  • Patent number: 11598304
    Abstract: An idling-stop control apparatus includes an idling-stop controller and an auxiliary-machine controller. The idling-stop controller is configured to automatically stop an engine to cause the engine to be in a state in which idling is stopped in a case where a predetermined condition for stopping idling is satisfied and configured to automatically restart the engine in a case where a predetermined condition for restarting the engine is satisfied. The auxiliary-machine controller is configured to control a drive state of an auxiliary machine that is to be driven by the engine. The auxiliary-machine controller is configured to control the drive state of the auxiliary machine that is driven by the engine such that, in a case where the engine is automatically restarted from the state in which idling is stopped by the idling-stop controller, a time differential value of an engine speed of the engine is constant.

  • Patent number: 10308486
    Abstract: The overhanging storage mechanism for a jib is provided with: a guide roller (31) provided to a jib (15); a guide (32) provided to a base end boom (14a); a jib-fixing pin (43) provided to the base end boom (14a); and a pin socket (45) that is provided to the jib (15) and that comprises insertion holes (48), (49). The jib-fixing pin (43) and the insertion holes (48), (49) are arranged so that the jib-fixing pin (43) is inserted in the insertion hole (48) when the jib (15) moves along the base end boom (14a) together with contraction of a boom (14). The inner dimensions of a front end opening (48) are larger than the outer dimensions of the jib-fixing pin (43). It is thus possible to absorb positional displacement between the jib-fixing pin (43) and the insertion hole (48).
