  • Publication number: 20240397861
    Abstract: A handheld work apparatus includes a housing with an upper housing part and a lower housing part, an electric motor arranged in the housing. A rotor shaft of the rotor is mounted relative to the housing by means of a first bearing and a second bearing so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. The rotor shaft extends in the direction of the axis of rotation from the upper housing part into the lower housing part. The first bearing is held by the upper housing part. The second bearing is held by the lower housing part, a receptacle formed at least partially on the upper housing part for fastening a tube to the housing— The upper housing part and the lower housing part at least partially overlap the stator in the direction of the axis of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20230403974
    Abstract: An assembly includes a mowing head (3), an output shaft (8), and a fastening device (10). The output shaft (8) is drivable in rotation about an axis of rotation (9). The assembly (2) has an anti-rotation lock (11) and an axial lock (16). The mowing head (3) is held corotatingly on the output shaft (8) by the anti-rotation lock (11). The axial lock (16) locks the mowing head (3) in a blocking position (30) of the output shaft (8) against a relative movement in the direction of the axis of rotation (9) of the output shaft (8) and in an inoperative position (31) releases the mowing head (3) for detachment from the output shaft (8). The fastening device (10) includes an actuating element (24) accessible to the operator. The axial lock (16) is switchable into the blocking position (30) and into the inoperative position (31) by the actuating element (24).

  • Patent number: 10813437
    Abstract: A carrying device for carrying a hand-guided power tool by a user has a shoulder strap and a lateral leg plate with a connecting unit for coupling a power tool to the carrying device. A support strap is connected with one end to the shoulder strap and the leg plate is slidably arranged at the support strap to slide along the support strap in a longitudinal direction thereof. A fixation device is arranged between support strap and leg plate and has a release position and a blocking position. In the release position, the leg plate is slidable along the support strap; in the blocking position, the leg plate is non-slidably secured on the support strap. The blocking position is correlated with a first working mode of the power tool; the release position is correlated with a second working mode of the power tool.
