Abstract: The invention is directed to a cutterhead for a portable handheld brushcutter for cutting grass, weeds and the like. The cutterhead includes a housing which holds a spool for the cutting filament. Two spool chambers are formed on the periphery of the spool by a radial partition wall. A cutting filament is wound in each of the spool chambers and each of the cutting filaments is assigned an exit opening in the housing which extends into free space. The partition wall lies at the same axial elevation with the exit openings. The partition wall is provided with at least one lead-in channel through which the filament is guided into the interior of the spool when inserted. A reliable introduction of the filament is provided by a simple configuration of the cutterhead and makes a reliable wind-up and pay-out of the filament possible. This is achieved by providing a lead-in channel for each spool chamber with the entrance of the lead-in channel being defined by an insert funnel.

Abstract: A gearhead assembly between a drive shaft and an output shaft of a trimmer arranged parallel but staggered to one another, includes a bearing shaft extending perpendicularly between the drive shaft and the output shaft. The bearing shaft has a first end supported in the first housing part and a second end supported in the second housing. A central gear is mounted on the bearing shaft. A clamping device has a clamping shaft that has a first and a second opposed ends engaging the first and second housing parts. The second housing part together with the output shaft is pivotable about the bearing shaft relative to the first housing part in a plane parallel to the axial direction of the drive shaft. The bearing shaft is a hub, and the clamping shaft penetrates the hub.

Abstract: A tank closing device for a container includes a filler neck at the container and a closing member received in the filler neck. A closing cap is securable at the filler neck by a bayonet fitting. A sealing element is arranged at the closing member. A spring rests at the closing cap and biases the sealing element against the filler neck. The closing cap has a top face and a gripping member projecting upwardly from the top face. The bayonet fitting includes at least three socket elements at a circumferential surface of the closure cap or the filler neck and includes at least three dogs cooperating with the at least three socket elements and arranged on an opposing circumferential surface of the closing cap or the filler neck. The socket elements or the dogs or both the socket elements and the dogs are unevenly distributed over the circumferential surface, respectively.

Abstract: A cutting machine having a rotatingly driven cutting tool (2) and a tool guard (1). The tool guard (1) has a first tool guard part (11) which is fixedly mounted with respect to the apparatus and a second tool guard part (12) which can be pivotably mounted relative to the first tool guard part (11). Each tool guard part includes side walls (30, 32) lying adjacent to respective sides of the cutting tool and a center web which connects the two side walls to each other. The center web (31) extends curved in the peripheral direction and is disposed above the cutting tool (2). In order to perform a disturbance-free pendular cut, the pivotable second tool guard part (12) carries a slide piece (40) which projects beyond the end edge (34) of the center web (31) and has a rounded outer slide surface (35) facing away from the center web (31). The end edge (34) faces away from the fixed first tool guard part (11).

Abstract: A hand-held working tool has a housing and an air cooled internal combustion engine with cooling ribs positioned in the housing. A sealed carburetor box is connected to the internal combustion engine. A blower is positioned in the housing for supplying cooling air to the combustion engine. The blower sucks in cooling air in the axial direction of the blower and conveys it tangentially in the direction of rotation of the blower to the cooling ribs. The housing has a blower cover. A combustion air channel is positioned on a pressure side of the blower and connected to the blower cover and the carburetor box, and the internal combustion engine sucks in combustion air through the carburetor box. The channel has an inlet for branching off combustion air from the cooling air flow that is conveyed to the combustion engine. The inlet is in the form of at least one slot within the blower cover. The inlet has at least one deflecting element with a deflecting front surface for guiding the cooling air and a back side.

Abstract: An actuating device for a decompression valve of an internal combustion engine with a cable starter, wherein the decompression valve is positioned within the cylinder of the internal combustion engine and comprises a valve member biased into its closed position, has a transmission lever having a longitudinal extension and being rotatable about its longitudinal axis. The transmission lever has a first and a second end. A cable drum for receiving the starter cable of the cable starter is provided. The cable drum has an axis of rotation about which the cable drum is rotated when the starter cable is pulled. The longitudinal axis of the transmission lever is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the cable drum and spaced from the rotational plane of the cable drum.
