  • Patent number: 6968822
    Abstract: Cap segment surfaces (9a) and (9b) of a larger-diameter end portion (7) of a connecting rod (5) are positioned at an upper and a lower portions of a crank pin (8) and are inclined from a right upper portion of the larger-diameter end portion (7) of the connecting rod (5) to a left lower portion thereof. A cap (10) is attached by connecting rod bolts (11a) and (11b), head portion (12a) and (12b) of which are arranged vertically along the inclination direction of the cap segment surfaces (9a) and (9b). With a piston (24) existing at a bottom dead center, a weight connection portion (15a) of an upper rotary balancer (4a) is provided with a recess (13a) at a portion oriented leftwards and downwards which comes to face the head portion (12a) of the upper connecting rod bolt (11a).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6957639
    Abstract: In an inclined engine where a cylinder (2) projects from a crank case (1) obliquely and upwardly, when seen in a direction parallel to a center axis (3) of a crank shaft (10), under a specific observation condition in which the cylinder projecting direction is deemed as an upper right side, a valve operating cam gear (5) meshes with a crank gear (4) from a horizontal right side of the latter and a governor gear (6) is arranged in a space defined below a portion where the valve operating cam gear (5) meshes with the crank gear (4). This governor gear (6) engages with the valve operating cam gear (5) from a lower left side of the latter.

  • Patent number: 6901909
    Abstract: The centrifugal governor ensures that the governor lever (3) can apply a synthesized tensile force (STF) of the tensile forces (GS) of the main spring (4) and the tensile force (IS) of the idling spring (5) to the fuel adjuster (2) of the fuel pump (1) so as to increase the supply of fuel, and cause the governor weight (6) to decrease the fuel amount by pushing down the fuel adjuster (2), so that a disequilibrium between the synthetic tensile force (STF) of the two springs (4), (5) and the governor force (GF) is utilized for increasing or decreasing the supply of fuel through the operation of the fuel adjuster (2), and that the idling spring (5) which is constituted as a tension coiled spring spring-biases the governor lever (3) in the direction of increasing the supply of the fuel both in the non-load set and in the low-load set (LL), and negates the spring-biasing both in the high-load set (LH) and in the full-load set (4/4).
