Patent number: 10759035Abstract: A suction extraction device has a fan, a suction head, a channel leading from the suction head to the fan, a dust filter and a collection container to hold the dust that has been deposited on the dust filter. The suction head has a tubular cavity that is arranged around the working axis and that serves to accommodate the connection section of the suction drill bit. Arranged in the cavity is a flow sensor that has a sensor surface facing the working axis and that serves to emit a measuring signal that is indicative of the air flow that is striking the sensor surface. An evaluation unit emits an error signal in response to the measuring signal if the measuring signal is lower than a threshold value for at least a prescribed period of time, whereas it suppresses the error signal if the measuring signal exceeds the threshold value during the prescribed period of time. A signaling unit displays the error signal to a user.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2015Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventor: Hans Appel

Patent number: 9656361Abstract: A dust removal system handheld power tool includes a fan (18) to generate an air flow (19), a suction nozzle (27) to capture dust-laden air from a tool (4), and a collecting container (22) to collect the dust. The collecting container (22) has a suction opening (27) connected to the suction nozzle (27) as well as an exhaust opening (28) connected to the fan (18). A filter (29) serves to separate dust into the collecting container (22) and is arranged so as to cover the exhaust opening (28). The filter (29) has several consecutive fins (18) arranged one beside the other in a direction (y) that is perpendicular to the direction (z) of the air flow (19). The fins (18) are slanted with respect to each other. The slant (42) of the fins (44) reduces the adhesion of the dust to the fins (44).Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2014Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hans Appel, Quirin Wahle

Patent number: 9067292Abstract: A vacuum device for a drilling hand tool includes a housing, a connection piece, a blower, and a collecting vessel. A drilling tool can be plugged into and through the connection device along a working axis. The blower conveys dust-laden air from the connection piece into the collecting vessel. The connection vessel includes a tray cartridge which can be removed from the housing, and a locking bar. The locking bar is hinged on the tray cartridge or on the housing and can pivot between a locking position and an unlocked position. When the locking bar is in the locking position, it presses the tray cartridge against the housing to provide pretensioning.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2012Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: HILTI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventor: Hans Appel

Patent number: 8609883Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous method for producing acyl peroxides. According to said method, an acyl chloride, carboxylic acid anhydride or chloroformate is reacted with an organic hydroperoxide or hydrogen peroxide in at least two mixed reaction zones that are connected in series, the acyl compound, the peroxy compound and an aqueous solution of a base being supplied to the first reaction zone. The first reaction zone comprises a cycle for the two-phase reaction mixture via a heat exchanger in which the reaction mixture is cooled. The method allows the reaction to be carried out reliably and with high space-time yields.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2007Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: United Initiators GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8017801Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing acyl peroxides. According to the method, an acyl compound is reacted with an organic hydroperoxide and a base, to generate a two-phase mixture. The pH of the two-phase mixture is adjusted to 6 to 13. The obtained organic phase is extracted with an aqueous solution of a base and the aqueous extract is recirculated to the reaction step. The method according to the invention allows the recirculation of unreacted hydroperoxide to the reaction step.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2007Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: United Initiators GmbH & Co.
