Abstract:
1. A portable handheld work apparatus comprising: a housing; an internal combustion engine mounted in said housing; a fuel-metering device for metering fuel to said internal combustion engine; 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 device; said transmitting unit including: a rigid transmitting element for bridging said vibration gap; support means for rotatably supporting said transmitting element for rotation about a rotational axis transverse to said vibration gap; said handle undergoing movements relative to said housing in a direction along said rotational axis during operation of said work apparatus; said support means further supporting said transmitting element so as not to permit said movements to be transmitted by said transmitting element; and, 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.
