Abstract:
1. A handheld work apparatus comprising: a housing; an internal combustion engine mounted in said housing; a fuel-metering unit for metering fuel to said internal combustion engine and said fuel-metering unit also being mounted in said housing; a handle; at least one antivibration element connecting said handle to said housing; said handle and said housing conjointly defining a vibration gap therebetween; a throttle lever pivotally journalled on said handle so as to execute a pivotal movement; a transmitting unit for transmitting said pivotal movement of said throttle lever to said fuel-metering unit; said transmitting unit including: a rigid transmitting element for bridging said vibration gap; and, support means for rotatably supporting said transmitting element so as to permit rotation thereof about a rotational axis transverse to said vibration gap; interface means for operatively connecting said throttle lever to said transmitting element so as to cause said transmitting element to transmit said pivotal movement as a rotation about said rotational axis; said support means including a bearing unit located on said fuel-metering unit and said bearing unit being configured to rotatably support said transmitting element; said fuel-metering unit including a pivotally journalled throttle shaft; said transmitting unit being operatively connected to said shaft so as to act thereupon; said bearing unit being arranged on said throttle shaft; and, said bearing unit being configured as a bearing element rotatably mounted on said throttle shaft.
