Publication number: 20060180513Abstract: A manually guided apparatus for collecting objects, especially fruits and nuts, including a pick-up drum rotatably mounted in the drum chamber of a housing. The drum is disposed approximately transverse to the direction of operation, and is rotationally driven by a drive unit. The housing has a wall section extending over the width of the drum approximately at the level of the outer diameter thereof. A ground support is disposed in the region of ends of the drum. A collection channel provides communication for picked-up objects between the drum chamber and a collection receptacle for receiving the objects. The wall section of the housing and the drum cooperate with one another such that objects are accelerated along the wall section toward the collection channel and are ejected out of the drum chamber along a trajectory into the collection receptacle. A handle is operatively connected to the housing for moving the housing in the direction of operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2006Publication date: August 17, 2006Applicant: Andreas Stihl AG & Co.

Patent number: 6955043Abstract: A muffler assembly for an internal combustion engine of a portable handheld work apparatus such as a motor-driven chain saw, cutoff machine or the like includes an exhaust-gas muffler (1) which has a muffler housing (10). The muffler housing (10) is formed essentially from two half shells (24, 25) connected substantially fluid-tight to each other. The interior space of the muffler housing (10) includes at least two chambers (2, 3) which are partitioned from each other by a partition wall (4). A catalytic converter (5) is mounted in the partition wall (4). In the interior space of the muffler housing (10), an exhaust-gas inlet (6) opens which is connected to an exhaust-gas stub (9) of the cylinder (8) of the engine.

Patent number: 6948457Abstract: A fan arrangement of a portable handheld work apparatus is driven by an internal combustion engine and includes a radial fan (1) which includes a fan wheel (5) and a spirally-shaped fan housing (6) which encloses the fan wheel (5) at least partially. A take-out opening (3) is provided in the radial fan (1) in the region of the moved air flow (2) for diverting a combustion air flow (4) for the engine. The combustion air flow (4) is branched off from the air flow (2). In the radial direction outside of the fan wheel (5), there is an aerodynamically formed guide ramp (7) provided in the air flow (2) which rises in the axial direction. The take-out opening (3) is arranged downstream of the guide ramp (7).Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2003Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Andreas Stihl AG. & Co.

Patent number: 6880516Abstract: An intake system for preparing combustion air (1) is for an internal combustion engine of a portable handheld work apparatus. The intake system includes: a carburetor (2); an air filter (3) which is connected upstream of the carburetor (2); and, a filter case (4) which closes the air filter (3) from the outside. A combustion air channel (5) leads from a take-up opening (6) in a cooling air fan (7) of the engine to an inlet opening (24) in the filter case (4). The filter case (4) includes at least one defined ventilation opening (8) for connecting an inner space (9) of the filter case (4) to the ambient air. The flow cross section of the ventilation opening (8) is so designed that the airflows through the inlet opening (24), the intake opening (18) of the carburetor (2) and the ventilation opening (8) are compensated at the rated rpm of the engine and that a uniform pressure level adjusts in the inner space (9) of the filter case (4).Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2004Date of Patent: April 19, 2005Assignee: Andreas Stihl AG & Co. KGInventors: Georg Maier, Fritz Kiesewetter, Andreas Bähner, Ralf Tuckermann, Axel Klimmek

Patent number: 6868821Abstract: A fan arrangement of an internal combustion engine, especially of a portable handheld work apparatus, includes a fan wheel (5) and a spirally-shaped fan housing at least partially enclosing the fan wheel. A take-out opening (13) is provided in the fan arrangement at the region of the moved air flow for diverting a combustion air flow for the engine. The combustion air flow is branched-off from the air flow. The take-out opening (13) is arranged in radial direction directly outside of the fan wheel (5) and is so configured that the take-out opening (13) defines a window (14) which, referred to the flow direction (S), has a small width at a forward edge and that the width as well as the depth of the window (14) increases to a rearward edge.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2003Date of Patent: March 22, 2005Assignee: Andreas Stihl AG & Co.

Publication number: 20050028516Abstract: An exhaust gas muffler is provided for an internal combustion engine, especially the engine of a manually-guided implement such as a power saw, a cut-off machine, or the like. The muffler has a housing having an inlet for exhaust gases and an outlet out of the housing. The housing has an outer wall over which the exhaust gases from the outlet flow. To achieve an adequate cooling of the exhaust gas muffler and the discharging exhaust gases, the exhaust gases out of the outlet draw in atmospheric air between the exhaust gases and the outer wall of the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Applicant: Andreas Stihl AG & Co.Inventors: Fritz Kiesewetter, Georg Maier
