  • Patent number: 10639777
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive-in device, comprising a drive-in piston, guided in a cylinder, for driving a nail member into a workpiece, and a combustion chamber arranged above the drive-in piston, said combustion chamber being Tillable with a combustion gas, wherein the combustion chamber has a bottom that is adjustable along an axis, wherein the bottom has a groove that extends in the circumferential direction and has an inserted seal which bears in a radial direction against a rigid combustion-chamber wall, wherein a front surface, in the axial direction, of the seal protrudes in the direction of the axis from a terminating plane of the groove.

  • Publication number: 20170348840
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive-in device, comprising a drive-in piston which is guided in a cylinder for driving a nail element into a workpiece and comprising a combustion chamber which is arranged over the drive-in piston and which can be filled with a combustion gas, said combustion chamber comprising a cylindrical portion which is symmetrical about a central axis (A). A movable combustion chamber wall of the combustion chamber can be adjusted along the central axis (A), and a spring is supported between the movable combustion chamber wall and a housing. A force vector (F) of the spring has a lateral offset (V) with respect to the central axis (A).

  • Publication number: 20160325419
    Abstract: A work tool for driving a securing element into a substructure is disclosed. The work tool includes a guide channel for the securing element, a piston that is pushable towards the securing element proceeding from a starting position in which the piston is at rest, so as to transmit energy to the securing element arranged in the guide channel, a feed device for conveying the securing element into the guide channel, and a feed-delay device for delaying the securing element being conveyed into the guide channel until the piston has returned into the starting position following a driving process.

  • Patent number: 7578358
    Abstract: A hand-held hammer drill has a housing, a tool spindle rotatingly driving a tool, a hammer action percussion-driving the tool, a swash plate drive driving the hammer action, and a countershaft driving as needed the tool spindle and the hammer action. A first bearing and an axial bearing are provided. The hub is rotatably supported in a cantilevered arrangement by the first bearing in the housing and coaxially surrounds the countershaft. The hub has a free cantilevered end and the axial bearing is disposed on the free cantilevered end, wherein the axial bearing axially supports the countershaft and has radial play relative to the countershaft.
