  • Patent number: 10060337
    Abstract: A supercharged engine having an electrically operated water pump for supplying cooling water to an intercooler in a compact layout. The supercharged engine includes a supercharger disposed rearwardly of a cylinder assembly of the engine, a drive pulley mounted on a supercharger drive shaft of the engine, a driven pulley mounted on an input shaft of the supercharger, a drive belt trained around the drive pulley and the driven pulley, an intercooler for cooling supercharging air that is supplied from the supercharger, and an electrically operated water pump for delivering cooling water under pressure to the intercooler. The supercharged engine also includes a belt tensioner for tensioning the drive belt. The electrically operated water pump is disposed on a crankcase which is positioned more closely to the center of the engine across the width thereof in directions along a crankshaft of the engine than the belt tensioner.

  • Patent number: 7086372
    Abstract: A connection structure between a plastic gear and a shaft permits easy phase matching relative to a device mounted on the shaft, and easy meshing of a gear provided on the shaft with another gear. The connection structure includes a plastic gear, a shaft, and a set plate. The plastic gear has a geometric recess which receives the correspondingly-shaped set plate therein. The set plate includes a central shaped opening. The shaft is provided with a mating extension extending from a first end, and which fits within the shaped opening. The mating extension is formed such that the plastic gear may be mounted thereon in a first position wherein the plastic gear is not positioned to interact with a mating gear, and the plastic gear can be slidably moved thereon to a second position such that the plastic gear is positioned to interact with the mating gear.
