Abstract
A cylinder body (2) is so formed as to project from a crank chamber (3) in an inclined manner, and a governor gear (50) for driving a centrifugal governor is arranged above a location where a crankshaft (20) is horizontally bridged within the crank chamber (3). An upper wall (71) of the crank chamber (3) is projected upwardly for accommodating the governor gear (50) within the crank chamber (3). An idle gear (45) is arranged at a location above the crankshaft (20) and below the cylinder (46) within the crank chamber (3), and the idle gear (45) is engaged with the crankshaft gear (42) and the governor gear (50) to transmit rotation of the crankshaft gear (42) to the governor gear (50).
Claims6
An inclined engine provided with a governor gear comprising:
- an engine (1) including a crank chamber (3) and a cylinder body (2),
- said crank chamber (3) including a front wall (68), a back wall (26), a left side wall (63), a right side wall (70) and an upper wall (71),
- a crankshaft (20) bridged in the fore and rear direction between the front wall (68) and the back wall (26) within said crank chamber (3),
- said cylinder body (2) being projected upward slantingly from one of the left side wall (63) and the right side wall (70) of the crank chamber (3) so that a cylinder axis (65) is made not coincident with a horizontal axis (8) and a vertical axis (5),
- said upper wall 71 being projected upwardly in order to arrange a governor gear (50) for driving a centrifugal governor above a location where the crankshaft (20) is bridged within the crank chamber (3) and to accommodate the governor gear (50) within the crank chamber (3), and
- an idle gear (45) arranged at a location above the crankshaft (20) and below the cylinder (46), said idle gear (45) being engaged with both the crankshaft gear (42) and the governor gear (50) to transmit rotation of the crankshaft gear (42) to the governor gear (50).
