  • Patent number: 7407460
    Abstract: A planetary gearbox for a power tool has a planetary carrier and a rotatable sleeve with sun wheel toothing arranged centrally on the planetary carrier. The sleeve has a radial section with outer toothing. Planet wheels are positioned between planetary carrier and radial section and mesh with the sun wheel toothing. A switching ring gear surrounds the planet wheels and has an inner toothing meshing with the planet wheels. The switching ring gear is axiallay moveable on the planet wheels between first and second end positions for switching a transmission ratio. In the second end position the switching ring gear engages the outer toothing of the radial section. A synchronization disk, rotating with the rotary sleeve, is positioned between planet wheels and radial section and acts directly or indirectly by friction on the switching ring gear when the latter is moved from the first into the second end position.

  • Patent number: 7044882
    Abstract: A switchable gearbox of a handheld power tool has a gear having a first switching stage and a second switching stage arranged sequentially in an axial direction of the gear, wherein the gear comprises a gear arrangement movable in the axial direction of the gear between the first and second switching stages. An actuator is rotatable about an axis parallel to the axial direction of the gear. At least one shifting gate is rotatable together with the actuator wherein the shifting gate interacts with the gear arrangement for moving the gear arrangement in the axial direction. The shifting gate has a central area extending linearly and at a slant relative to a circumferential direction of the gear and end sections on each end of the central area, wherein the end sections extend parallel to the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 5706902
    Abstract: In a power hand tool, especially a screwdriver, with a motor, a planet gear and a rotary impulse generator, a spring mechanism is provided to damp vibrations of the housing caused by the rotary impulse generator. To improve the damping with a simple design, one end of a compression spring is supported on a ring, which in turn is guided at a coil which is parallel to the axis, on the one hand, and is guided displaceably in parallel to the axis between a part rigidly connected to the housing and a part exposed to the rotary impact, on the other hand. The other end of the compression spring is supported on a part rigidly connected to the housing.
