Patent number: 6792897Abstract: In each of the soundproofed engine generators, the position at which the power generator body is coupled to the crank shaft is located at the end part on the crank shaft. In the soundproofed engine generator of the inverter type, the inverter unit is opposed to the power generator body at a position just upstream of the power generator body. Accordingly, when the inverter unit and the power generator body are removed, a continuous, long and large space for receiving the power generator body can be secured within the soundproof cover.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2002Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: Fuji Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masaaki Higuchi, Shinichi Okazaki

Patent number: 6725850Abstract: In a gas-liquid separation device in a vibrator engine according to the present invention, a crank chamber and a rocker chamber communicate with each other through an oil delivery passage, and a push rod chamber and the crank chamber communicate with each other through an oil chamber and an oil discharge port. Oil mist generated in the crank chamber flows into the rocker chamber through the oil delivery passage, as the oil discharge port begins to resist the flow. The mist flows into the push rod chamber after the mist is made into liquid for lubrication of parts to be lubricated. Thus, the oil is returned to the crank chamber from the oil delivery passage through the rocker chamber, the push rod chamber, and the oil chamber to form a circulating path.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2003Date of Patent: April 27, 2004Assignee: Fuji Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Ryoji Kurasawa, Shigeatsu Hongo, Satoshi Ishida, Masaaki Higuchi
