cylinder block. Cool air in the manifoldv and correspond in numberand are co-axialwith the valves of the engine 1. Positioned below the ycool air? inlets are the valves 10 which areconstructed according to theprinciples of this invention. Said valves 10 are` adapted to seat inseats 11 formedin sepaof the usualV construction leading respectivelytoftheinlet manifold 3 and thejexhaust manifold ,4" of the engine 1, andare operated by cams 12 and springs y13 in the usual and well-known manner. Said valves 10 are constructed similar` inlets 8 `are formed to a hollow piston and are slidable in cylin-i ders y14:` formed in the cylinder block of the engine 1 directlyrbelowthecool'air inlet 8. A sealing fit between'V the valvejl() and the `walls of thecylinde'r 14 is assured by means of piston rings 15` v whichare engaged inv grooves intlie upper "portion of said valves. Lubrication'ofthe walls of theA cylinders 14 is provided by tubes 16 which lead from the oil pump and oil supply of the engine to the walls of saidcylinders K14:. v' .To provide for cooling the interiorof'the valves 10, radiating fins 17 are formedY integrally therein as clearlyshownin Figuresfi and 5.? r

In lthe modiedform "'ofwconstruction shown in vFigures 7,8, and 9 the cooling air is admittedv to the cool air inlets 8 through a manifold '18` whichis integrally formed Said fmanifold "18 andc`ool air linlets l8 areremovably secured to the cylinderhead ofthe internal-combustion engine 1 by desired.'` The heated air from thev valve is conveyed to the intakel of thecarbureter 2 yby the pipe 7 'as heretofore described, n

The operation is as .followszff y ly The constructionof this invention is particularly `designed -to provide means whereby Lcooling air` may be circulated over thetop of the valves'o'fan internal-combustion engine. The cooling -air enters "through the i air inlets 8 tothe interior of the valve 10.

' As theA air` becomes heated by the valve, it

said'cool`v air inlets bolts 19, or may be clamped thereon if,y

rises and is drawninto the intake of the carbureter and through the pipe 7. Thus, when the engine isA running there is a constant circulation of air entering through the cool air inlets V8 and drawn outfthrough'th'e pipe 7 into the intake' ofthe carbureter 2. vrThe amount ofi'air circulation of course-depends upon the suction of the carbureterQ which is in lturn dependent upon the speed of the enginelfV Therefore, the amount ofvcooling air circulated inside of the valve 10 depends upon lthe. speedv ofthe engine, Vand therefis no danger of the valve becoming voverheated at high engine speeds.' y

y In the modified form of construction 7, 8,"and; 9 thecooling air shown'in Figures isiirstpassed through a suitable air washer is introduced into the Vmanior screen, and fold 18 throughl the pipe 20 leading .from said washing o r screening device. y, With this arrangementy clean air always'enters through the cooling air inlets 8 and clean heated air is always introduced into the carbureter' Thisrarlrangemefnt does away withclogging of the carbur'eter and subsequent fouling of the engine due to impure air. With the construction of `this invention, depositsy ofy'carbon `on the 'valves and the seats thereof are greatly minimized dueto the fact thatv said valves'` and fseafts do not become heated enough to cake the carbon thereon. Carbon"` 'that is deposited on* the valves, not being Vheated and caked, is 'easily blown out and Y vthe' valves of the .engine are` readily keptclean and tight. ADanger of.A preignition from incandescentcarbon is eliminated 'to' a tgreat degree byv the superior'cooling means V of 'this invention. V VVarping `and breaking `of the valves is also done away with, and the. eiiiciency of theY motor isl greatly increased cool airy maybe admittedfto the intake 'of the 110 carbureter,ifnecessary.. j Y

'While means have been shown and del 'scribed whereby the heated air isl taken from the manifold bythe suction of the cabureter,

it is not purposed vtojlimit thisz invention thereto. .A "fan Aor other air circulating mechanism may-be connected to thepipe 7 'and used for circulating lcooling fluid' over'the valves. v` l 'I vam aware that numerous detailsjof con- 120 struction Amay" bel varied'through 'a wide range without departingfrom the principles of this invention, and I 'therefore do rnot purpose limiting'the patent granted otherwise than necessitated by theprio'r art., I

I claimas my invention; 1. In an internal-combustion engine, a pop-v vpet valve, a hollow cylinderH integral therewith, an engine bloclrhaving a cylindrical wayin which said-cylinder slides, a tube 13 1.05 The eiiiciency` of thecarbureter is also in- V l mounted onthe engine block, opento the atmosphere, extending into the interior of said hollow cylinder and concentric therewith, and longitudinal fins on the interior `surface of said cylinder extending radiallynearly to` said tube.

2. Inan internal-combustion engine, a poppetl valve, a hollow cylinder integraltherewith, an engine block having a cylindrical way in which said cylinder slides, a tube mounted on the engine block, open to the atmosphere,

extending into the interior of saidhollow cylinder nearly to the position of lthe outer surface of said valve when lifted farthest from its seat and concentric therewith, and

longitudinal iins on the interior surface of said cylinder extending radially nearly to said tube.

' 3. In an internal-combustion engine', a series of poppet Valves, hollow cylinders one integral with each valve, an engine blockv havin a series of ways in which said cylinders s 1de, a manifold secured to said engine block, a series of tubes mounted in said manifold, open to the atmosphere and each extending into the interior of one of said cylinders and concentric therewith, longitudinal ns on the interior of each cylinder extending radially nearly into Contact with said, tube, and means for withdrawing air from said manifold. i

4. In an internal-combustion engine, a pop'- pet valve, a hollow cylinder integral therewith, an engine;` bl0ck`.having a cylindrical v l Wayin which' said cylinder slides, a tube mounted on the engine block, open to the atmosphere, extending into the interior of said hollow cylinder and concentric therewith, longitudinal ns on the interior surfacel of said 4cylinder extending radially nearly lto said tube,and m eans formaintaining 'a cur'- rent of airY through said tube.

5. In an internal combustion engine, a

valve chest, Valves therein, a conduit for each of said valves, leading romoutside the valve chest to the faceof its valve opposite l the seat thereof, and a conduit-from said valve chest tothe carbureter, whereby the valves varecooled'by a` stream of air and warm airis introduced into the carbureter.
