Abstract: A vehicle engine 2 comprises an exhaust system having an exhaust manifold 12 and an exhaust purification device 18. The exhaust manifold 12 is disposed at a predetermined distance from a dash panel 106 constituting a body of the vehicle 100, the exhaust purification device 18 is disposed in a position overlapping a floor tunnel region 114, formed by a floor tunnel of the body, and is disposed below the exhaust manifold 12 and to one side of the center of the engine 2 in the cylinder-array direction, as viewed from the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 100. An exhaust purification device introduction passage 17 connecting the exhaust manifold 12 and the exhaust purification device 18 is disposed on the other side of the center of the exhaust manifold 12 in the cylinder-array direction, and extends below the exhaust manifold 12 to be connected to the exhaust purification device 18.

Abstract: An exhaust system device (1) for a vehicle (100) comprises an exhaust purification device (18) and a first exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler (24). The exhaust purification device (18) is disposed with a central axis of a downstream-side end inclined downwardly toward a rear side of the vehicle (100). The EGR cooler (24) is provided so as to introduce exhaust from a downstream side of the exhaust purification device (18), is adjacent to the exhaust purification device (18) and fixed to the exhaust purification device (18), and is disposed such that a central axis of the EGR cooler (24) is inclined downwardly toward the rear side of the vehicle.

Abstract: An engine (1) of a vehicle powertrain unit (P) includes: an electric exhaust S-VT (27) that is mounted on one end of an exhaust camshaft (26) and changes a rotational phase of the exhaust camshaft; and an EGR device (60) that is provided outside an engine body (10) and connects an intake passage (30) and an exhaust passage (50) together. The EGR device is located closer to a cylinder block (13) than the electric exhaust S-VT in a direction from a cylinder head (14) to the cylinder block, and is arranged so that at least a part of the EGR device and the electric exhaust S-VT overlap with each other when viewed in the direction from the cylinder head to the cylinder block.

Abstract: The present disclosure improves serviceability of an automotive powertrain unit without deteriorating NVH characteristics. A powertrain includes an engine having a cylinder head; and a transmission coupled to the engine. The engine includes an EGR connected between an intake passage and an exhaust passage. The transmission is provided below the cylinder head in a vehicle height direction. The EGR is provided along a side of the cylinder head toward the transmission, and supported by the transmission.

Abstract: An intake and exhaust device (1) for a vehicle engine is capable to perform a compression self-ignition operation, the device comprising on an intake passage a supercharger (9) driven by a force other than an exhaust gas, wherein an exhaust purification device (18) disposed on an exhaust passage is disposed adjacent to an outer surface of the engine (2).

Abstract: A method of sewing the toe of a sock is provided which can automatically take out a sock pattern of knitted fabric from a sock knitting machine and sew up the selvedge at the toe portion of the sock pattern of knitted fabric thus improving both the efficiency of production and the energy saving. When a sock pattern of knitted fabric has been fabricated by the sock knitting machine, the transfer needles mounted on a group of transfer needles equipped movable tables are advanced at their tips close to the hooks of knitting needles. Then, the sock pattern of knitted fabric is lifted up and turned inside out by suction to transfer its loops at the toe portion from the knitting needles to the corresponding transfer needles. As a result, the sock pattern of knitted fabric turned inside out is transferred from the sock knitting machine to the transfer needles equipped movable tables.
