  • Generator including vertically shafted engine
    Patent number: 6998725
    Abstract: A generator positionable on a support surface and including a frame, an internal combustion engine coupled to the frame, an electrical energy source, a fuel tank, and an output unit. The one-piece mounting member is coupled to the frame and has mounting arms that each provide a frame mount, an engine mount, and a source mount. The internal combustion engine is coupled to the mounting member and includes an output shaft that extends through a central portion and that is substantially normal to the support surface during generator operation. The electrical energy source has a rotor coupled to the output shaft for rotation therewith, and a stator coupled to the mounting member. The fuel supply supplies fuel to the engine, and the output unit communicates with at least one of the engine and the energy source.
