  • Publication number: 20090218113
    Abstract: An electrical hand tool device (2) comprises a ventilated housing body (4), which has inlet and outlet openings (6, 8) for cooling air flow and accommodates the electromotive components (12) of the device, in particular, a motor (14) that is excited by a permanent magnet and is powered by a battery, and a magnet (22, 24) that is provided in the area of the cooling air flow for absorbing magnetic or magnetizable dust. In order to protect the electric motor, the device is designed in such a fashion that at least two magnets (22, 24) are provided in the axial direction (26) between the inlet openings (6, 8) and the electromotive components (12) of the device, and a means (30) is provided, which electrically cooperates with the at least two magnets (22, 24) to determine whether a substantial amount of magnetizable dust has collected on the magnets (22, 24), in which case, a control measure can be performed.

  • Patent number: 7570013
    Abstract: A rechargeable battery pack (20), in particular, for use with electrical hand tool devices, comprises a first and a second charging connection (24, 26), and a third control connection (28), all three being connectable to a charging device (46) for producing a charging connection, and with a calculating means (30) which can be addressed via an interface circuit (32), wherein the interface circuit uses the third control connection (28). In order to prevent destruction of the rechargeable battery pack due to erroneous charging, a non-linear component (34) is disposed in the interface circuit (32) which, upon control of the interface circuit (32) by the charging device (46), can be distinguished from an NTC component, thereby permitting detection of the rechargeable battery type when the calculating means (30) provides no identification information in response to control by the charging device (46).

  • Patent number: 7537540
    Abstract: An electric motor-driven screw driving or drilling tool device with a planetary gear, comprising a ring gear and planet wheels mating with the ring gear, wherein the ring gear can be locked and fixed relative to the housing via locking bodies which are pretensioned by springs in a radially inward direction, the locking bodies being radially outwardly displaceable when a switch-off torque has been exceeded, such that the ring gear can be rotated relative to the housing, and the drive shaft is no longer driven. In order to improve the ease of operation of the device and reduce its size, the invention proposes leaf springs which extend in the peripheral direction of the ring gear, whose lever arm lengths can be adjusted in a peripheral direction to generate different bending forces acting on a respective locking body.
