Abstract: A heat conductor coil for heating a flowing gaseous medium is configured to be attached to a support configuration and has a heat conductor wound in windings following an ascending line of a coil to form the heat conductor coil, wherein the ascending line of the coil defines a circumferential surface of the heat conductor coil. The heat conductor is deflected alternatingly in opposite directions within the circumferential surface of the coil out of the ascending line of the coil. The heat conductor coil is attached to a support plate by securing elements having a securing part for holding a winding of the heat conductor coil and a foot part for attaching the securing element to the support plate. The securing part is a tubular section with a substantially closed mantle surface and receives a winding of the heat conductor coil.

Abstract: A manually guided suction device or blower is provided that has a housing in which is formed a spiral blower path in which is disposed an impeller that is rotatably driven by a drive motor. The spiral blower path has an air-conveying air inlet and an air-withdrawing outlet. A connector is provided for the detachable connection of an air-conveying connection conduit, whereby when the connection conduit is mounted it overlaps with the connector, which is secured to the housing, over a prescribed axial length. To achieve a mechanically secure connection, an annular sealing element is held in a groove in a surface of the connector or connection conduit in the overlap region, wherein over the entire circumference thereof, the sealing element projects beyond such surface.

Abstract: A manually guided implement having a drive motor is provided. For a translatory movement of a tool member, the rotational movement of the drive motor must be converted by a gear arrangement, which has a gear wheel that is coupled with a component that glides on the end face of the gear wheel. To significantly reduce frictional losses and also wear of the pertaining components, a constantly effective, reliable lubricant is required. For this reason, at least one cutout is provided in the main body of the gear wheel and/or in the component that can glide on the end face thereof. Such cutouts are open to a glide plane and serve to accommodate a lubricant.

Abstract: A hedge clipper is provided that has an internal combustion engine that is to be started by hand. By means of a clutch and a gear mechanism, the engine drives cutting blades in a reciprocating manner; the cutting blades are guided and held in a cutter bar. Disposed on the output side of the clutch is a brake drum around which extends a brake band. The first end of the brake band is fixed to the housing, and the second end of the brake band is held on a pivotable brake lever that is acted upon by a brake spring that urges the brake band into engagement against the brake drum. The brake lever can be moved into an inoperative position of the band brake by a release lever against the force of the brake spring. The release lever cooperates with an adjusting cam that is disposed directly adjacent to the brake lever and in the inoperative position of the band brake forms a rest stop for the brake lever, receiving the force of the brake spring.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a portable handheld tool such as a brushcutter which includes a work tool assembly and a drive motor connected by a drive shaft. The drive shaft is surrounded by a protective tube and is centrally held therein by means of a bearing sleeve unit. The bearing sleeve unit braces itself against the inner peripheral wall surface of the protective tube via outwardly extending support ribs. The bearing sleeve unit defines a bearing bore for holding and guiding the drive shaft within the protective tube. The bearing bore and the drive shaft conjointly define an annular bearing play gap therebetween whereby frictional heat generated in the bearing sleeve unit is reduced while vibrations of the drive shaft are developed and imparted to the bearing sleeve unit. The support ribs are configured so as to be resilient in the radial direction to attenuate the vibrations imparted to the bearing sleeve unit.

Abstract: The process device for the photogrammetrical measurement of the human head, especially of the middle region of the face with the eye sockets, the nose, the check bones and the brows, is comprised of a projector for projecting a pattern image onto the face and two cameras which can simultaneously take two pictures from two different directions of the face and head with the pattern image projected on it. The two cameras and the projector are supported by an apparatus carrier, which can be moved in a vertical direction relative to a base permanently connected to the device and in at least one horizontal direction. This minimum of one direction coincides with the optical axes of the cameras. The device will facilitate bringing both the projector and the cameras on the one hand and the human head on the other into the required relative position to one another as necessary to take the pictures.
