A fuel vapor control device having a valve opening and closing a passage connecting a carburetor and a charcoal canister according to a predetermined temperature. A first coil spring formed by a 'shape memory effect' alloy is provided to urge the valve to open the passage when the temperature is high. A second coil spring urges the valve to close the passage. A solenoid is provided to urge an armature against the valve to close the passage against the force of the first coil spring when the engine is running. The solenoid heats the first coil spring to generate a spring force therein when the engine is running. When the engine is turned off, the solenoid is deactivated, and the force of the first spring overcomes the force of the second spring to open the passage until such time as the temperature of the first spring drops below the predetermined temperature.

Fuel vapor control device

A device for mounting a rear extension portion of an engine to a support member of a vehicle body. The device has an upper support plate and a lower support plate which are connected with each other by elastic side members made of a rubber material. The upper support plate has a stopper rod having an upper end fixedly connected thereto. The lower end of the rod is freely passed through a tubular rubber member mounted to a center opening of the lower support plate. An inner edge of the opening located in the tubular rubber member has an upwardly directed lip portion.

Engine mount for a vehicle

A cover for a ventilation valve in a vehicle engine provided in the passage of blow-bye gas to be transmitted into an intake manifold. The cover is adapted to isolate the ventilation valve from the cold and prevent it from being freezing.
