Abstract: In an asphalt paver in which on a base paver provided with a base conveyor for
conveying and supplying paving materials onto an applied surface, either an attachment
for laying a single layer or that for laying multiple layers is selectively mounted, a hopper
for upper layer constituting the attachment for multiple layers is provided with a pair of left
and right buckets, each having a substantially trapezoidal cross-section, the buckets
being openably and closably supported by a support shaft extending in a longitudinal
direction of a vehicle body and having an upper portion, respectively, permitted for being
folded. Thus, the capacity of the buckets can be increased by extending the upper
portions from the folded position thereof. When the buckets are opened and when the
upper portions are folded, the overall height of the asphalt paver can be lowered to
thereby reduce such an anxiety that the paver might interfere with any lower face of a
structure such as a bridge during the conveyance of the paver.

Abstract: An engine is disposed below a seat 21 with a cylinder head
3 arranged on a front side of the vehicle and a intake pipe
31 extending from above the cylinder head 3 to the rear of the
vehicle is disposed above the engine. The cylinder head 3 of
the engine includes an injector mounting section in which an
injector 11 for ejecting a fuel is mounted and an injection
nozzle 11a is arranged in a position between an axis of an intake
valve 7 and a center axis of an intake port 3g, close to an
end of the intake port 3g on the intake valve side. The injector
11 and an intake pipe 31 are arranged so as to be prevented
from interfering with each other. This prevents the injector
11 from interfering with the intake pipe 31 above the engine,
and therefore it is possible to form a space between the lower
portion of the seat 21 and the intake pipe 31, and avoid, when
this space is used as a storage box 22, interference between
the injector 11 and storage box and prevent the capacity of
the storage box from reducing.
