The invention is a new and useful improvement in the design of connecting rods and pistons for use in reciprocating piston driven internal and external combustion engines and in reciprocating compressors. In the design presented the connecting rod is pivotally attached by a pin to a slider which is slidably mounted in the internal volume of the piston crown. Gas pressure forces generated in the engine cylinder above the piston crown are transmitted to a second pin which is pivotally mounted in a carrier which is in turn slidably mounted in an inclined slot in the connecting rod. Changes in angularity of the connecting rod, caused by rotation of the engine crankshaft, result in the piston being alternately raised and lowered as the carrier holding the second pin slides alternately to the right side and to the left side of the inclined slot thus augmenting the reciprocating motion of the piston. The purpose of the invention is to control the initial and terminal piston speed when the crankshaft is near the top-dead-center or near the bottom-dead-center position of rotation respectively.
