  • Patent number: 9896038
    Abstract: A work vehicle which can provide more accommodation space for articles on a vehicular body frame is provided. A rear cab mount on which a cab of a hydraulic excavator is mounted is mounted on a revolving frame and forms a hollow rear under-mount space. An opening portion is formed at a position corresponding to a side of the rear under-mount space in an exterior cover which laterally covers the revolving frame. A rear door body can open and close the opening portion. The rear door body opens the rear under-mount space to an external space with the opening portion being opened.

  • Patent number: 9010809
    Abstract: An oil storage tank includes a hydraulic oil tank configured to store hydraulic oil, a fuel oil tank configured to store fuel oil, a breather valve disposed on the hydraulic oil tank, and a breather hose connected to the breather valve. The hydraulic oil tank includes a first facing face facing the fuel oil tank. The fuel oil tank includes a second facing face facing the hydraulic oil tank. The second facing face has a fuel-oil-tank adjacent face and a fuel-oil-tank sloped face. The fuel-oil-tank adjacent face extends along the hydraulic oil tank. The fuel-oil-tank sloped face is connected to the fuel-oil-tank adjacent face and slopes relative to the fuel-oil-tank adjacent face so as to be away from the hydraulic oil tank. The breather hose is disposed along the fuel-oil-tank sloped face.

  • Patent number: 4651814
    Abstract: A waste heat recovery apparatus is disclosed which recovers the waste heat of high temperature exhaust gas discharged from a furnace. The apparatus includes a radiation body made of ceramic material, which is formed with a heat radiation surface arranged adjacent to an exhaust gas outlet of the furnace, and directed toward the inside of the furnace. The radiation body has a plurality of regular channels allowing passage of the exhaust gas therethrough. Exhaust gas passes through the channels and heats the radiation body, and a substantial amount of the holding heat of the exhaust gas is radiated from the radiation surface toward the inside of the furnace, allowing an efficient waste heat recovery.
