Abstract: A bearing is provided for mounting the drive shaft of a work apparatus in a guide tube. The bearing includes a bearing tube defining a central axis and having a continuous bearing opening for receiving the drive shaft. The bearing opening is non-circular in at least one cross section. In the non-circular cross section, the bearing opening has first sections lying against an incircle of the bearing opening and second sections lying in the circumferential direction between the first sections. The second sections are at a distance from the incircle. The first sections are in the form of elevations whereat the inner wall of the bearing opening projects in the direction of the central axis. A work apparatus includes the bearing.

Abstract: A hand-guided working apparatus has a radial fan. The radial fan includes a fan impeller and an air duct, which has a spiral portion surrounding the fan impeller and has a duct cross section, which increases in the air flow direction. An outlet funnel portion adjoins the spiral portion, widens in a funnel shape in the air flow direction and has a radially inner boundary wall and a radially outer boundary wall. The outlet funnel portion ends in an air outlet opening, the outlet width of which is smaller than an outside diameter of the fan impeller. The radially inner and/or the radially outer boundary wall of the outlet funnel portion has a curvature opposed to that of the spiral portion. An intermediate wall is arranged in the outlet funnel portion, between the radially inner and the radially outer boundary wall.
