  • Patent number: 5678641
    Abstract: A drilling and/or chipping tool includes a housing (30) containing a guide tube (36) with a striking mechanism (28) located within the guide tube, with the guide tube and striking mechanism being displaceable in the striking direction relative to the housing. Damping elements abut between the guide tube and the housing. Rotary motion is transmitted from a drive motor (31), located in a stationary position within the housing, in a wear-free manner to a crankshaft (34) of the striking mechanism (28) by an axial displaceable compensation element (33), so that the striking mechanism is displaceable in the striking direction relative to the drive shaft (32) of the drive motor (31).

  • Patent number: 5009440
    Abstract: A tool chuck for holding axially extending the shank end of a tool bit includes a guide tube with an adapter sleeve encircling and being rotatable relative to the guide tube for securing holding segments in engagement with the tool bit. The holding segments are U-shaped in section transverse to the axial direction of the guide tube. Each U-shaped holding segment has a pair of inwardly directed legs engageable within grooves in the shank end of the inserted tool bit. One of the legs forms a locking element while the other acts as an entrainment strip. By turning the adapter sleeve around the guide tube, either the entire holding segment or only the entrainment strip can be displaced radially outwardly out of contact with the shank end of the tool bit. The adapter sleeve has displacement recesses in its inner surface facing the outer surface of the holding segments for receiving the holding segment in the outwardly displaced condition.

  • Patent number: 4998588
    Abstract: A hand tool has a shifting gear unit containing an output drive shaft. The drive shaft can be coupled with different gears by a connecting device so that a coupled gear drives the shaft. The connecting device is displaced by a slide and the slide is, in turn, displaced by a rotatable handle. Drive cams on the handle seat in engagement recesses in the slide. The drive cams and engagement recesses are spaced equal distances apart, so that as the handle is rotated, the drive cams, one after the other, entrain the engagement recesses and move the slide.

  • Patent number: 4878679
    Abstract: A hand-held device, such as a hammer drill, has a replaceable axially extending holder for a working tool. The device includes a sensor and a signal transmitter for adjusting its operating characteristics. The holder has through openings containing locking elements and control elements. The locking elements and control elements are radially displaceable within the through openings by a locking sleeve. The position of the locking sleeve in the axial direction of and relative to the holder determines the cooperation of the sensor and the signal transmitters.

  • Patent number: 4775159
    Abstract: A chuck for receiving and holding the shank of a drilling tool includes a chuck member with a central bore. An anvil for transmitting axially directed percussive force extends into a rear end of the central bore. Clamping jaws are movable in guide channels formed in the chuck member extending into the central bore ahead of the anvil for frictionally locking the shank. In the region of the chuck member into which the anvil is located, there is a radially extending passageway through the chuck member extending between the central bore and a guide channel. A retaining member is radially displaceable through the passageway and has a dimension so that it can project outwardly or inwardly from the passageway. When the remaining member extends radially inwardly from the passageway, it can seat within an annular groove in the anvil and hold the anvil in a position so that it does not transmit percussive force.

  • Patent number: 4775160
    Abstract: A clamping chuck for securing a drill bit, chisel bit or the like in a drilling tool includes a guide sleeve into which the bit is inserted. Clamping jaws are radially displaceably mounted in the guide sleeve with a setting sleeve encircling the jaws. By axially displacing the setting sleeve relative to the guide sleeve the jaws can be radially displaced in gripping engagement with the bit. The setting sleeve has radially inwardly facing surfaces in contact with radially outwardly facing surfaces on the jaws. Retaining elements secured in the setting sleeve engage in slots in the jaws for guiding the jaws. The retaining elements can be strip-like elements extending through the slots in the jaws with the elements having a thickness corresponding to the slot width.

  • Patent number: 4655464
    Abstract: In a drill chuck for securing the shank of a tool in a hand-held device, clamping jaws are mounted in a chuck member and bear radially outwardly against the conically shaped surface in a first sleeve into which the tool shank is inserted. A second sleeve is connected to the first sleeve and is threaded engagement with the chuck member. A locking or third sleeve is located about the first and second sleeves. The third sleeve is axially displaceable between a first position and a second position. In the first position the third sleeve engages the first and second sleeves so that the second sleeve cannot be rotated relative to the first sleeve or the chuck member and the tool shank can be locked by the clamping jaws. When the third sleeve is displaced into the second position, the second sleeve is released and can be rotated relative to the chuck member for axially displacing the first sleeve relative to the chuck member and adjusting the radial position of the clamping jaws.
