  • Patent number: 12290022
    Abstract: A trimmer line spool has first and second spool chambers for a trimmer line. First and second holder pairs are provided. The first holder pair has first and second trimmer line holders associated with the first spool chamber and the second spool chamber, respectively. The second holder pair has first and second trimmer line holders associated with the first spool chamber and the second spool chamber, respectively. The trimmer line holders of the first holder pair each have a first opening for the trimmer line. The trimmer line holders of the second holder pair each have a second opening for the trimmer line. A diameter of the first openings is larger than a diameter of the second openings. The first openings are positioned at an angle of 150° to 210° to each other. The second openings are positioned at an angle of 150° to 210° to each other.

  • Publication number: 20060000200
    Abstract: In a method for adjusting the fuel/air ratio in an internal combustion engine (1) comprising a converter (2) which is associated therewith, a composition of waste gas in the waste gas wing (3, 8) of the internal combustion engine (1) is detected by means of sensors (4, 5) and output signals from at least one of the sensors (4, 5) are used for producing a control signal in order to influence the fuel/air ratio. The fuel/air ratio is switched back and forth between a lean operating state with surplus oxygen and a rich operating state with an oxygen deficit by means of a characteristic line of the control signal. The characteristic line of the control signal is adapted to a current converter state. A characteristic curve contour of the characteristic line is adjusted according to the addition and/or desorption of an oxidation agent in the converter (2). The invention also relates to a device for carrying out said method.
