Patent number: 7987938Abstract: To enable the close arrangement of right and left cooling fans that are common to each other and rotate in the same direction. A radiator is disposed forward of an engine, is horizontally lengthwise and is formed such that the center thereof bends to protrude rearward. A pair of right and left cooling fans is provided on the rear surface of the radiator. The left and right cooling fans have the same specifications, rotating in the same direction. A support plate is provided to surround the cooling fans, that is, to close left and right sides of, the upper side of and the rear of the cooling fans and open the lower side thereof. A partition portion is formed to project from the center of a rear wall to partition between the left and right cooling fans. Thus, the adjacent cooling fans can be prevented from interfering with each other and can be arranged close to each other.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2008Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Morita, Shota Suzuki, Atsushi Kusuda

Patent number: 7694654Abstract: An internal combustion engine for a small planing boat for preventing supercooling of the internal combustion engine before warm-up while enabling efficient cooling of the internal combustion engine after warm-up. An internal combustion engine for a small planing boat includes a first cooling water path B through which cooling water introduced from a jet propulsion pump flows toward an internal combustion engine main body via an exhaust manifold. A second cooling water path C is provided through which cooling water introduced from the jet propulsion pump flows toward an exhaust pipe via an oil cooler. A bypass cooling water path D is provided for branching a part of cooling water in the second cooling water path C which flows out from the oil cooler, so as to merge into cooling water in the first cooling water path B which flows into the internal combustion engine main body.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2007Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yosuke Hoi, Atsushi Kusuda

Patent number: 7367857Abstract: To provide an exhaust structure for a small watercraft that can cool exhaust gas, reduce the size and weight, and thereby cost of a backflow prevention chamber. An exhaust structure for a small watercraft is configured to be able to cool exhaust gas in the course of leading it to the outside when the exhaust gas of an engine is led to the outside for discharge. This exhaust structure includes a water muffler containing water therein. A backflow prevention chamber is disposed above the water muffler and adapted to prevent water from entering the side of the engine from the side of the water muffler. The backflow prevention chamber is provided with a cooling water injecting portion adapted to spray cooling water to the exhaust gas in an internal space. An outlet is formed in the bottom portion of the backflow prevention chamber to communicate with the water muffler.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2007Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Kumasaka, Atsushi Kusuda, Masatsugu Matsumoto

Patent number: 7247068Abstract: A propulsion unit for a boat has a cooling water intake structure through which entry of cooling water is obstructed when the boat is towed while the impeller is not turned, and through which sufficient cooling water enters when the impeller is turned. The propulsion unit includes an impeller, plural stationary blades provided on the downstream side of the impeller, and a cooling water intake structure. The intake structure is disposed between adjacent first and second stationary blades, on the side of the first stationary blade relative to a bisecting line between the two stationary blades. Hydraulic pressure on the side of the first stationary blade, relative to the bisecting line, is lowered by guide action of the impeller, and hydraulic pressure on the side of the second stationary blade relative to the bisecting line is raised, respectively, when the boat is towed while the impeller is stopped.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2006Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Iwakami, Atsushi Kusuda, Masahiko Tsuchiya
