A twist grip throttle assembly and weed trimmer utilizing the same are described herein. The weed trimmer has a power head on an upper end of a drive shaft assembly. The power head has a power provider, such as a gas powered motor. A base assembly with a cutter head for receiving wrapped cord is on a lower end of the drive shaft assembly. A throttle activator includes a tubular member rotationally mounted on the drive shaft assembly. The tubular member defines a gripping area. Twisting rotation of the throttle activator adjusts an amount of power produced by said power provider.

A manually guided implement possesses a guide tube, wherein a first mass body is disposed on a first end of the guide tube, and a second mass body is disposed on a second end of the guide tube. One of the mass bodies has a housing, and the other of the mass bodies has a tool driven by a drive motor. A power transmission mechanism for driving the tool between the first and second ends of the guide tube is guided in the interior of the guide tube. A first antivibration element is disposed between the first end of the guide tube and the first mass body. The guide tube in the direction of the longitudinal central axis thereof includes a first rigid sub-portion and a second rigid sub-portion that are connected to one another at an abutment location by at least one second antivibration element.

This brush cutter includes: a drive unit; a working unit which is driven by power of the drive unit; a shaft which transmits the power of the drive unit to the working unit; a tubular portion which is disposed between the drive unit and the working unit, and in which the shaft is inserted; a floating box which has a handle support portion; and a handle which is supported by the handle support portion. The brush cutter is provided with a vibration absorbing member which fits in a tubular portion side fitting portion provided in the tubular portion and fits in a box side fitting portion provided in the floating box.

A work vehicle includes a vehicle body, a pair of left and right driving wheels that movably support the vehicle body, a pair of motors capable of rotatably driving the left and right driving wheels respectively, a pair of maneuvering levers pivotally supported to the vehicle body to be pivotable about a horizontal axis extending in a vehicle body transverse direction and capable of adjusting rotational speeds respectively of the left and right driving wheels and a pair of dynamic vibration absorbing portions supported to respective free end portions of the maneuvering levers and capable of suppressing vibrations of the maneuvering levers.

Provided is a portable brush cutter with reduced weight and size due to its simple structure with a small number of components that is capable of improving durability and the like as well as effectively suppressing torsional vibration of a transmission shaft. In the portable brush cutter, a one-way clutch to prevent generation of torsional vibration in a rotation transmission path is interposed between an output shaft and a transmission shaft, and bearings are adjacently mounted on the opposite sides of the one-way clutch.

A telescopic drive shaft in a protective tube of a handheld work apparatus has one end connected to a rotational drive and the other end thereof to a driven tool. The drive shaft includes a rigid shaft segment and a connecting section. The rigid shaft segment has a hollow shaft end portion and an engagement length (E) of the connecting section engages therein. The engagement length (E) and the length of the hollow shaft end portion mutually overlap to form a joining section. The hollow shaft end portion is deformed for connecting the connecting section to the rigid shaft segment. The material of the hollow shaft end portion is compressed over its entire periphery and deformed so that the material of the hollow shaft end portion is radially displaced and is pressed in a rotative manner onto the engagement length (E) to produce a balanced, loadable connection.

A tool head for a hand-guided implement possesses two rotatably mounted tools, wherein a first tool is drivable via a first linkage and a second tool is drivable via a second linkage. The tools are drivable so that they rotate back and forth in opposite directions about a common rotational axis. The first linkage possesses a first drive member coupled to a first coupling member pivotably about a first link axis. The first coupling member is coupled to the first tool pivotably about a second link axis. The second linkage possesses a second drive member coupled to a second coupling member pivotably about a third link axis. The second coupling member is coupled to the second tool pivotably about a fourth link axis. The rotational axis of the tools and the coupling drive axis span a center plane, which runs between the second link axis and the fourth link axis.

A handheld work apparatus includes a motor, a transmission shaft, a tool, a guide tube, a housing, and a first anti-vibration element. The motor via the transmission shaft drives the tool. The transmission shaft is received in the guide tube. The motor is disposed in the housing. The tool is disposed on a front longitudinal end of the guide tube. The housing is disposed on the rear longitudinal end of the guide tube. The housing at least partially encompasses the guide tube, wherein the guide tube projects from the housing. The first anti-vibration element is disposed such that it acts in a vibration-decoupling manner between the housing and the guide tube. The first anti-vibration element is disposed on that side of the motor facing the tool. The handheld work apparatus includes a second anti-vibration element connecting the motor to the housing in an at least indirectly vibration-decoupled manner.

A work vehicle including a vehicle body, a pair of left and right driving wheels that movably support the vehicle body, a pair of motors capable of rotatably driving the left and right driving wheels respectively, a pair of maneuvering levers pivotally supported to the vehicle body to be pivotable about a horizontal axis extending in a vehicle body transverse direction and capable of adjusting rotational speeds of the left and right driving wheels respectively, and a pair of solid dynamic vibration absorbing portions supported to respective free end portions of the maneuvering levers and capable of suppressing vibrations of the maneuvering levers, wherein each solid dynamic vibration absorbing portion of the pair of solid dynamic vibration absorbing portions includes a weight within an elastic body, wherein the weight and the elastic body have equal longitudinal lengths.
