  • Publication number: 20240149425
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool includes a machine housing, in which an electric drive motor is arranged that is paired with an output shaft for rotatably driving an insert tool, at least one battery pack, and a support device for guiding the machine housing on a workpiece. The support device has a support section, which has a foot plate for contacting the workpiece that includes a passage for the insert tool. The battery pack is arranged in a first machine section, the electric drive motor is arranged in a second machine section, and a handle for a user is arranged in a third machine section, at least in some sections. The three machine sections are arranged next to one another along a transverse axis, which is aligned at an angle to the output shaft of the drive motor.

  • Patent number: 11832554
    Abstract: A self-propelled combine harvester has at least one tilting mechanism for the uniform distribution of a harvested material on an oscillating conveying and cleaning unit, in particular a top sieve. The tilting mechanism has elements for defining a swiveling direction of the conveying and cleaning unit which are arranged between the conveying and cleaning unit and a machine housing. The tilting mechanism has an actuator for continuous adjustment of at least one component part of the elements from an initial position to an adjusting position. The position of the at least one component part decisively defines the swiveling direction. An electric control unit controls the actuator depending on a state of the combine harvester and/or harvested material and the initial position of the at least one component part of the tilting mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20210285203
    Abstract: Stormwater management systems, methods, and apparatuses for containing and filtering runoff may be provided. In one implementation, a flared end ramp for managing flow of material into a stormwater chamber may be provided. The flared end ramp may include an inlet end configured for connection with a pipe, a side wall of the flared end ramp having a rounded profile at the inlet end; an outlet end configured for placement within the stormwater chamber; and an inclined surface extending between the inlet end and the outlet end of the flared end ramp and configured to deliver material from the pipe into the stormwater chamber. The outlet end of the flared end ramp may have a larger width than the inlet end of the flared end ramp such that the inclined surface is angled laterally outward from the inlet end toward the outlet end.
