Abstract: A crank drive arrangement of a piston compressor with a rolling bearing arranged on a crank pin of a crank shaft and to which a connecting rod is attached via an intermediate ring which interacts with apparatus for securing against rotation in relation to the connecting rod, wherein the apparatus for securing against rotation have a pin arrangement fastened in a play-free manner in the connecting rod by a thread and which comes into engagement in an interlocking manner in the intermediate ring via a play-exhibiting fit.

Abstract: A vibration reduction device includes: a rod rigid body supported between an engine and a vehicle body via respective elastic bodies, a resonance frequency of which is set to be lower than an engine rigid body resonance frequency; an elastic component that is provided on the rod rigid body and caused to deform by a force acting in an axial direction of the rod rigid body; an inertial mass supported by the elastic component; and an actuator that causes the inertial mass to reciprocate in the axial direction of the rod rigid body by generating a force that is proportionate to an axial direction velocity of the rod rigid body. As a result, resonance itself can be suppressed without reducing a double vibration proofing effect.

Abstract: A connecting rod shank of a connecting rod is composed of a plurality of laminated plates having a thickness so that they can be introduced through a gap provided in a partially cylindrical base body of a loop tensioner for a tightening band which encloses the connecting rod shank.
