  • Patent number: 11958155
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a handheld work apparatus having a work tool. The work apparatus defines a longitudinal plane and includes a handle having a longitudinal axis. The blocking lever is mounted so as to be pivotable about a rotational axis. The blocking lever blocks the actuating lever in a blocking or disable position and enables the actuating lever for actuation in at least one operating enable position. In the direction of view perpendicular to the longitudinal plane, the longitudinal axis of the handle and the rotational axis of the blocking lever conjointly define an angle (?). The angle (?) lies in a range of from 10° to 60°.

  • Publication number: 20240075607
    Abstract: A handheld work apparatus includes a motor, a transmission shaft, a tool, a guide tube, a housing, and a first anti-vibration element. The motor via the transmission shaft drives the tool. The transmission shaft is received in the guide tube. The motor is disposed in the housing. The tool is disposed on a front longitudinal end of the guide tube. The housing is disposed on the rear longitudinal end of the guide tube. The housing at least partially encompasses the guide tube, wherein the guide tube projects from the housing. The first anti-vibration element is disposed such that it acts in a vibration-decoupling manner between the housing and the guide tube. The first anti-vibration element is disposed on that side of the motor facing the tool. The handheld work apparatus includes a second anti-vibration element connecting the motor to the housing in an at least indirectly vibration-decoupled manner.
