Connecting rod for small reciprocating machines such as refrigerator compressors, and reciprocating machines incorporating such connecting rods

摘要

The connecting rod comprises two separate main pieces (34, 36) one of which includes a small-end part (38), a stem part (40) and a big- end fork part (42). The other piece is constituted by a cap (46). The big- end fork part (42) and the cap (46) are retained together by means of respective pairs of interfitting ends situated in correspondence with a diametral plane of the eye of the big-end. The interfitting ends of each pair have mutual coupling formations (48).
