  • Patent number: 9993937
    Abstract: A power tool has a tool unit arranged between housing and housing cover. A stud bolt secured on the housing projects through a cover opening to the exterior. A support sleeve of the housing cover is provided with the cover opening and with a support surface for a fastening element screwed onto the stud bolt to secure the housing cover on the housing. The fastening element has a first section arranged at the cover exterior and delimited by a circumferential contour with flats. A maximum radial distance of the outer circumference of the support sleeve relative to the longitudinal center axis of the stud bolt at the support surface and at an adjoining first section of the support sleeve is at most as large as half the width across flats of the fastening element; a tool engaging the flats thus fits across the first section of the support sleeve.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8215278
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine having a cylinder, a fuel-supply mechanism, and an elastic connector for connecting the fuel supply mechanism to the cylinder. The connector has a first channel for fuel/air mixture and a second channel for combustion air. The connector has a first connection end and a second connection end at which the two channels open out. The two channels are separated from one another by a partition that extends in the longitudinal direction of the channels. The partition is twisted about its longitudinal central axis between the first and second connection ends to achieve a great elasticity of the connector. To produce the elastic connector, a respective core is used for each channel, and the cores are moved relative to one another to enable removal of the connector from a mold.
