  • Patent number: 12673408
    Abstract: A work apparatus has an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine includes a crankcase in which a crankshaft is mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation. The work apparatus includes a fan spiral and a fan wheel arranged in the fan spiral for conveying cooling air for the internal combustion engine. A cylinder is arranged on the crankcase, and the cylinder includes a first outer side facing the fan wheel and a second outer side facing away from the fan wheel. The fan spiral has a first outlet opening for a first cooling air flow for cooling the first outer side of the cylinder. The fan spiral has a second outlet opening for a second cooling air flow for cooling the second outer side of the cylinder.

  • Patent number: 11976587
    Abstract: A two-stroke engine includes a cylinder having a combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is delimited by a piston guided in a reciprocating manner in the cylinder and drives a crankshaft. A first intake channel opens into the crankcase interior. A transfer channel opens into the crankcase interior via a transfer window on a cylinder bore of the cylinder and via a passage opening. A second intake channel is provided for supplying scavenging air to the transfer channel. The first intake channel and the second intake channel are configured for supplying air. An injection valve configured for injecting the entire quantity of fuel to be supplied to the engine directly into the crankcase interior is disposed on the crankcase. A method for operating a two-stroke engine provides that the entire quantity of fuel to be supplied to the engine via a metering installation is supplied directly to the crankcase interior.

  • Patent number: 9874225
    Abstract: A vacuum device has a motor-driven blower wheel with suction side and with pressure side with pressure channel and blow-out opening. An intake pipe at the suction side has an intake opening and a discharge opening at opposed ends. The intake pipe conveys a suction airflow entraining first and second collected materials. Through the discharge opening the first collected material is discharged from the intake pipe. A blower inlet opening is formed in a wall of the intake pipe. Blower inlet opening, blower wheel, and pressure channel are configured such that second collected material passes through blower inlet opening and blower wheel into the pressure channel for discharge through blow-out opening. The blower inlet opening, in longitudinal direction of the intake pipe, is positioned between discharge opening and intake opening at a first spacing to the intake opening and at a second spacing to the discharge opening.
