Provision is made for two pressure regulators connected in series, as well as for corresponding valves, which serve for the pressure reduction of the pressurized medium. A mobile transport device, which encompasses such a device, is further proposed.

Abstract: A method of winding the yarn traveling at a work station of a spinning bobbin winding machine or of a bobbin winding machine from a yarn source onto a take-up bobbin (4). After each yarn interruption, the yarn end is unwound from the take-up bobbin (4), a yarn joinder reconnects the yarn source and the take-up bobbin (4) and the winding process is then continued if a tolerable yarn joining location is present. Upon the occurrence of each yarn interruption, the amount of yarn wound since the last yarn joinder is determined. If such amount of yarn is determined to be less than a predetermined amount of yarn, a sufficient amount of yarn is unwound and separated from the take-up bobbin (4) to include the last-occurring yarn joining location in the separated yarn section. This results in an optical improvement in the quality of the finished textile product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a portable handheld tool such as a motor chain saw, cutoff machine or the like having a motor arranged in a housing. The motor drives a work tool via a drive pinion. The portable, handheld tool is provided with a handle arrangement for holding and guiding the tool with the handle arangement being decoupled from the motor system by antivibration elements. Soft antivibration elements are required to obtain high isolation; whereas, the antivibration elements have to be as stiff as possible in order to reliably guide and hold the handheld tool. The antivibration elements holding the handle arrangement on the side of the drive pinion are arranged to lie approximately in a common plane. This arrangement makes it possible to use softer antivibration elements without the required stiffness for guiding and holding becoming too low.

Abstract: A handheld portable tool has a drive unit connected to the handle via damping elements. The drive unit includes an internal combustion engine having a crankshaft. To reduce the vibration transmitted by the drive unit to the handles, a static or dynamic imbalance of defined position and quantity is provided on the crankshaft of the engine, as a result of which vibration in the handles is considerably reduced. An imbalancing weight may for instance be provided in the fan wheel, so that the crankshaft and its elements are manufactured and balanced in the same manner as before, and only the fan wheel has to be structurally modified.

Abstract: A portable handheld motor-driven tool such as a brushcutter or the like drives a work tool via a drive shaft. The drive shaft is coupled to the motor shaft and is journalled in the motor housing by means of damping member. The respective longitudinal axes of the motor shaft and drive shaft are displaced with respect to each other to prevent vibrations during operation of the motor-driven tool.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a braking arrangement for a chain saw and includes a brake band and a brake drum which form friction partners with their associated friction surfaces during braking.

Particularly suitable materials are those having a cubic face-centered lattice structure, such as, for example, austenitic steel or chrome-nickel steel.
