Abstract
In a drive mechanism for a four-cycle engine having an output shaft for outputting the torque of the engine by decelerating the rotation of the crankshaft, the output shaft is placed coaxially with the crankshaft. Intermediate shaft having a driven gear for decelerating the rotation of the crankshaft is placed in parallel with the crankshaft. The rotation of the crankshaft is transmitted to the output shaft through the intermediate shaft.
Claims9
A drive mechanism for a four-cycle engine, comprising:
- a crankshaft;
- an output shaft for outputting a rotation driving force in decelerated state from an original rotation of the crankshaft, separated from the crankshaft and placed coaxially with the crankshaft, and
- an intermediate shaft having a reduction gear for decelerating and transmitting a rotation driving force of the crankshaft, placed in parallel with the crankshaft,
- wherein the rotation driving force of the crankshaft is transmitted to the output shaft through the intermediate shaft.
