Abstract
A connecting rod having a pair of spaced apart flanges parallel to a plane defined by a crankshaft axis and a piston pin axis. A web connects the flanges to form a rod portion having an I-shaped cross section. The inner surfaces of the flanges include a lateral rounded projection adjacent to the flange edges to improve bending and stress characteristics.
