Abstract: A handheld work apparatus includes a work tool. The work apparatus defines a longitudinal plane and includes a handle having a longitudinal axis. The blocking lever is mounted so as to be pivotable about a rotational axis. The blocking lever blocks the actuating lever in a blocking or disable position and enables the actuating lever for actuation in at least one operating enable position. In the direction of view perpendicular to the longitudinal plane, the longitudinal axis of the handle and the rotational axis of the blocking lever conjointly define an angle (?). The angle (?) lies in a range of from 10° to 60°.

Abstract: The invention relates to a spring element for vibration damping and/or suspension of a rail vehicle, comprising at least one elastic damping body and at least one fire-resistant cover layer arranged on the damping body, the cover layer having at least one compensation zone, wherein the compensation zone is compressed in the loaded state of the spring element such that wrinkling of the cover layer is prevented, wherein the cover layer and the damping body are inseparably connected to form a composite element. The invention further relates to a cover layer and the use of a spring element or a cover layer.

Abstract: A vehicle having an electric drive and having a sound transducer is provided. The vehicle has a sound generator for substantially simultaneously emitting a first noise having increasing frequency and decreasing loudness, a second noise having increasing frequency and increasing loudness, and at least a third noise having increasing frequency by means of the sound transducer, in particular during increasing rotational speed of the electric drive.
