Abstract: A handheld work apparatus includes a combustion engine and an exhaust muffler. A first muffler chamber and a second muffler chamber are formed in the exhaust muffler. The exhaust muffler includes an exhaust gas after-treatment unit which includes at least one through-flow unit. The through-flow unit is disposed in a flow path from the first muffler chamber into the second muffler chamber. The thickness of the through-flow unit measured from an upstream end face to a downstream end face of the through-flow unit in the region of the through-flow unit passed through by a flow of exhaust gas is at least 10 mm across at least 70% of the cross section. The exhaust gas after-treatment unit does not have a catalytically effective coating.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pressing tool and a method for pressing a single- or multi-layer product in a web-processing operation by means of a pressing tool (1) comprising a frame (3), an upper tool module (4) with an upper pressing plate (40) and a lower tool module (5) with a lower pressing plate (50), the upper tool module (4) and the lower tool module (5) each being adjustably mounted on the frame in the transport direction (I) of the web-processing operation, wherein, after the pressing tool (1) has been closed, the upper tool module (4) and the lower tool module (5) are driven separately relative to the frame (3) in a synchronous manner in the transport direction (I) during an operating period.

Abstract: An Autologous fibrin is prepared extemporaneously from either a full blood sample or a prepared sample of poor platelet plasma wherein the latter is subjected to a dedicated treatment and combined isolation process performed by a removable single-use device wherein blood or plasma components are separated and subsequently treated individually to be eventually combined by the user outside the system. The system includes a platform and a removable single-use device both being designed to cooperate mechanically.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine of a manually operated implement, having an elastic connecting duct between the engine and an air filter for vibration-decoupled bridging of a vibration gap between engine and the air filter. The elastic connecting duct has a first conduit for fuel/air mixture and a second conduit for largely fuel-free air. The first and second conduits are separate tubes having respective bores that are separated from one another over their entire lengths, the inlet of the engine is operatively connected to the air filter via the first conduit, and an air duct window of the engine is operatively connected to the air filter via the second conduit.

Abstract: A two-stroke engine has a cylinder with a combustion chamber that is delimited by a reciprocating piston that drives with a connecting rod a crankshaft rotatably supported in a crankcase. In predetermined positions of the piston, the crankcase is connected by at least one transfer channel to the combustion chamber. The two-stroke engine has a mixture channel for supplying a fuel/air mixture and an air channel that supplies substantially fuel-free air to the transfer channel. In order to provide a simple adjustment of the air channel to different two-stroke engines of a model range, a component in which the air channel is formed has a throttle member that is arranged at an end face of the component. The throttle member throttles the air flow through the air channel in at least one operating state of the two-stroke engine.

Abstract: A connecting piece (1) between a carburetor (4) and an inlet channel (3) is disposed in an internal combustion engine (2) of a portable handheld motor-driven work apparatus such as a motor-driven chain saw, cutoff machine, et cetera. The connecting piece (1) serves to compensate for relative position changes between the engine (2) and the carburetor (4). The connecting piece (1) is made of elastic material and has an expansion fold (5) which functions to compensate for length changes. The length of the connecting piece can be changed from a pressed length (a) to an expanded length (b). The expansion fold (5) partitions the connecting piece (1) into a carburetor-end section (6) and into an engine-end section (7).

Abstract: A two-stroke engine (1) has a combustion chamber (3) disposed in a cylinder (2). The combustion chamber (3) is delimited by a reciprocating piston (5). The piston (5) drives a crankshaft (7) via a connecting rod (6) and the crankshaft (7) is rotatably journalled in a crankcase (4). The two-stroke engine (1) has an intake channel (8) for the supply of fuel into the crankcase (4), an outlet (13) for exhaust gases from the combustion chamber (3) and an air channel (10) for the supply of substantially fuel-free air. A throttle element (18) is mounted in the air channel (10). At pregiven positions of the piston (5), the crankcase (4) is connected via at least one transfer channel (14) to the combustion chamber (3).

Abstract: An elastic connecting piece (1) is mounted between a carburetor (4) and an inlet channel (3) of an internal combustion engine (2). The engine (2) is especially an engine of a portable handheld motor-driven work apparatus such as a motor-driven chain saw, cutoff machine or the like. The connecting piece (1) includes a peripherally extending expansion fold (5) arranged between its ends in order to compensate for changes in length. The expansion fold (5) subdivides the connecting piece (1) into a carburetor-end section (6) and into an engine-end section (7). The annular gap (28) of the expansion fold (5) can be bridged by a seal lip (8). The connecting piece (1) includes a peripherally extending seal seat (9) of axial length (g) in the region of the expansion fold (5). The seal lip (8) can be placed in seal-tight contact with the seal seat (9) and substantially closes the expansion fold (5) fluid tight to the interior space of the connecting piece (1).
