Abstract
The invention relates to connecting rods for piston engines, made of sintered metal, the connecting-rod shank consisting of two individual booms separated from one another. The object is to connect the individiual booms to the connecting-rod eyes in such a way that the danger of buckling is effectively minimized. The object is achieved in that the arrangement of the connection of the individual booms to the connecting-rod eyes takes place at such an angle and these connections are made so smoothly by means of transitional radii that the force flux between the connecting-rod eyes and the individual booms has an optimum course.
