ABSTRACT:
Improved intake and exhaust valves for an engine or the like for more efficient fluid flow into a cylinder and the exhausting of spent fluid therefrom. The valves of the present invention have the same general configuration of the valves of a conventional internal combustion engine except that the vertical circumferential portion of the valve head (margin) is differently configured. A curvilinear (Coanda effect) surface is employed on the intake valve between the stem side edge of the margin portion of the valve head and the valve seat and a sharp 90 degree edge is formed at the joinder of the margin and valve face (Feuling effect). The exhaust valve employs the Coanda effect curved surface portion at both the joinder of the back surface of the valve and the valve seat as does the intake valve and further employs this curved surface at the joinder of the valve face and margin of an exhaust valve. In both the intake and exhaust valves the margin of the valve is substantially twice the length of the generally accepted maximum allowable length (Feuling effect). This increased vertical margin surface may be accomplished in several ways, namely, by an increased width valve head thickness with a recessed valve head face or an increased valve head thickness alone without the recess.
