20090320772 | ENGINE-DRIVEN POWER GENERATOR APPARATUS - Engine cooling structure directs cooling air, introduced into a case by operation of a fan, to a cylinder block of an engine and then discharges the cooling air out of the case through an outlet port along meandering flow passages. Case cooling structure directs cooling along the inner surface of the case. Further cooling flow passage directs the air to vertically-oriented heat radiating fins so that the cooling air flows upward along the fins and then is discharged through the outlet port. Metal cooling-fan cover is supported by the lower cover via mounting members, and a resin-made cover guide is fastened to the engine together with supporting portions and interposed between the fan cover and the engine. | 12-31-2009 |
20090322046 | ENGINE GENERATOR - An engine generator movable on left and right wheels. The wheels are provided on a rear section of a bottom cover via an axle. A cylinder of an engine is disposed so as to incline upwards towards the direction of the axle. Inclining the cylinder lowers the center of gravity of the engine and disposes the axle positioned below the cylinder at a high position, thereby reducing the height of the engine generator. The orientation of the engine generator during travel is stabilized. | 12-31-2009 |
20140075900 | RIDING LAWN MOWER - Riding lawn mower switchable between mulching and bagging modes includes: a delivery passage for delivering grass, cut by cutting blades in a housing, from the housing to a receptacle by delivering air; and a scroll guide provided in an entrance of the passage for directing the grass clippings to the passage. An overall shape of the scroll guide as viewed in top plan is a substantial isosceles triangle extending into the housing while tapering forward from a scroll guide's base section located in the entrance and as viewed in side elevation is a substantial triangle tapering forward from the base section. Left and right side surfaces of the scroll guide each comprises lower and upper slanting surfaces formed as different slants, each of which gradually increases in area from the distal end of the scroll guide toward the base section. | 03-20-2014 |

20120097248 | SOLAR CELL MODULE AND PRODUCTION METHOD THEREOF - A solar cell module includes a glass substrate, a first sealing resin layer, a solar cell connected to a tab wire, a second sealing resin layer, and a protective sheet, which are laminated. The second sealing resin layer is formed from a blend polymer of a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ester-type polyol unit and a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ether-type polyol unit. The blend ratio of the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ester-type polyol unit to the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ether-type polyol unit in the blend polymer is 20:80 to 50:50 by mass. | 04-26-2012 |
20120291866 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THIN-FILM SOLAR CELL MODULE - A solar cell module is manufactured by resin-sealing a solar cell having a surface electrode to which a tab wire is connected, a tab wire is connected to the surface electrode and the solar cell is sealed with a sealing resin at a relative low temperature during the resin sealing step. For such purposes, a thin-film solar cell having a surface electrode to which a tab wire is connected is resin-sealed with a conductive adhesive film by using a decompression laminator, whereby the thin-film solar cell module is manufactured. A decompression laminator having a first chamber and a second chamber partitioned by a flexible sheet is used. Each chamber is capable of independent internal pressure adjustment. The second chamber includes a heating stage capable of heating. A resin mutually compatible with the thermoplastic resin constituting the conductive adhesive film is used as the sealing resin. | 11-22-2012 |
20130118561 | SOLAR CELL MODULE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME - Disclosed is a solar cell module in which a reduction in the adhesive strength of the sealing resin used is suppressed even after use in a severe environment for a long period of time, in which corrosion of an electrode is prevented, and which has favorable flame resistance. The solar cell module uses, as the sealing resin, a blended polymer of a thermoplastic ester polyol polyurethane resin including an ester-based polyol unit and a thermoplastic ether polyol polyurethane resin including an ether-based polyol unit. The blending mass ratio of the thermoplastic ester polyol polyurethane resin to the thermoplastic ether polyol polyurethane resin in the blended polymer is 10:90 to 50:50. The thermoplastic ether polyol polyurethane resin includes a polyurethane resin A having flame resistance and a polyurethane resin B having lower flame resistance but higher adhesion properties than the polyurethane resin A. | 05-16-2013 |
