  • Patent number: 9864089
    Abstract: A detector with a telescoping support tube wherein a measuring probe is arranged at a front of a forward tube element and an electronics unit with a battery compartment, a handle element and axially offset rearward therefrom a U-shaped arm shell with two arm support bars are arranged at a rear tube element, wherein the arm support bars are pivotable relative to the rear tube element. The arm shell is axially moveable relative to the handle element and includes two arm shell elements which are laterally arranged at a support slide and pivotably moveable in a transversal direction of the support tube. The support slide is supported axially moveable by a support rail. According to the invention it is provided that the support slide is fixateable in a disengageable manner at the support rail at various locations through the arm shell elements.

  • Patent number: 9041401
    Abstract: A detector with a telescopic carrier/guide rod on which at one end a measuring probe is disposed, whereby the carrier/guide rod comprises at least two anti-twist tubes longitudinally movable and lockable in one another, which form an outer tube and an inner tube, whereby the tubes comprise a linear sliding guide as an anti-twist lock relative to one another. The linear sliding guide comprises at least one longitudinal rib extending inside over the entire length of the outer tube and at least one rib guide extending outside over a partial length of the inner tube on the insertion side of tube end with a recess with which the longitudinal rib engages. The rib guide is formed by a guide sleeve, which is divided in a circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 9021661
    Abstract: A detector with a telescopic carrier/guide rod at which a measuring probe is disposed at one end, wherein the carrier/guide rod features at least two tubes longitudinally movable inside one another, in which respectively two tubes disposed adjacently in radial direction form an outer tube and an inner tube, whereby the respective outer tube at its overlapping tube end facing the measuring probe features a clamping means for engaging the inner tube. In accordance with this invention, the clamping means is formed as a clamping device that features a profile clamp with a quick-locking device. The profile clamp comprises a holding ring with two half shell-shaped clamping ring segments that are interconnected flexibly on one side and on the opposite side they can be clamped together with a clamping lever.

  • Publication number: 20100000750
    Abstract: The invention relates to an impact wrench having a drive motor for driving a drive shaft (30) and an output shaft (10) that can be coupled to a tool holder, and having an impact mechanism, the impact mechanism comprising an anvil (14) coupled to the output shaft (10), and having a hammer (20), which is guided on the drive shaft (30) and rotates with the latter in the case of non-impact and, in the case of impact, executes a rotational movement relative to the drive shaft (30), an actuating means (23) being provided for switching the impact mechanism between an operating mode with the impact mechanism switched on and an operating mode with the impact mechanism switched off, the actuating means (23), in a first position, the impact mechanism having been switched on, being in rotationally fixed engagement with the drive shaft (30) or the hammer (20), or being without engagement with the hammer (20) or the drive shaft (30), and, in a second position, the impact mechanism having been switched off, being in rotatio
