  • Patent number: 11371477
    Abstract: An engine cover covers an engine; and an intake pipe through which the air is introduced into the engine. An intake silencer is provided adjacent to the intake pipe and suppresses air pressure fluctuations of air in the intake pipe to reduce intake sound. A portion of the intake silencer is covered with the engine cover, and a remaining portion is exposed with respect to the engine cover. An advantage is that secondary noise generated by the intake silencer and a temperature increase of air suctioned into the engine are simultaneously suppressed.

  • Patent number: 6318311
    Abstract: A piston is arranged within a cylinder so as to be movable upwardly and downwardly, a fuel injector is provided at a cylinder head of the cylinder to directly inject fuel into a combustion chamber in the cylinder, and mixture of fuel and air in the combustion chamber is ignited by a spark plug provided at the cylinder head. Scavenging paths and an exhaust port are provided in the cylinder so as to perform scavenging of the combustion chamber and perform exhausting when the piston is moved downwardly by combustion of the mixture. A top portion of the piston is provided with a convex portion with an inclination surface of which inclination extends in a direction of the top portion of the cylinder from an outer periphery of the piston towards a central portion side.
