Abstract: A handheld work apparatus includes a motor, a transmission shaft, a tool, a guide tube, a housing, and a first anti-vibration element. The motor via the transmission shaft drives the tool. The transmission shaft is received in the guide tube. The motor is disposed in the housing. The tool is disposed on a front longitudinal end of the guide tube. The housing is disposed on the rear longitudinal end of the guide tube. The housing at least partially encompasses the guide tube, wherein the guide tube projects from the housing. The first anti-vibration element is disposed such that it acts in a vibration-decoupling manner between the housing and the guide tube. The first anti-vibration element is disposed on that side of the motor facing the tool. The handheld work apparatus includes a second anti-vibration element connecting the motor to the housing in an at least indirectly vibration-decoupled manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a discharge lamp, in particular a high-pressure discharge lamp, having a discharge vessel (1) which has two diametrically opposite necks (2, 3) into each of which a holding rod (5, 10) is fused at least in places, with an electrode (4, 9) which extends into the discharge vessel (1) being arranged on each holding rod (5, 10), and with in each case at least one annular plate (7, 12) at least partially clasping a holding rod (5, 10), with at least one of the annular plates (7, 12) being arranged in the discharge vessel (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrode for a discharge lamp (I) with a cylindrical shaft (12) and a tip (11) which adjoins the cylindrical shaft (12), wherein a first material region (13) forming a core is formed in the longitudinal direction (A) of the electrode (1), and the core is surrounded, at least in regions, by a second material region (14) forming a casing. The invention also relates to a discharge lamp having such an electrode and to a method for producing an electrode for a discharge lamp.

Abstract: A short arc high-pressure discharge lamp (1) for dc operation, includes a discharge vessel (2) that has two necks (4) diametrically opposite each other, in which an anode (26) and a cathode (7) made of tungsten are melted in a gastight manner, and which has a filling made of at least one noble gas and possibly mercury. According to the invention, at least the material of the cathode tip (11) contains lanthanum oxide La2O3 and at least another oxide from the group consisting of hafnium oxide HfO2 and zirconium oxide ZrO2 in addition to the abovementioned tungsten.
