  • Patent number: 9650950
    Abstract: A carburetor for a hand-guided power tool has a carburetor housing and a carburetor rotor supported rotatably in the carburetor housing about an axis of rotation. A needle is disposed on the carburetor rotor and projects into a fuel opening of the carburetor. An adjusting element is operatively connected to the needle so as adjust a position of the needle relative to the carburetor rotor. The adjusting element has an engagement contour that is to be engaged by a tool for adjusting the adjusting element. A securing contour that is fixedly connected to the carburetor rotor is provided. The securing contour, at any point of the securing contour, has a spacing to the axis of rotation of at least approximately 10 mm.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8662047
    Abstract: A handheld work apparatus has an internal combustion engine (9, 9?, 9?) and a starter device (8). The internal combustion engine has a piston (10, 10?) which has at least one piston ring (37, 38). In order to avoid a delay when starting the engine, at least one recess is provided in the cylinder bore (26) which bridges the at least one piston ring (37, 38) in at least one position of the piston (10, 10?) and which has a distance (n, o, p) to all function openings of the engine (9, 9?, 9?) configured in the cylinder bore (26). To reduce the compression in the combustion chamber (25), the piston (10?) has only one piston ring (37) or two piston rings (37, 38) are provided having respective piston ring gaps (39, 40) defining an angle (?) which is up to approximately 45°.

  • Patent number: 8261701
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine has a cylinder (2) and a crankcase (4). A combustion chamber (3) is formed in the cylinder (2) and is delimited by a piston (5). The piston (5) rotationally drives a crankshaft (7) in a rotational direction (21) via a connecting rod (6). The crankshaft (7) is arranged in a crankcase interior space (17). A mixture inlet (9) is provided in the crankcase interior space (17). In the crankcase interior space (17), at least one flow conducting element (23, 33, 43, 53, 63, 73) is provided which is spatially fixed and this flow conducting element projects into the crankcase interior space (17) and lies opposite to the rotational direction (21) of the crankshaft (7).

  • Patent number: 7774896
    Abstract: A backpack suction/blower apparatus has a blower unit (1) which includes a drive motor (2), a blower (3), which is driven by the drive motor (2), and a blower tube (4) extending from the blower (3). A back carrier frame (5) is provided on which the blower unit (1) is attached at a spacing while forming an intake gap (6). The intake gap (6) is filled with a foam attenuating element (8) in the lateral direction (7) referred to the usual working position.
