in a piston circumferential direction, of the skirt part. 2. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein lengths, in the piston movement direction, of the outer-edge resin coating films are set to such a degree as to stretch over an entire length, in the piston movement direction, of ends, in the piston circumferential direction, of the skirt part. 3. The piston according to claim 2 , wherein the outer-edge resin coating films are shaped so that central parts thereof in the piston movement direction bulge in the piston circumferential direction. 4. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein the patchy resin coating films have a hexagonal shape and/or an hourglass shape. 5. The piston according to claim 2 , wherein the patchy resin coating films have a hexagonal shape and/or an hourglass shape. 6. The piston according to claim 3 , wherein the patchy resin coating films have a hexagonal shape and/or an hourglass shape. 7. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein a recessed pocket part that is a recess of the surface of the skirt part is provided at an end, in the piston movement direction, of the skirt part. 8. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein in a part of the surface of the skirt part in a direction that crosses an axial direction of a piston pin, the patchy resin coating films are provided on a surface of the piston that has been subjected to shot-peening treatment. 9. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein a circumferential resin coating film that extends in the piston circumferential direction is provided at an end, farther from a crankshaft, of the skirt part on a thrust side and/or an end, closer to the crankshaft, of the skirt part on an anti-thrust side.
