  • Patent number: 9279512
    Abstract: A valve member having a valve part and a piston part is accommodated in a piston accommodation cylinder part of a case reciprocatably, and a damper chamber that is substantially a sealed space is formed in an anti-valve seat side in the valve member so that fluid flows without flowing via the damper chamber. Accordingly, since the fluid does not pass through the damper chamber, a fluid force that occurs in the piston part due to a fluid flow does not change easily, thus it becomes difficult to increase hunting at the valve members. Moreover, in a vibrational component in the valve member reciprocating direction of the valve members, amplitude of the vibration can be decreased by a damping force generated in the damper chamber.

  • Patent number: 9227614
    Abstract: In a check valve in which a valve part is disposed in a valve part accommodating recess movably relative to a piston part, among the valve part accommodating recess, an anti-valve seat side accommodation space formed between a surface of the valve part accommodating recess in an anti-valve seat side of the valve part and a wall surface of the valve part accommodating recess are communicated to exit side fluid passages.

  • Patent number: 7185624
    Abstract: The invention provides a fuel injection control apparatus of an engine in which a temperature sensor for detecting an engine temperature is inexpensive and a wiring to a control unit is made unnecessary, thereby restricting a system cost low. A control unit (5) is integrally formed with a throttle chamber (3) corresponding to a peripheral device of an engine (1), a temperature sensor (6) detecting an engine temperature is directly attached to a substrate (5b) of the control unit (5), and the temperature sensor (6) estimates an actual engine temperature on the basis of an engine peripheral temperature detected by the temperature sensor (6) by using a correlation data obtained by previously searching a correlation between the engine peripheral temperature detected by the temperature sensor (6) and the actual engine temperature under the same condition, thereby calculating a fuel increase amount and time for the increase amount necessary from a low temperature start to a warm-up finish.

  • Patent number: 6435482
    Abstract: A carburetor for a general purpose engine is structured by a carburetor barrel body having an air horn which is made of metal so as to have an ensured mechanical strength, a constant level fuel bowl coupled to the carburetor barrel body, and a fuel trunk with fuel wells and passageways leading to the air horn from the wells which is made of synthetic resin separately from the carburetor barrel body and installed so as to extend into the fuel bowl from the carburetor barrel body. The carburetor prevents or significantly reduces evaporation of fuel in the wells during an engine stop and also prevents or significantly reduces evaporation of fuel introduced into the fuel bowl at an engine restart even if the fuel in the wells evaporates, with an effect of improving performance of restarting the engine at high temperatures.
