Handheld work apparatus having a work tool and a brake assembly for the work tool

A work apparatus comprising:

• a work tool;
• a brake assembly for said work tool;
• said brake assembly including a brake element and an actuating element for acting on said brake element;
• said actuating element being movable between a first position wherein said brake element does not brake said work tool and a second position wherein said brake element brakes said work tool;
• an anchor mounted on said actuating element and conjointly defining an interface therewith;
• said brake assembly having an electromagnet configured to fix said anchor in said first position of said actuating element;
• said electromagnet including a yoke and a coil surrounding said yoke;
• a holding unit disposed at said interface and including an anchor pin for holding said anchor on said actuating element and a pivot joint;
• said anchor being held via said pivot joint on said anchor pin so as to be pivotable about at least one pivot axis;
• said yoke defining a contact plane whereat said anchor lies against said yoke when said actuating element is in said first position;
• said at least one pivot axis lying parallel to said contact plane;
• said yoke being displaceable in a direction parallel to said contact plane relative to said actuating element;
• said anchor being tiltable relative to said anchor pin through a tilt angle β;
• said anchor pin being tiltable relative to said actuating element through a tilt angle α;
• and,
• said tilt angle β being at least as large as said tilt angle α upon maximum displacement (e) of said yoke relative to said actuating element.
