  • Patent number: 8701634
    Abstract: A zero-governor fitting structure for a gas engine, configured in such a manner that the lower half of a fuel tank for a gasoline engine is utilized as a support box for supporting the zero-governor in which a gas supply inlet pipe and a zero governor can be reliably mounted with vibration and heating of the zero-governor avoided. A zero-governor mounting structure for a gas engine equipped with a zero-governor is provided with a support box fixed to the upper part of the gas engine. The support box is formed as a box having two depths. The zero-governor is supported, through a vibration insulation gasket, on the bottom plate of the shallower depth space of the support box. A gas supply inlet pipe and an elbow joint which is connected to the gas supply inlet pipe and can be bent the direction of the gas flow at a right angle toward the zero-governor are received in the deeper depth space, and the elbow joint is connected to the bottom inlet of the zero-governor.

  • Patent number: 7409931
    Abstract: A forced-air-cooled engine has a main blow-out opening provided to a back plate of a cooling fan cover at a position facing a cylinder part for blowing out cooling air for cooling a cylinder part and a secondary blow-out opening provided to the back plate at a position opposite to the main blow-out opening in regard to the crankshaft center for cooling a part of a crankcase part, wherein a cooling air guide cover is equipped which is composed of a cylinder air-guide cover part which guides air blown out from the main blow-out opening to flow to cool the cylinder part and cylinder head, and a top cover part which guides air blown out from the secondary blow-out opening to flow along a side face of the crankcase part to cool there and then flow into midstream of the cooling air flow blown out from the main blow-out opening and cooling the cylinder part and cylinder head.

  • Patent number: 7389763
    Abstract: A structure of crankcase-integrated cylinder block for a small internal combustion engine is posed to increase strength and rigidity in order to reduce particularly vibration and noise. A cylinder part and a crankcase part are formed into a box-like shape being cast in one piece, a crankcase cover is fixed to the crankcase part to cover an opening on a side in anteroposterior thereof, a crankshaft bearing boss has a crankshaft bearing hole being provided at a central part of a back wall of the crankcase part to protrude to both inner and outer sides of the back wall for supporting an end sides of a crankshaft, wherein an inner peripheral rib is formed along the corner where the back wall of said crankcase part connects to a peripheral wall extending from the periphery of the back wall to heave inward form the corner part.
