A power generation device capable of ensuring assemblability and ensuring strength/rigidity necessary when being handled, and having reduced size and weight, without using a reinforcement frame. The power generation device includes, in a casing, an alternator that generates power through driving of an engine, an inverter case that houses an inverter of the alternator, and a fuel tank that stores fuel for the engine. The device includes an upper fixing part that fixes an upper part of the fuel tank to the casing, an intermediate fixing part that fixes a lower part of the fuel tank to an upper part of the inverter case, and a lower fixing part that fixes a lower part of the inverter case to the casing.

Power generation device

A work machine that can discharge water collected inside a casing to the outside, reduce leakage of noise, and reduce entry of foreign matter from outside. The work machine includes a bottom portion cover forming a portion of a casing, and the bottom portion cover includes: at least two ribs and a bead (strengthening structure portions) that are formed substantially perpendicular to a bottom surface of the bottom portion cover; and a drain hole located in a connecting portion connecting the bottom surface of the bottom portion cover and a water-discharging rib among the at least two ribs. An upper portion of the water-discharging rib is located over the drain hole.

Work machine

An engine-driven generator includes a fuel tank disposed in front of a cooling fan, an air guide space defined between the fuel tank and the cooling fan, an inverter disposed beside a lateral side part of the air guide space, and an air shroud provided between the inverter and the air guide space. The fuel tank is vertically elongated to face a cylinder block of a vertical engine. A storage space having the inverter disposed therein is connected to the air guide space via the air shroud.

Engine-driven generator

An engine-driven generator includes an exhaust muffler disposed adjacent to a lateral side of a cylinder block, a fan cover having an air outlet arranged to face the exhaust muffler and the cylinder block, the fan cover being configured to guide cooling air from a cooling fan directly to the air outlet, and an opening area-adjustment member provided on a muffler blow-off port of the air outlet for adjusting an opening area of the muffler blow-off port.

A rotary lawnmower includes a shutter for switching a location to which grass cut by the blade is to be discharged, and a shutter operating mechanism for operating the shutter. The shutter operating mechanism has a first shaft, a second shaft, a first link arm, and a second link arm, a third link arm, and an operating lever. The first shaft is positioned on the housing. The first link arm is capable of swinging about the first shaft and has the operating lever. The second shaft is positioned adjacent to and parallel to the first shaft, is rotatably attached to the housing, and is linked to the shutter via the third link arm. The second link arm is attached to the second shaft in such a manner as to be restricted in relative rotation but capable of swinging about the second shaft, and is swing-driven by the first link arm.

Lawnmower

A lawnmower including a cut grass storage container for storing cut grass. The lawnmower also includes a cutting blade, a downwardly-opening housing, and a cut grass conveyor passage. The cut grass storage container is provided to the cut grass conveyor passage. Grass that has been cut is delivered to the cut grass conveyor passage while revolving about a shaft inside the housing. A guide member is provided inside the housing. The guide member guides the revolving grass to the cut grass conveyor passage while guiding the grass to the outer periphery of the housing.

Guide member for a lawnmower

A riding lawn mower having covers for covering the side part of a cutter deck and the side part of a transmission section. The covers have a plurality of small holes formed in a portion facing the side part of the cutter deck. The accumulation of grass clippings on the upper surface of the cutter deck and the transmission section is reduced, and the state of accumulation of grass clippings is confirmed via the small holes.
