Abstract: A drilling and/or percussive hammer comprises a handle (10) and a hammer housing (1), which can move relative to the handle (10) and inside of which, among other things, a pneumatic spring percussive mechanism (4) is housed. The pneumatic spring of the pneumatic spring percussive mechanism (4) can be ventilated via a no-load operation duct (13, 15, 17, 26, 27) that is opened and closed by a valve (16, 17, 25). The valve (16, 17, 25) can be opened and closed according to a pressing force acting upon the handle (10). A delay device (18, 20, 21, 29, 30) controls the valve (16, 17, 25) during closing so that the valve reaches the position corresponding to the detected pressing force only with a time delay. This causes a smooth transition from the no-load operation to the percussive operation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a drilling and/or striking hammer that includes a lubricating device having a lubricant reservoir and a volume of lubricant contained therein. The lubricating device conveys lubricant to at least one a transmission system within the hammer's housing, a percussion system, and/or a tool holder at a variable dosing or flow rate. The dosing or flow rate varies as a function of tool stress which can include use intensity and/or temperature. A flexible tube extends between the reservoir and the lubricated component(s). At lease part of the flexible tube vibrates with the lubricated components during use and modifies a viscosity of the lubricant therein, based on tool use intensity. A pressure generating device can pressurize the lubricant, helping convey the lubricant to a targeted area for lubricating movable parts.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hand-held working tool, having a first unit, powered by a vibration on operation and a second unit which may be displaced relative to the first unit. A vibration isolation device is arranged between the first and second unit, having an actuator, for generation of a control force. An operational force acting in the working direction (A) between the first and the second unit may be at least partly compensated by the control force. The actuator is pneumatically operated and comprises an air spring for vibration isolation. A working piston in an air spring percussion device on the working tool serves to supply compressed air for the air spring. Alternatively, the compressed air can be supplied by the oscillating relative movement between the first unit and the second unit.
