Abstract: Plant cutter apparatus includes a handling rod, a drive source unit mounted on one end portion of the handling rod via a clutch case, and a cutter blade mounted on the other end portion of the handling rod for being rotated by activation of the drive source unit. With the handling rod inserted in an axial loosely-fitting hole of the clutch case, the one end portion of the handling rod abuts at its end surface against an abutting region formed on the way through the loosely-fitting hole. The drive source unit is supported by the end surface of the handling rod via a drive-source mounting portion of the clutch case. The drive source unit is allowed to freely vibrate about the one end portion of the handling rod supporting the unit, so that a flexible coupling portion of the clutch case can perform a vibration attenuation function to reduce vibrations transmitted from the drive source unit to the handling rod.

Abstract: The venting valve assembly for casting moulds comprises a venting valve for closing a venting channel. The venting valve comprises a valve housing in which a closure member is received that is movable between an open position and a closed position.      The closure member can be frictionally locked in its open position and simultaneously biased in closing direction. For frictionally locking the closure member, a chamber is provided that can be put under a hydraulic overpressure. The chamber has a wall portion that bulges towards the closure member in response to the over-pressure. The wall portion is resilient such that it moves back to a position releasing the closure member once the overpressure in the chamber is reduced. For reducing the pressure in the chamber, a release valve is provided which is controlled by a sensor de-tecting any casting material penetrating into the venting channel.      The biasing of the closure member in closing direction is per-formed pneumatically.
