  • Publication number: 20240026849
    Abstract: An ignition resumption control unit (40) is disposed that resumes control of an ignition plug (14) if a first predetermined time has elapsed or if engine rotation number has fallen below a threshold value, after receiving an engine stop signal. The ignition resumption control unit (40) executes the control of the ignition plug (14), based on resumption ignition timings (Tg(R-on)) that are timing deviating from an entire ignition timing range set in a normal working area of an engine body (2).

  • Patent number: 10036301
    Abstract: To provide an exterior body to attach to an engine body, where the exterior body is not limited to where it may be installed, is safe and has excellent dust proofing capability. An engine exterior body (2) is provided with a frame body (20) configured to attach to an engine body (1); a shaft part (21) projecting from the surface of the frame body (20); and a rotator body (22) including a hole part (22a) loosely fitted and retained on the shaft part (21). The rotator body (22) rotates about the shaft part (21) by way of the vibrations transmitted to the shaft part (21) when engine body operates without receiving power from the engine body (1).

  • Patent number: 5342248
    Abstract: A drive system for driving an engine auxiliary equipment has a first power transfer device for transferring an output torque of the crankshaft to an interim shaft at all time and a second power transfer device comprising a crank pulley mounted for relative rotation on the crankshaft, an interim pulley mounted for relative rotation on the interim shaft and an input pulley related to the auxiliary equipment all of which pulleys are operationally coupled by a belt so as to transfer an output torque of the crankshaft to the auxiliary equipment. A first clutch is disposed between the crankshaft and crank pulley so as to connect and disconnect a transfer of power between the crankshaft and crank pulley. A second clutch is disposed between the interim shaft and interim pulley so as to connect and disconnect a transfer of power between the interim shaft and interim pulley.
