20090000585 | Camshaft Support Structure of an Internal Combustion Engine and Assembly Method Thereof - A lash adjuster support portion is integrally formed with a lower cam carrier. The lower cam carrier is fixed onto a cylinder head into which an intake valve and an exhaust valve have been fitted. After a lash adjuster is set in the lash adjuster support portion, a rocker arm is placed on the intake side and a rocker arm is placed on the exhaust side. Camshafts are then placed on the lower cam carrier such that the rocker arm contacts an intake cam and the rocker arm contacts an exhaust cam. An upper cam carrier is then assembled to the lower cam carrier, thus completing the camshaft support structure. | 01-01-2009 |
20090000591 | Camshaft Support Structure for Internal Combustion Engine - A cylinder head of an internal combustion engine is fitted with rocker arms. Camshafts are disposed so that the rocker arms and cams will be brought into contact with each other. The camshafts are rotatably supported by lower bearings, which supports the camshafts from below, and by upper bearings integrated with a head cover. The head cover is provided with visual observation windows that make it possible to see valve system parts through the head cover. A visual observation window covers for covering the visual observation windows are fixed to the head cover. | 01-01-2009 |

20090013958 | Camshaft Support Structure For an Internal Combustion Engine - A lower cam carrier is disposed over a cylinder head and a head cover is disposed thereover. The lower cam carrier has, formed as one therewith, an outer frame superposed with the edge peripheral edge of the cylinder head, and a bridging part provided between opposing sides of the outer frame part. The bridging part has a lower bearing for supporting an intake camshaft and an exhaust camshaft. The head cover has, formed as one therewith, a flange part superposed with the outer frame part and a bearing part opposing the bridging part inside the flange part | 01-15-2009 |

20120166030 | ELECTRICALLY-DRIVEN VEHICLE - In an electrically driven vehicle equipped with a battery usable for running, a power generation unit of engine driven type that charges the battery is detachably mounted on the vehicle including a case where at least an engine of the power generation unit is detachably mounted, and the vehicle includes first stop means for bringing the power generation unit in a stopped state when the power generation unit is installed in or removed from the vehicle, and a generation stop switch for making an operation request to the power generation unit. More specifically, the first stop means stops an operation request signal to the power generation unit through low-voltage system wires when the generation stop switch is ON (no operation request is made). | 06-28-2012 |

20120228874 | ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN VEHICLE - An electrically driven vehicle equipped with a battery usable for running in which a power generation unit of engine driven type that charges the battery is detachably mounted on a vehicle body, includes including a first connection part that brings a high-voltage system in which the battery and the power generation unit are electrically connected together into a connected state in a state in which the power generation unit is mounted in a mounting position and brings the high-voltage system into a disconnected state in a state in which the power generation unit is dismounted from the mounting position, whereby the first connection part switches a connection state of the high-voltage system in accordance with installation or removal of the power generation unit. The first connection part includes a connector on the vehicle side and a connector on the power generation unit side. | 09-13-2012 |
20120259495 | ELECTRICALLY POWERED VEHICLE - An electrically powered vehicle includes a vehicle body, a battery that is mounted in the vehicle body and is usable for running, and an engine driven type of generator unit that is detachably mounted in the vehicle body and charges the battery. In the electrically powered vehicle, at least some of exhaust system assembly components that form an exhaust system of an engine of the generator unit are provided in the vehicle body. Specifically, the electrically powered vehicle is configured to mount, for example, a catalyst out of the exhaust system assembly components in the vehicle body. | 10-11-2012 |
20130075297 | METAL-RESIN COMPOSITE CONTAINER - Provided is a metal-resin composite container in which a flange portion formed of metal and a container portion formed of resin are joined together by overlapping of a flange vertical wall projecting from the flange portion and a container vertical wall projecting from the container portion. This overlapping prevents separation of the metal flange portion and the resin container portion caused by deformation of the resin container portion. The metal-resin composite container has a plurality of engagement parts each comprising a convex portion formed partially on the container vertical wall and a concave portion formed partially on the flange vertical wall and engaged with the convex portion. This convex-concave engagement allows gravity which acts on the container portion to be received by the concave portion of the flange portion and prevents cracking caused by excessive stress concentration. | 03-28-2013 |
