Abstract

An engine-exhaust-system apparatus includes: a main body that reduces noise generated by exhaust gas; and an exhaust outlet tube that includes an insertion section inserted into the main body, exhaust gas in the main body being discharged outside via the exhaust outlet tube, wherein the insertion section has an open end with a brim portion that spreads beyond a tube diameter of the insertion section.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An engine-exhaust-system apparatus, comprising:
a main body that reduces noise generated by exhaust gas; and
an exhaust outlet tube that includes an insertion section inserted into the main body,
the exhaust gas in the main body being discharged outside via the exhaust outlet tube,
wherein the main body is internally separated by a partition wall into an exhaust outlet chamber where the exhaust outlet tube is disposed and an exhaust inlet chamber where an exhaust tube is disposed that connects the main body to an exhaust discharge port side of an engine,
a distribution tube, which spatially connects the exhaust outlet chamber and the exhaust inlet chamber, is disposed in the main body,
the exhaust outlet tube is disposed parallel to an axis of the distribution tube and displaced radially relative to the distribution tube, and
a brim portion that spreads beyond a tube diameter of the insertion section is mounted on a peripheral wall of the exhaust outlet tube around an open end of the insertion section,
the brim portion projects from the peripheral wall of the exhaust outlet tube at a position displaced from an inlet end face of the exhaust outlet tube toward an outlet end face of the exhaust outlet tube, and extends upstream in an exhaust gas flowing direction beyond the inlet end face of the exhaust outlet tube, and
an open end face of the brim portion has a greater diameter than an outer peripheral diameter of the exhaust outlet tube.

2. A package-type engine electric power generator, comprising an engine and an electric power generator in a single package and further comprising the engine-exhaust-system apparatus set forth in claim 1 .
