Abstract
In a connecting rod of a piston machine which comprises two separate parts which are longitudinally movable relative to one another but operatively interconnected and of which one part is connected to the piston and the other is rotatably mounted on the crank of a crankshaft, the two connecting rod parts are interconnected by a fluid spring structure in which a fluid is utilized as a spring element for operatively interconnecting the connecting rod parts.
