Publication number: 20110094468Abstract: The invention pertains to a device for starting an internal combustion engine for handheld equipment such as chain saws, lawn mowers, lawn trimmers and the like, or for vehicles such as mopeds, boats or miniature aircraft. The starting device features an output element into which a starter torque can be introduced when the starting device is actuated. The output element is functionally connected to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine in order to introduce a crankshaft torque therein. The functional connection between the output element and the crankshaft introduces variable crankshaft torque into the crankshaft depending on the rotational angle of the crankshaft at a constant starter torque. This advantageously improves force or torque characteristics for largely operating the starter device independently of the compression phase and the expansion phase of the internal combustion engine.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2010Publication date: April 28, 2011Applicant: DOLMAR GMBHInventor: Christian Kellermann

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A DATA STREAM AND APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR READING A DATA STREAM
Publication number: 20100106802Abstract: When generating a data stream, text data, an escape-start-sequence, a first number of data units, an escape-continuation-sequence and a second number of data units are entered into a data stream. A base decoder displays only the text data and skips the data units referenced by the escape-start-sequence and the escape-continuation-sequence, while an extension decoder reads those data units and processes them together.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2008Publication date: April 29, 2010Inventors: Alexander Zink, Markus Prosch, Olaf Korte, Christian Kellermann, Bernd Linz -
Patent number: 7690277Abstract: A device for starting an internal combustion engine for hand-held tools, chainsaws, lawnmowers, trimmers and the like, includes a rotatable pulling medium roller which can be brought into functional connection with the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine in order to bring about a rotation of the crankshaft. The starting device has a simply configured functional connection between the crankshaft and the pulling medium roller and effectively reduces the force peaks reaching the pulling medium roller. To accomplish this, a deformation body having elastic deformation behaviour is arranged in the functional connection between the pulling medium roller and the crankshaft. The deformation body compensates for leading or lagging of the crankshaft with respect to the pulling medium roller.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2008Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Dolmar GmbHInventors: Christian Kellermann, Klemens Krahn

Patent number: 7691164Abstract: A suction device for a cyclone filter of a hand-guided work apparatus includes a blower which is located in a housing and a starting unit with a cable drum which is rotatably mounted about an axis, wherein ambient air sucked in with dirt particles is divided by the cyclone filter into a first air stream which is largely freed from dirt particles and into a second air stream loaded with dirt particles. The housing has an inlet and an outlet for the second air stream, which has a simple configuration and a good suction performance for air laden with dirt particles. The blower is mounted rotatably about an axis which is arranged coaxially to the cable drum axis and the housing is designed with a channel which is connected to the inlet and opens in the region of the cable drum axis.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2007Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: DOLMAR GmbHInventor: Christian Kellermann

Publication number: 20090255519Abstract: A silencer for a two-stroke engine includes a first chamber and a second chamber, wherein a flow channel is provided between an outlet of a combustion chamber and the first chamber. A high charge degree of the combustion chamber has a pressure ratio in the region of the outlet which reduces or prevents an escape of fresh gas from the combustion chamber. The flow channel between the outlet and the first chamber is flow-favourably shaped in such a manner that the exhaust gas that flows out of the outlet because of its mass inertia predominantly flows into the first chamber and following charging of the first chamber flows back again and as a result a back pressure is formed in the direction of the combustion chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2009Publication date: October 15, 2009Applicant: DOLMAR GmbHInventor: Christian Kellermann

Patent number: 7455367Abstract: A longwall support control for controlling the movements of longwall support units in the longwall of a mine that includes a central control system and a plurality of control units, of which a separate control unit (mining shield control device) is locally and operationally associated to each longwall support unit. The mining shield control devices connect to the central control system and to one another via two bus lines, through which each of the mining shield control devices can be called up for inputting a control command from the central control system or an adjacent mining shield control device. The identical second bus line (parallel bus) permits retransmitting to the adjacent mining shield control device, incoming signals that do not store a code word assigned to the respectively addressed mining shield control device.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: Tiefenbach Control Systems GmbHInventors: Ursula Kellermann, Christian Kellermann, Holger Kellermann
