Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep off the falling of a cover in noncontact by making a magnetic piece of an upper cover approximate to a reed switch attached to a lower cover, and when the upper cover is floated, connecting the reed switch as a magnetic field runs out, thereby operating a warning device. CONSTITUTION:A reed switch 6 is attached to a lower cover 1, and a magnetic piece 7 is attached to an upper cover 2 so as to come nearer to the reed switch 6 when this upper cover 2 is latched to the lower cover 1. In the reed switch 6, a power battery 8 and a warning lamp 9 are made so as to be cut when a magnetic field of the magnetic piece is working. When the upper cover 2 is not latched to the lower cover 1 and thereby floated, the magnetic piece 7 is separated from the reed switch 6 so that the magnetic field becomes unoperative, and this switch 6 is operated, thus the warning lamp 9 is lighted. Therefore any inoperativeness due to rust or the like is brought to nothing in noncontact, and the falling of the upper cover 2 is surely preventable.

An outboard motor has an upper engine and a lower screw connected by a vertical shaft so that the engine rotates the screw. Since it is used on the water, the engine part is covered with a lower cover and an upper cover to prevent water from splashing on the engine. The upper cover is attached to the lower cover with hooks and can be easily removed when necessary, making it easy to inspect the engine. If you forget to use the hook on the upper cover and it falls off while you are using it, it will sink and be impossible to pick up because it is above water. For this reason, a warning device using a switch that is pressed down by the upper cover is installed to ensure that the user does not forget to hook the upper cover. For example, see Japanese Utility Model Application No. 59-70900.

In order to achieve the above object, the engine cover fall-off detection device for an outboard motor of the present invention covers the engine by attaching the upper cover to the lower cover, and the reed switch attached to the lower cover is connected to the upper cover. The magnetic pieces are placed close together so that when the upper cover is lifted, a reed switch is connected and a warning light or alarm is activated.

If the upper cover is hooked to the lower cover, the magnet piece will be close to the reed switch, and the reed switch will be turned off by the magnetic field, and the warning light or alarm will not operate. If you forget to hook the upper cover and the upper cover is floating, the magnetic piece will be separated from the reed switch, the reed switch will connect, and the warning light or alarm will activate to alert you. Since the magnet piece and reed switch do not have movable contact pieces, they will not malfunction due to rust or the like.
