  • Patent number: 8826947
    Abstract: A valve device used by being attached to a fuel tank includes a case provided with an airflow valve opening which communicates with the outside of the tank, on an upper portion, and also provided with a fuel inflow section located on a lower side of the airflow valve opening, and a float body housed in the case so as to be vertically movable, and also seated in the airflow valve opening by being elevated by the fuel flowed into the case through the inflow section. In the case, an airflow section which interconnects the inside of the tank and the inside of the case is formed in a higher side than a waterline of the float body at the seating time, and also at the seating time, this airflow section is restricted.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5996552
    Abstract: In an engine, which has a supercharger and which rotates a generator running at high-idle speed, the rotational speed of the supercharger is accelerated in advance before performing a fuel supply so as to prevent a sudden reduction in the rotational speed due to a suddenly increased load during starting and operating time. A fuel injection device (1), which injects a specified quantity of fuel into an engine cylinder at a specified fuel injection timing and discharges exhaust gas at a specified temperature when the engine is running at unloaded high-idle speed, includes an actuator (14) connected to an injector (13) for controlling fuel injection, a load sensor such as an engine speed sensor (41), and a controller (44) which signals the actuator to cause the actual fuel injection timing to be behind the specified fuel injection timing, hence increasing the exhaust gas temperature at the high-idle-running to be higher than the specified exhaust gas temperature.
