| 20090084626 | Muffler and Working Machine - A muffler of a work machine in the form of an engine blower includes: a muffler body; and a diffuser that covers an exhaust outlet of exhaust gas provided on the muffler body. The diffuser has a diffusion space to diffuse the exhaust gas and an exhaust surface on which a plurality of exhaust circular holes are provided to exhaust the exhaust gas to an outside. An opening ratio provided by the exhaust holes of the exhaust surface is gradually increased from a portion corresponding to the exhaust opening toward an outer periphery of the exhaust surface. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20100276226 | MUFFLER - A muffler is disclosed. In the muffler a throttling device that is controlled by the energy of the airflow to be muffled is provided in a pipeline of the airflow that needs to be muffled. The muffler is adjusted by itself according to random variety of the pulsing airflow, and can eliminate or reduce effectively the pulsation of the airflow and the related noise in the range of the low frequency and the middle frequency. The muffling effect of the muffler has no correlation with the volume of the muffler, and therefore the volume of the muffler can be reduced. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110168483 | BLUFF BODY NOISE CONTROL - The present invention provides a method of and apparatus for, reducing noise caused by the interaction of airflow between two bluff bodies which are in a generally tandem arrangement, the method comprising providing flow control such that the peak turbulence is at least partially displaced from, or reduced at, the surface of the downstream body. The invention also provides an aircraft noise reduction device, and a method of using such a device, comprising a flow control apparatus ( | 07-14-2011 |
| 20120055734 | EXHAUST FLOW CONTROL DEVICE FOR EXHAUST MUFFLER - An exhaust flow control valve includes: a valve plate hinged to a downstream exhaust pipe to be pivotable, inside the pipe, between a fully closed position where a short-cut hole is closed and a fully open position where the short-cut hole is opened, the valve plate having a tip end directed toward a downstream side of the downstream exhaust pipe when at the fully open position; a spring receiving member provided to the downstream exhaust pipe to traverse the short-cut hole; and a valve spring having one end portion fastened to a tip end portion, which is located on the downstream side of the downstream exhaust pipe with respect to the spring receiving member, of the valve plate, and having an opposite end side being slidably in pressure contact with the spring receiving member, thereby generating a repulsive force to bias the valve plate toward the fully closed position. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20140166392 | VARIABLE VALVE APPARATUS AND MUFFLER PROVIDED WITH THE SAME - A variable valve apparatus includes: a housing having a pair of shaft holes and a gate hole formed in the housing; a gate provided to selectively open the gate hole; a shaft provided in the shaft holes and connected to the gate; and a spring provided on the shaft so as to elastically support the gate, in which a gap is formed between the gate and the housing. The variable valve apparatus may be provided as part of a muffler installed in a vehicle. | 06-19-2014 |
| 20140190764 | AIR INTAKE DUCT - There is provided an air intake duct capable of fully achieving intake-air noise attenuation effect. The air intake duct has a duct wall section formed of resin in form of tube and configured to introduce external air into an internal combustion engine or alternate power supply system. The duct wall section is provided with a silencing member formed of a lamination of a surface layer formed of a non-woven fabric to which thermosetting resin is impregnated and a ventilation adjusting layer formed of an extendable paper material having a surface in which a plurality of concave and convex portions are formed, and the silencing member includes at least one pair of the surface layers on front and back surfaces of at least one pair of the ventilation adjusting layers, and an intermediate layer is formed between the paired ventilation adjusting layers, the intermediate layer being formed of a same material as that of the surface layer. | 07-10-2014 |
