Abstract: In a general-purpose engine including a cylinder block extending obliquely from one side of a crank case, and a cylinder head connected to an end surface of the cylinder block via a gasket, a unidirectional valve for allowing a flow of a fluid from a crank chamber to a valve operating chamber and blocking a reverse flow of the fluid is installed in an upper oil passage. In a case where lubricant oil reserved in the crank chamber flows into the valve operating chamber via a lower oil passage when the engine inclines such that the inclined cylinder block further slants, positive pressures transmitted from the crank chamber to the valve operating chamber push the oil, which once flows into the valve operating chamber, back to the crank chamber via the lower oil passage.

Abstract: Misalignment of a weather strip is controlled by a corner formed by a shoulder part and a lower inclined part formed in an edge portion of an opening of a roof.

Abstract: A projector that projects an image on a screen, includes: plural image generating units that generate an image lights representing the image; a main body housing that houses the plural image generating units; and plural projection optical units that are provided in the main body housing to respectively correspond to the plural image generating units and project the image lights generated by the image generating units on the screen.

Abstract: Provided is a syrup extracted from red shiso and having a clear red color. The method of obtaining this involves: (1) draining water after blanching raw red shiso; (2) extracting, with water, the blanched red shiso while applying heat; and (3) adding an acid to the extract of the red shiso.

Abstract: A metal material processing method includes arranging two metal materials to face each other in a processing portion and inserting a distal end of a rod-shaped rotary tool into the processing portion while rotating the rotary tool, the two metal materials are processed. The distal end of the rotary tool has a probe protruding in a central portion and a shoulder in a peripheral portion, and the probe and the shoulder are constituted by different materials in at least surface portions that are in contact with the metal materials.

Abstract: Provided is a core wire for guide wire in which high rigidity can be attained even with a fine wire diameter so that pushability is improved while the core wire is prevented from fatigue deformation, and a method for manufacturing the core wire. This core wire 15 for guide wire is made of a Ti—Ni based alloy and has a wire diameter not larger than 0.5 mm and a Young's modulus not lower than 50 GPa. According to the manufacturing method, first, wire drawing is performed on a raw material M0 so that the raw material M0 is passed through a wire drawing dice 2 to be drawn to a certain length while the wire diameter of the core wire is reduced. Thus, a primary processed material M1 is formed. After that, the primary processed material M1 is hammered and drawn by swaging dices 5 and 5 so that a secondary processed material M2 is formed. In this manner, the core wire 15 having a wire diameter not larger than 0.5 mm and a Young's modulus not lower than 50 GPa is manufactured.

Abstract: A gas engine is driven by fuel gas supplied from a cassette gas canister, and includes a vaporizer device provided between a cylinder block and a muffler. The vaporizer device vaporizes liquid fuel gas, led out from the cassette gas canister, using heat of exhaust gas discharged from the cylinder block.

Abstract: A door hinge for a vehicle, having a check function includes: a vehicle body-side hinge member to be fixed to a vehicle body; a door-side hinge member to be fixed to a door; a hinge shaft that relatively rotatably connects between the vehicle body-side hinge member and the door-side hinge member; a movable member capable of being displaced in a direction substantially along this hinge shaft; an operation conversion device that converts a relative rotational operation between the vehicle body-side hinge member and the door-side hinge member into a displacement of the movable member substantially along the axial direction; and a check resistance application device that applies a retention resistance against an operational force to the movable member.
