Abstract

An engine-driven working machine 10 is a generator where a working unit 15 including an engine 37 and a power generating unit 38 is housed in an outer case 12 . A plurality of lower support means 25 are included in the generator 10 . The lower support means 25 includes a first vibration isolating support portion 73 disposed between the working unit 15 and the outer case 12 , a second vibration isolating support portion 74 formed integrally with the first vibration isolating support portion 73 , and a groove portion 75 formed between the first vibration isolating support portion 73 and the second vibration isolating support portion 74 . The working unit 15 is supported with the first vibration isolating support portion 73 . The outer case 12 is supported with the second vibration isolating support portion 74 . A fitting portion 81 of the outer case 12 is fitted to the groove portion 75.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An engine-driven working machine in which an engine is housed in an inside of an outer case, comprising:
support means that supports the outer case and the engine by physical contact therewith,
wherein the support means includes
a first vibration isolating support portion that is disposed between the engine and the outer case, and supports the engine,
a second vibration isolating support portion that is formed integrally with the first vibration isolating support portion, and supports the outer case, and
a groove portion that is formed between the first vibration isolating support portion and the second vibration isolating support portion, and allows a fitting portion of the outer case to be fitted to the groove portion,
wherein the outer case includes
an undercover that is disposed under the engine, the undercover having a first fitting concave portion that is formed in a concave shape to be fitted to an undercover side of the groove portion of the support means, and
a side case that is separate from the undercover, the side case disposed at a side of the undercover, the side case having a second fitting concave portion that is formed in a concave shape to be fitted to a side case side of the groove portion of the support means, and
the fitting portion of the outer case is formed of the first fitting concave portion and the second fitting concave portion.

2. The engine-driven working machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the support means further includes
a bolt that is provided integrally with the first vibration isolating support portion, the groove portion and the second vibration isolating support portion, and is capable of being inserted through a mounting portion of the engine, and
a nut capable of being screw-connected to the bolt that is inserted through the mounting portion.

3. The engine-driven working machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
fastening means that fastens the undercover and the side case.

4. The engine-driven working machine according to claim 2 , further comprising:
fastening means that fastens the undercover and the side case.

5. The engine-driven working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the undercover and the side case are separate pieces joined to one another and the support means with the first fitting concave portion fitted to the undercover side of the groove portion of the support means and the second fitting concave portion fitted to the side case side of the groove portion of the support means.

6. The engine-driven working machine according to claim 3 , wherein the undercover and the side case are separate pieces fastened to one another and joined with the support means with the first fitting concave portion fitted to the undercover side of the groove portion of the support means and the second fitting concave portion fitted to the side case side of the groove portion of the support means.

7. The engine-driven working machine according to claim 4 , wherein the undercover and the side case are separate pieces fastened to one another and joined with the support means with the first fitting concave portion fitted to the undercover side of the groove portion of the support means and the second fitting concave portion fitted to the side case side of the groove portion of the support means.
