The generator includes a generator-side cooling fan and a generator-side inlet. The engine generator further includes an engine-side partition and a generator-side partition fixedly disposed within the soundproofing case to define a chamber to be cooled that houses sections of the engine and the generator that are to be cooled, an engine-side air intake chamber that the engine-side inlet faces, and a generator-side air intake chamber that the generator-side inlet faces.

Abstract: A load retainer assembly includes a pair of lower and upper plates pivotably mounted on a main shaft, and an inverting mechanism provided between the lower and upper plates that, as the lower plate is driven to pivot, causes the upper plate to pivot in the opposite direction to the pivoting direction of the lower plate. The load retainer assembly further includes a first retaining member for interconnecting distal end portions of a pair of links pivotably connected to one end of the lower plate and one end of the upper plate, respectively, and a second retaining member for interconnecting distal end portions of another pair of links pivotably connected to the other end of the lower plate and the other end of the upper plate, respectively. A suction pad is attached to each of the retaining members to retain a load by suction.

Abstract: An elevating apparatus for a working vehicle includes separate front lifting and rear lifting mechanisms that can be elevated by hydraulic cylinders, a feedback rod arranged between a link arm of one of the lifting mechanisms and a hydraulic pressure control apparatus for controlling the hydraulic cylinders. A change-over lever selects the front lifting mechanism or the rear lifting mechanism, and an elevating lever controls elevation of the lifting mechanisms. When one of the lifting mechanisms is selected and elevated by operation of the change-over lever, the elevating lever is operated normally without causing abutment between an adjuster member attached to the feedback rod that is interactive with the elevating lever, and an interactive member of the elevating lever. A return mechanism between the change-over lever and the elevating lever enables the elevating lever to be returned to the neutral position when selecting one of the front and rear lifting mechanisms.

Abstract: A portable engine-generator set is provide, which includes a soundproof cover defining an internal space for housing the components of the engine-generator set. The internal space comprises an intake compartment, a heat source compartment and an exhaust compartment. The heat source compartment comprises first and second sub-compartments which form independent cooling wind passages, each of the sub-compartments having an intake port in communication with the intake compartment. The exhaust compartment has an exhaust port in communication with the atmosphere, and intake ports in communication with the first and second sub-compartments such that air flow from the first and second sub-compartments are combined in the exhaust compartment.

Abstract: The apparatus provides for continuously manufacturing a flat twisted cable composed of a plurality of single-conductor pairs having alternate oppositely directed twisted portions with straight portions therebetween. The apparatus has a multi-stage single-conductor pair supply unit, a twisting unit, a reciprocatingly movable untwist preventing unit, a lateral spacing and converging unit, a reciprocating movable welding unit, and a take-up unit. The untwist preventing unit has piston operated pins for preventing the propagation of the twist from the preceding and following twisted portions of the flat twisted cable to the straight portions of the single-conductor pairs thereof. The welding unit has a reciprocatingly movable welder. The welding unit commences movement together with the straight portion when the latter reaches a position within the welder which performs the high frequency induction welding of the insulation coverings of straight portions to each other during movement.

Abstract: A terminal apparatus used for connecting a lead wire to a terminal, includes a cylindrical rotor having an operating knob and a hole for inserting the lead wire therethrough, and a terminal plate having spring effect. The lead wire inserted through the hole is fixed or released between the surface of the cylindrical rotor and the terminal plate in response to the rotation of the cylindrical rotor. In the fixed position, the lead wire is prevented from disengaging in the presence of an outward drawing force by the spring effect of the terminal plate together with corners of the rotor hole.

Abstract: A heat dispersion device for use in an apparatus having at least one heat-generating electronic element, such as, a power transistor, includes a thermally conductive heat dispersion member having a portion on which the heat-generating electronic element is mounted and a set of fins defining channels therebetween opening at the top and bottom of the set of fins, and a duct extending upwardly from the set of fins and communicating with the channels between the latter so that the generated heat is dispersed to air flowing upwardly in the channels and the heated air is conducted upwardly in the duct away from the heat dispersion member. For maximum effectiveness, the distance from the bottom of the set of fins to the top of the duct is made at least twice as large as the distance between the top and bottom of the set of fins.
