  • Patent number: 8807114
    Abstract: In an accessory mounting structure for an internal combustion engine, an accessory unit block detachably supporting an engine accessory is attached to the side of the body of the engine. The accessory unit block has an upper portion of a flat shape, and a lower portion extending away from the engine body to terminate in a water pump housing. An upper fixing boss is formed on an upper part of the upper portion, while a lower fixing boss is formed on an end, remote from the engine body, of an upper-side edge of the water pump housing. The engine accessory is fixedly mounted on the unit block by attaching fixing brackets to the upper and lower fixing bosses. The engine accessory is thus compactly accommodated.

  • Patent number: 7114865
    Abstract: After a numbering character string is input, the start position of the numbering character string to be serially incremented and the end position of the numbering character string to be repeatedly incremented and printed on a print tape are set, and the number of print tapes on which the input numbering character string is serially implemented and printed is set. In this case, a numbering character string to be printed on a first print tape and a numbering character string to be printed on a last print tape are displayed on a liquid crystal display before the start of printing.

  • Patent number: 7052196
    Abstract: A print image of a character string to be printed on a print tape, rotated counterclockwise from the lengthwise direction of the print tape by 90 degrees to be arranged in the width direction of the print tape, is generated (S450). The print image is repetitively arranged sequentially in the lengthwise direction of the print tape (S470) and thereby label printing is executed (S480). Subsequently (S500), a normal print image of the character string arranged in the lengthwise direction of the print tape is generated (S430) and label printing of the normal print image is executed (S480).
