  • Publication number: 20030188618
    Abstract: A manually guided, motor-driven implement is provided that has a housing for a motor, especially an internal combustion engine, that drives a working tool of the implement. In order for a power chain saw to mount a handle on the housing of the motor in a vibration dampening manner such that due to the mounting a structurally prescribed dampening frequency range is effected, one or more hydraulic mounts are disposed between the handle and the motor of the power chain saw.

  • Publication number: 20010027075
    Abstract: The invention relates to a filter element of at least two filter layers (10, 20) wherein the one filter layer (20) is formed from a non-woven fabric (21) and the other filter layer (10) is of an open-pore foam (11) which is attached to the one filter layer (20). Furthermore, a carrier is provided which supports the filter element (1). In order to properly mount the filter element in the filter housing, the non-woven fabric is a felt (21) stiffened by impregnation with a curing liquid. The felt (21) imparts rigidity as a carrier to the filter element (1).

  • Patent number: 5046566
    Abstract: The invention relates to a portable handheld tool such as a motor chain saw, cutoff machine or the like having a motor arranged in a housing. The motor drives a work tool via a drive pinion. The portable, handheld tool is provided with a handle arrangement for holding and guiding the tool with the handle arangement being decoupled from the motor system by antivibration elements. Soft antivibration elements are required to obtain high isolation; whereas, the antivibration elements have to be as stiff as possible in order to reliably guide and hold the handheld tool. The antivibration elements holding the handle arrangement on the side of the drive pinion are arranged to lie approximately in a common plane. This arrangement makes it possible to use softer antivibration elements without the required stiffness for guiding and holding becoming too low.
