  • Publication number: 20240109015
    Abstract: A filter element, in particular an air filter element, has a filter media body surrounding a hollow interior and has a first end and an opposite second end. A first end cap is positioned on the first end of the filter media body, and a second end cap is positioned on the second end of the filter media body. The second end cap is a closed end cap. The second end cap has a plurality of spaced-apart inner adapter projections arranged thereon and projecting in direction of a central axis away from the first end cap. At least some of the inner adapter projections are positioned in a circular arrangement so as to surround a center of the second end cap. Such a filter element is arranged in a housing of a filter system provided with a receiver arrangement for the filter element.

  • Publication number: 20230270045
    Abstract: A self-driving work apparatus has a chassis, at least one tool and a hood. The hood is movably mounted on the chassis via at least one bearing. The bearing allows a movement of the hood relative to the chassis in a vertical direction in the park position and in a horizontal direction. The bearing has a support which is pivotably connected to the hood and has a first support surface which rests on a second support surface of the chassis. A reference axis of the support pivots about a pivot angle when the support pivots from a rest position into a maximally tilted position. At least one of the support surfaces is formed convex such that the first support surface rolls on the second support surface at least in a partial angular region when the first support surface pivots about a horizontal pivot axis.

  • Patent number: 10512999
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-part cut guard for a tool that is rotatable in a cutting plane. The cut guard includes a first part element and at least one further part element. The part elements are connected together at their ends and form a closed circumference. Opposing first ends of the part elements are connected together, forming a pivot joint. The second ends of the part elements are fixed releasably together. The pivot joint is formed from a latching receptacle and a latching stub which form the pivot joint in the latched state and are intended to be separated in order to release the latching.

  • Patent number: 10309362
    Abstract: A starter device for an internal combustion engine has an entrainer for coupling to the engine. The entrainer and an actuator of the starter device are mounted rotatably about a rotational axis. A damper spring is arranged between and operatively connects the entrainer and the actuator to each other. The starter device has at least one stud, on whose outer periphery the damper spring is mounted. The damper spring is a hinge spring wound from a spring wire. The cross section of the spring wire is rounded on the inner side of the spring wire. At least a portion of the cross section runs linearly on the outer side of the spring wire.

  • Patent number: 9749759
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a sound tube (3) for an earpiece (1), wherein a first section (4) of an inner surface of the sound tube (3) has a structured surface, in particular a textural pattern forming a relief comprising convexities (13) and/or concavities (11). Alternatively or additionally, the sound tube (3) features a radially extending, circumferential flange (8), annular lip (8?) or collar at an outer surface of the sound tube (3). The present invention is further directed to a sound tube arrangement comprising two of the proposed sound tubes integrally formed in one piece and to an earpiece (1) with such a sound tube (3) or such a sound tube arrangement as well as to a hearing device with such an earpiece (1).

  • Patent number: 7096966
    Abstract: A portable handheld edge cutter (1) has a cutterhead (2) fixed to a guide tube (4). Two wheels (6, 7) are attached to the cutterhead (2). The cutterhead (2) includes a gear unit mounted in a gear housing (8). A first wheel (7) is rotatably journalled on a first end (27) of the gear housing (8). On the opposite-lying end (28) of the gear housing (8), a cutting knife (9) is mounted and is rotatably driven by the output shaft (18) of the gear unit. In order to achieve a simple assembly of the edge cutter (1) and to protect the gear housing (8) against wear, the second wheel (6) is mounted between the gear housing (8) and the cutting knife (9) and that the two wheels (6, 7) are journalled coaxially to the output shaft (18).
