Provided is a belt cover of an internal combustion engine having ease of attachment and detachment and sealability.

A belt cover structure for an internal combustion engine includes an oil pump case OP and a lower cover 9 that cover a timing belt TB, and a side mount bracket 8 that is adjacent to an upper side of the lower cover 9 and is held by a cylinder block CB. Mating surfaces 96c and 86c that are aligned with each other are respectively formed on the lower cover 9 and the side mount bracket 8. A lower seal member 41 is disposed on the mating surface 96c, and the mating surface 86c is configured to cover the mating surface 96c from the outside. The lower cover 9 and the side mount bracket 8 are fixed in a state where the mating surface 86c of the side mount bracket 8 is pressed against the mating surface 96c of the lower cover 9 via the seal member 41.

Provided is a seal structure and a mounting method of a belt cover for an internal combustion engine, the belt cover ensuring good sealability, minimizing detachment and attachment of peripheral pipe and the like when the belt cover is detached and attached, and having excellent maintainability by allowing detachment and attachment of only a necessary cover member. The belt cover includes an inner cover member (3, CH) and an outer cover member on both sides of a timing belt TB, and the outer cover member is divided into upper and lower outer covers (7) and (8). Sealing in a cylinder bore row direction with respect to the upper outer cover is formed by a first seal member (31) accommodated in a mating surface of the inner cover member, and sealing in a cylinder axis direction with respect to the upper outer cover is formed by a second seal member (33) accommodated in a lower mating surface of the lower outer cover. A predetermined gap is formed between the inner cover member and another component (21), and a plurality of protrusions 34 and 34 for locking the upper outer cover are provided on the lower mating surface of the lower outer cover.

A system of mitigating force in a mechanical system, the system comprising a frame member, a first rail connected to the frame member, a second rail connected to the frame member and extending along the frame member in parallel to the first rail, an assembly movably engaging the first and second rails, and a first bracket located between the first and second rails, with at least one first bracket attachment secured to the frame member, the first bracket sharing an upper edge with a lower edge of the first rail, such that a downward force applied on the first rail is distributed to the first bracket and the frame member via the at least one first bracket attachment.

A system for laterally moving an industrial machine is provided. The system includes a pair of rail elements configured to be positioned laterally below and support the industrial machine, the rail elements allowing the industrial machine to be moved laterally from a first operative position to a second, maintenance position; and a pair of linear actuators configured to laterally move the industrial machine as from the first, operative position to the second, maintenance position. The rail elements may include a first skid configured to couple laterally to an underside of the industrial machine at a first axial position; and a second skid configured to couple laterally to an underside of the industrial machine at a second axial position. First and second segmented support rails are positioned in sliding, aligned contact with the first and second skid, respectively, and are configured to be supported on a respective machine foundation.
