  • Patent number: 7694655
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to improve cooling efficiency of a cylinder head of an air-cooled engine. With regard to the construction that a cooling fan is provided at one of ends of a crankshaft, and cooling air from the cooling fan is guided to a cylinder head 4 so as to cool the cylinder head 4, an intake manifold 8 is arranged above the cooling fan, a duct 51 is provided at the lateral center of the intake manifold 8 so as to suck air from an air cleaner, cooling air is sent from both sides of the duct 51 to an intake valve, an exhaust valve and an injection nozzle arranged in the cylinder head 4, and a shielding plate 55 is provided at one of lateral sides of the duct 51.

  • Patent number: 7644697
    Abstract: A governor device comprises a first lever connecting a governor lever to a rotary speed setting lever interlockingly, a second lever pivotally supported by the first lever, and a third lever pivotally supported by the second lever, regulated its rotation amount by the second lever and interlocked with a governor weight. A fuel injection compensation spring is provided between the first lever and the second lever so as to bias them for decreasing the rotary speed for a fixed amount at the time of low speed rotation. A compensation starting rotary speed setting device, which is a set load changing means for the fuel injection compensation spring, is provided on the first lever near the fuel injection compensation spring.

  • Publication number: 20070144484
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to make a limit starting position of the fuel injection amount to be set easily from the outside. A governor device 11 comprises a first lever 31 connecting a governor lever 30 to a rotary speed setting lever 29 interlockingly, a second lever 32 pivotally supported by the first lever 31, and a third lever 33 pivotally supported by the second lever 32, regulated its rotation amount by the second lever 32 and interlocked with a governor weight 22. A fuel injection compensation spring 38 is provided between the first lever 31 and the second lever 32 so as to biases them for decreasing the rotary speed for a fixed amount at the time of low speed rotation. A compensation starting rotary speed setting device 50, which is a set load changing means for the fuel injection compensation spring 38, is provided on the first lever 31 near the fuel injection compensation spring 38.

  • Patent number: 7152590
    Abstract: With regard to a construction that a fan 41 is provided at one side of an engine 1 and covered by a fan casing 45, and an air cleaner 30 is arranged near the fan casing 45 and at a side of a cylinder head 5 on which an intake port 5a is disposed, a suction port 31a communicated with the inside of the fan casing 45 is provided in a main body 31 of the air cleaner 30. A barrier 46 is provided at a position facing to the suction port 31a in the air cleaner 30. A wall standing toward the fan casing 45 and the cylinder head 5 is formed on the outer surface of the main body 31 of the air cleaner 30. An air intake part is provided on one of side surfaces of a cover body 32 of the air cleaner 30 and the cover body 32 is constructed to be an equilateral polygon. An intake pipe 31k communicating the air cleaner 30 with the intake port 5a of the cylinder head 5 is constructed integrally with a main body 31 of the air cleaner 30.

  • Patent number: 5097672
    Abstract: A blow-off duct is rotatably mounted on an air-conditioner. A human body detection device is provided at the blow-off duct in order to detect the presence of a person to be air-conditioned and then to identify the moving direction thereof. Comfortable localized air-conditioning can be realized since a wind direction control device controls a duct drive device of the blow-off duct in response to a human body detected signal and movement signal outputted by the human body detection device, and thus rotating the blow-off duct in accordance with the movement of the person to be air-conditioned.
