As described above, the arm main body 233 of the left swing arm 191, the arm main body 234 of the right swing arm 192, and the movable handle 132 are formed of fiber reinforced plastic.
Therefore, the rigidity of the arm main bodies 233 and 234 and the movable handle 132 can be ensured and the thickness of each member can be reduced.
Furthermore, the arm main body 233 of the left swing arm 191 and the arm main body 234 of the right swing arm 192 can be formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section.

As a result, the engine-driven generator 10 can be reduced in weight, and the engine-driven generator 10 can be easily transported.
Furthermore, by reducing the weight of the arm main bodies 233 and 234 and the movable handle 132, the handling of the tow handle 125 becomes easy and the usability can be improved.

FIGS. 8A and 8B are sectional views showing the positioning structure of the traction handle according to the present invention. (A) shows a state where the traction handle is arranged at the transport position, and (b) shows a state where the traction handle is arranged at the storage position.
The positioning structure 230 is means for positioning the movable handle 132 at the transport position P1 or the storage position P2.

A right restricting portion (not shown) positioned at the transport position P1 and the storage position P2.
The right restricting portion is a member that is symmetrical to the left restricting portion 243, and the description of the left restricting portion 243 also serves as an explanation of the right restricting portion.

The left restricting portion 243 has a pair of projecting portions 243a and 243b projecting outward in the radial direction from the outer periphery of the left bracket portion 182, and a holding claw 244 that is elastically deformable.
The stopper portion 242 is regulated at a predetermined position by the pair of overhang portions 243a and 243b. The stopper 242 is held at the transport position P1 by the holding claw 244.

The stopper portion 242 is provided at the left end portion 131a of the support shaft 131 and can come into contact with the left restricting portion 243, and the right end portion 131b (see FIG. 5) of the support shaft 131 is provided at the right restricting portion. And a right stopper portion (not shown) that can come into contact with.
The right stopper portion is a symmetrical member with the left stopper portion 245, and the description of the left stopper portion 245 also serves as the description of the right stopper portion.

  The left stopper 245 is provided with a recess 246 (see also FIG. 7) that rotatably supports the left restricting portion 243 at the base 232 of the left swing arm 191, and radially inward from the inner peripheral wall of the recess 246. A pair of projecting pieces 245a and 245b (see also FIG. 7) is projected.

According to the positioning structure 230, as shown in FIG. 8A, the projecting piece 245a is held while the projecting piece 245a is in contact with the projecting portion 243a and the projecting piece 245b is in contact with the projecting portion 243b. It is held by the nail 244.
Therefore, the movable handle 132 (see FIG. 5) is kept in the state positioned at the transport position P1.

Here, the transport position P1 of the movable handle 132 is set so as to satisfy the following conditions.
That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the transport position P1 of the movable handle 132 is such that the left and right wheels 31 and 32 (the centers of the left and right wheels 31 and 32 are centered) from the movable handle 132 in a state where the movable handle 132 is positioned at the transport position P1. ) Is set so that the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 is located in the vicinity of the extension line 220 extending to the upper part.
The reason why the transport position P1 is set so that the center of gravity G is positioned in the vicinity of the extension line 220 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

By lowering the movable handle 132 downward from this state, the holding claw 244 is pressed by the protruding piece 245a and elastically deformed.
As shown in FIG. 8B, the protruding piece 245a gets over the holding claw 244 and comes into contact with the overhanging portion 243b, and the protruding piece 245b comes into contact with the overhanging portion 243a.
The movable handle 132 (see FIG. 5) is positioned at the storage position P2.

As described above, the positioning structure 230 includes the restriction portion 241 and the stopper portion 242, the restriction portion 241 is provided on the left and right bracket portions 182 and 183 (upper side of the case 17), and the stopper portion 242 is provided on the support shaft 131. It was.
Then, the movable handle 132 is positioned at the transport position P1 by bringing the stopper portion 242 into contact with the restricting portion 241.
The left and right bracket portions 182 and 183 are portions that support the support shaft 131 and are formed with high rigidity.

By providing the restricting portion 241 on the left and right bracket portions 182 and 183 having high rigidity, when the stopper portion 242 contacts the restricting portion 241, the restricting portion 241 reliably positions the stopper portion 242 at the transport position P1. Can do.
As a result, the movable handle 132 can be reliably positioned at the transport position P1, and the leg 29 can be reliably lifted from the road surface by the movable handle 132, so that the engine-driven generator 10 can be transported easily.

Returning to FIG. 6, the front fixed handle 119 includes a front grip 119 a that forms the front half of the front fixed handle 119, and a rear grip 119 b that forms the rear half of the front fixed handle 119.
The front gripping portion 119a is formed integrally with the upper portion of the front case portion 46.
The front gripping portion 119a is attached to the left bracket portion 182 and the right bracket portion 183 with bolts 249 at the left end portion and the right end portion, respectively.

The rear gripping portion 119b is attached to the left bracket portion 182 and the right bracket portion 183 with bolts 248 at the left end portion and the right end portion, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 2, the front fixed handle 119 is provided coaxially with the support shaft 131 so as to cover the support shaft 131 of the traction handle 125.
Therefore, the front fixed handle 119 can be reinforced by the support shaft 131.
As a result, the front fixed handle 119 can be simplified while securing the rigidity of the front fixed handle 119, so that the weight of the engine-driven generator 10 can be reduced.

Here, the left and right bracket portions 182 and 183 are provided on the base portion 181 of the handle support portion 128. Further, the handle support portion 128 is attached to the upper center 26 a of the vertical frame 26 with bolts 129.
Therefore, the front fixed handle 119 is provided at the upper center 26 a of the vertical frame 26 via the handle support portion 128.

In addition, a front fixed handle 119 is provided on the vertical frame 26. The vertical frame 26 is a member that forms the skeleton member 11, and can sufficiently ensure the rigidity of the vertical frame 11.
By providing the front fixed handle 119 on the highly rigid vertical frame 26, the front fixed handle 119 can be firmly attached to the vertical frame 26.

Further, by providing the front fixed handle 119 at the upper center 26a of the vertical frame 26 via the handle support portion 128, the front fixed handle 119 is located on the upper portion 17a side of the case 17, as shown in FIG. A portion 17b on the opposite side of the wheels 31 and 32 is provided in parallel to the axle 113 (see FIG. 2).
That is, the front fixed handle 119 is disposed on the front side of the case 17 (the other side in the front-rear direction of the case 17) and on the upper side of the case 17.

Therefore, the front fixed handle 119 can be separated from the portion 17b (see FIG. 1) on the upper portion 17a side of the case 17 and on the opposite side of the left and right wheels 31 and 32.
Thereby, the carrier can easily grasp the front fixed handle 119 without bringing his / her hand into contact with the portion 17 b of the case 17.

  According to the transport structure 16 described above, it is possible to swing the traction handle 125 upward about the support shaft 131 to the traction position P1, and to grip and pull the movable handle 132 of the traction handle 125. .

That is, the left and right leg portions 29 are lifted from the road surface (ground) 120 by gripping and lifting the movable handle 132.
By pulling the movable handle 132 in this state, the left and right wheels 31 and 32 can be rotated to carry (carry) the engine-driven generator 10.

On the other hand, the traction handle 125 is swung around the support shaft 131 to the accommodation position P2 (see FIG. 8B), and the traction handle 125 is held by the front case portion 46 (see FIG. 1).
In this state, it is possible to lift and carry the engine-driven generator 10 by holding the rear fixed handle 118 and the front fixed handle 119.

FIG. 9 is a side view showing the relationship between the gravity center position and the traction position of the engine-driven generator according to the present invention.
The engine 21 of the engine-driven generator 10 has a cylinder block 35 with an angle θ on the left and right wheels 31 and 32 side (specifically, on the axle 113 side that supports the left and right wheels 31 and 32) with the drive shaft 34 as an axis. It is arranged in an inclined state.
By tilting the cylinder block 35 of the engine 21 by the angle θ, the height H1 of the engine 21 is lowered (see FIG. 2), and the height H4 of the engine-driven generator 10 is kept low.

Further, a wheel housing space 38 (see FIG. 2) is secured below the cylinder block 35 with the cylinder block 35 of the engine 21 inclined at an angle θ.
Using this space 38, left and right wheel houses 115, 116 are formed at the left and right corners 25f, 25g of the rear end portion 25b of the under cover 25.
By arranging the left and right wheels 31 and 32 using the wheel housing space 38, the left and right wheels 31 and 32 are arranged upward (high position).
Therefore, the height H5 of the bottom portion of the engine-driven generator 10, that is, the bottom surface 28 of the under cover 25 is kept low.

Here, left and right recesses 115a and 116a are formed below the left and right wheel houses 115 and 116, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 5, the left wheel 31 is accommodated in the left recess 115a, and the right wheel 32 is accommodated in the right recess 116a.

Therefore, only the part 31b (refer also to FIG. 4) in contact with the road surface 120 in the left wheel 31 can be protruded downward from the left recess 115a.
Moreover, only the site | part 32b (refer also FIG. 4) which contact | connects the road surface 120 among the right wheels 32 can be protruded below from the right recessed part 116a.
Thereby, the height H5 of the bottom part of the engine drive generator 10, ie, the bottom face 28 of the undercover 25, can be easily lowered.

  Thus, by suppressing the height H4 of the engine-driven generator 10 and the height H5 of the bottom surface 28 of the under cover 25, the height position H6 of the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 can be suppressed low.

Here, the transport position P1 of the movable handle 132 is set so that the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 is positioned in the vicinity of the extension line 220 in a state where the movable handle 132 is positioned at the transport position P1.
The extension line 220 is a straight line extending from the center of the movable handle 132 to the centers of the left and right wheels 31 and 32.

By disposing the support shaft 131 of the tow handle 125 above the case 17, the transport position P1 of the movable handle 132 can be disposed at a relatively high position.
Therefore, the extension line 220 can be arranged at a relatively high position, and the extension line 220 can be arranged in the vicinity of the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10.

Further, by placing the transport position P1 at a relatively high position, it is possible to reduce the amount of lifting when the movable handle 132 is lifted from the transport position P1 to the actual transport position.
Therefore, when the engine-driven generator 10 is transported, the amount of increase in the center of gravity G can be kept small.
As a result, the engine-driven generator 10 can be transported in a stable state.

FIG. 10 is a rear view showing the position of the center of gravity of the engine-driven generator according to the present invention.
By keeping the center of gravity of the engine 21 (see FIG. 9) low without moving it in the left-right direction, the center of gravity of the engine 21 can be arranged at the approximate center in the width direction of the engine-driven generator 10.
Therefore, the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 is arranged at the approximate center in the width direction of the engine-driven generator 10 while the height H6 is kept low.

By disposing the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 substantially at the center in the width direction, the inclination angle α of the left-side inclined line 221 connecting the left wheel 31 and the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 can be kept small.
Therefore, a large angle β of the left inclined line 221 with respect to the vertical line 223 can be ensured. This angle β is the maximum tilt angle when the engine-driven generator 10 tilts to the left.
As a result, a large maximum inclination angle β when the engine-driven generator 10 tilts to the left can be ensured.

Similarly, the inclination angle α of the right inclination line 222 connecting the right wheel 32 and the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 can be kept small.
As a result, a large maximum inclination angle β when the engine-driven generator 10 tilts to the right side can be ensured.

FIG. 11 is a perspective view for explaining the tilting of the engine-driven generator according to the present invention.
The traction handle 125 is positioned at the traction position P1. The substantially central portion 132a of the movable handle 132 is gripped by the transporter's hand, the movable handle 132 is lifted to the actual transport position (actual transport position) P3, and the left and right leg portions 29 are lifted from the road surface 120.
In this state, by pulling the movable handle 132 forward, the left and right wheels 31 and 32 can rotate and the engine-driven generator 10 can be transported forward.

Here, when the movable handle 132 is lifted and the engine-driven generator 10 is transported by the left and right wheels 31, 32, the engine-driven generator 10 moves to the left and right sides about the left and right tilt lines (tilt lines) 251, 252. It is conceivable to be inclined to.
The left tilt line 251 is a line connecting the substantially central portion 132a of the movable handle 132 and the left wheel 31 (the portion 31b in contact with the road surface 120).
The right tilt line 252 is a line connecting the substantially central portion 132a of the movable handle 132 and the right wheel 32 (the portion 32b in contact with the road surface 120).

The left tilt line 251 is slightly below the extension line 220 shown in FIG. Therefore, the left tilt line 251 is disposed in the vicinity of the center of gravity G in the height direction.
By disposing the left tilt line 251 near the center of gravity G in the height direction, the engine-driven generator 10 tilts around the left tilt line 251 when the engine-driven generator 10 is transported on rough terrain. This can be prevented well.

The right tilt line 252 is a tilt line symmetrical to the left tilt line 251. Therefore, the right tilt line 252 is disposed in the vicinity of the center of gravity G in the height direction.
By disposing the right tilt line 252 in the vicinity of the center of gravity G in the height direction, when the engine-driven generator 10 is transported, it is preferable that the engine-driven generator 10 tilts around the right tilt line 252. Can be prevented.

Thus, by arranging the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 in the vicinity of the height direction of the left and right tilt lines 251, 252, the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 is above the left and right tilt lines 251, 252. Compared with the case where it arrange | positions, the engine drive generator 10 can make it hard to incline to the left-right side.
Thereby, the engine drive generator 10 can be transported in a stable state, and the transportability of the engine drive generator 10 can be improved.

Here, the left and right tilt lines 251 and 252 are adjusted in the vicinity of the center of gravity G of the engine driven generator 10 and below the center of gravity G by adjusting the transport position P1 with the positioning structure 230 shown in FIG. It is possible to arrange on the upper side or the center of gravity G.
As a method of adjusting the transport position P1 with the positioning structure 230, for example, the transport position P1 can be adjusted by changing the position of the restriction portion 241 (specifically, the overhang portions 243a and 243b) shown in FIG. is there.

FIGS. 12A and 12B are views for explaining an example in which the engine-driven generator according to the present invention is towed by a tow handle.
In (a) and (b), the traction handle 125 is disposed at the traction position P1 (see FIG. 9), and the substantially central portion 132a (see (b)) of the movable handle 132 is gripped by the hand 226 of the carrier 225.
The movable handle 132 is lifted to the actual transport position P3, and the left and right legs 29 are lifted from the road surface 120.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 is moved toward the left and right wheels 31 and 32 by tilting the cylinder block 35 toward the left and right wheels 31 and 32 by an angle θ. .
The movable handle 132 is provided on the leg portion 29 side. Therefore, the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 can be separated from the movable handle 132.
Thereby, the movable handle 132 can be lifted to the actual transport position P3 with a relatively small lifting force.

In addition, a movable handle 132 is provided on the support shaft 131 so as to be movable in the vertical direction via left and right swing arms 191 and 192.
Therefore, the movable handle 132 can be disposed at a position away from the support shaft 131, that is, at a position away from the left and right wheels 31 and 32.
As a result, when the movable handle 132 is gripped with the hand 226 and the movable handle 132 is lifted about the axle 113, the lifting force of the movable handle 132 can be reduced, and the transportability can be improved. .

Further, a movable handle 132 is spanned in parallel with the support shaft 131 at the tip portions 191 a and 192 a of the left and right swing arms 191 and 192.
Therefore, the transporter 225 can turn the back of the engine-driven generator 10 to hold the movable handle 132 with one hand 226 and lift the movable handle 132 to the actual transport position P3.

By grasping the movable handle 132 with one hand 226, the carrier 225 can be separated so as not to contact the engine-driven generator 10.
Thereby, the engine-driven generator 10 can be transported satisfactorily while pulling the movable handle 132 with one hand 226.

  By pulling the movable handle 132 forward while the movable handle 132 is lifted up to the actual transport position P3, the left and right wheels 31, 32 can be rotated to transport the engine-driven generator 10 forward.

FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the stability in the left-right direction when the engine-driven generator according to the present invention is towed by a tow handle.
The inclination angle α of the left inclination line 221 connecting the left wheel 31 and the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 is kept small. Therefore, a large maximum inclination angle β of the engine-driven generator 10 is ensured.
This makes it difficult for the engine-driven generator 10 to tilt to the left when the engine-driven generator 10 is transported on rough terrain.

Also, as shown in FIG. 10, the inclination angle α of the right inclination line 222 connecting the right wheel 32 and the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 is also kept small as with the left inclination line 221.
This makes it difficult for the engine-driven generator 10 to tilt to the right when the engine-driven generator 10 is transported on rough terrain.

  Thus, by making it difficult to tilt the engine-driven generator 10 to the left and right sides, it becomes possible to keep the engine-driven generator 10 in a stable posture when the engine-driven generator 10 is transported. Can be performed easily.

FIG. 14 is a view for explaining an example in which the engine-driven generator according to the present invention is transported while being pushed by a movable handle.
The traction handle 125 is disposed at the traction position P1 (see FIG. 9), and the substantially central portion 132a (see FIG. 12B) of the movable handle 132 is placed on the carrier 225 with the carrier 225 facing the engine drive generator 10. Grip with both hands 226.
The movable handle 132 is lifted to the actual transport position P3, and the left and right legs 29 are lifted from the road surface 120.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 is moved toward the left and right wheels 31 and 32 by tilting the cylinder block 35 toward the left and right wheels 31 and 32 by an angle θ. .
The movable handle 132 is provided on the leg portion 29 side. Therefore, the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 can be separated from the movable handle 132.

Thereby, the movable handle 132 can be lifted to the actual transport position P3 with a relatively small lifting force.
In a state where the movable handle 132 is lifted to the actual transport position P3 with a relatively small lifting force, the left and right wheels 31 and 32 are rotated by pushing the movable handle 132 rearward to transport the engine-driven generator 10 rearward. can do.

FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the engine-driven generator according to the present invention is transported while being pushed by a fixed handle.
The tow handle 125 is disposed at the storage position P <b> 2, and the front fixed handle 119 (see also FIG. 1) is gripped by the hand 226 of the carrier 225.
The front fixed handle 119 is lifted to the actual transport position P4, and the left and right legs 29 are lifted from the road surface 120.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 is moved toward the left and right wheels 31 and 32 by tilting the cylinder block 35 toward the left and right wheels 31 and 32 by an angle θ. .
Further, the front fixed handle 119 is provided on the leg portion 29 side. Therefore, the center of gravity G of the engine-driven generator 10 can be separated from the front fixed handle 119.

Thereby, the front fixed handle 119 can be lifted to the actual transport position P4 with a relatively small lifting force.
In a state where the movable handle 132 is lifted to the actual transport position P4 with a relatively small lifting force, the left and right wheels 31 and 32 are rotated by pushing the front fixed handle 119 rearward, so that the engine-driven generator 10 is moved rearward. Can be transported.

By rotating the left and right wheels 31 and 32 and transporting the engine-driven generator 10, for example, the position of the engine-driven generator 10 can be finely adjusted.
Thereby, when storing the engine drive generator 10, the engine drive generator 10 can be easily adjusted to the storage position.

FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining an example in which the engine-driven generator according to the present invention is carried by two people.
A rear fixed handle 118 is disposed on the rear side of the case 17, and a front fixed handle 119 is disposed on the front side of the case 17 and on the upper side of the case 17.
Therefore, it can arrange | position in the state which ensured the space | interval L of the back fixed handle 118 and the front fixed handle 119 large.

As a result, the rear fixed handle 118 is gripped by the hand 226 of one carrier 225 and the front fixed handle 119 is held by the hand 228 of the other transporter 227 with the traction handle 125 placed at the storage position P2. Each carrier 225, 227 can be prevented from coming into contact when grasped.
Therefore, the engine-driven generator 10 can be lifted and transported by the two transporters 225 and 227, and the transportability can be improved.

FIGS. 17A and 17B are diagrams illustrating an example in which the engine-driven generator according to the present invention is mounted on a vehicle.
In (a), the rear fixed handle 118 (see (b)) is gripped by the left hand 226 of the carrier 225 and the front fixed handle 119 is held by the right hand 226 of the carrier 225 with the traction handle 125 disposed at the storage position P2. Hold.
In this state, the engine-driven generator 10 can be lifted and transported by one transporter 225.

In (b), the rear fixed handle 118 is disposed at a substantially central position in the height direction of the rear case 47. That is, the rear fixed handle 118 is arranged at a lower position than the front fixed handle 119.
Therefore, when the left and right wheels 31 and 32 are placed on the loading platform 256 of the vehicle 255, the lifting height of the rear fixed handle 118 can be kept low.
Then, in a state where the left and right wheels 31 and 32 are on the loading platform 256, the front fixed handle 119 can be pushed to easily place the engine-driven generator 10 at a predetermined position on the loading platform 256.
