Engine generator unit
First Claim
1. An engine generator unit comprising:
- a framework having vertical pipe frame portions at four corners thereof;
an engine;
an electric-power generator to be driven by said engine, said engine and said electric-power generator being provided coaxially in a direction of an engine output shaft within a space defined by said framework;
a fuel tank disposed above said engine and electric-power generator between a pair of support members each spanning between a different pair of the vertical pipe frame portions;
a muffler connected to an exhaust-discharging end of said engine and positioned adjacent said fuel tank in a side-by-side relation thereto; and
a heat blocking cover covering top and side portions of said muffler, said heat blocking cover being placed between said pair of support members in such a way that a substantially entire top region of the space defined by said framework is covered with said fuel tank and said heat blocking cover.

Abstract
In an engine generator unit, a framework has vertical pipe frame portions at its four corners, and an engine and an electric-power generator to be driven by the engine are provided coaxially in a direction of an engine output shaft within a space defined by the framework. Fuel tank is provided above the engine and electric-power generator between a pair of support members each spanning between a different pair of the vertical pipe frame portions. Muffler connected to an exhaust-discharging end of the engine is positioned adjacent the fuel tank in a side-by-side relation to the fuel tank. Heat blocking cover covers top and side portions of the muffler and is placed between the pair of support members in such a way that a substantially entire top region of the space defined by the framework is covered with the fuel tank and the heat blocking cover. Thus, it is possible to increase the capacity of the muffler while providing for a large capacity of the fuel tank.
