  • Publication number: 20170014983
    Abstract: The striking pin (16) is arranged in a bearing (29). The striking pin (16) has a circumferential surface (25) and a stop surface (27) facing in the striking direction (11). The bearing (29) has a sleeve (30) arranged coaxially to the working axis (10) as well as a catcher (32). The circumferential surface (25) of the striking pin (16) is installed so as to slide on the inside of the sleeve (30). The catcher (32) is arranged in the striking direction (11) of the stop surface (27) of the striking pin (16) in order to limit the movement of the striking pin (16) in the striking direction (11). A connecting link (35) is provided for purposes of causing the striking pin (16) to execute a rotation relative to the bearing (29) when the striking pin (16) moves in the striking direction (11).

  • Patent number: 9221165
    Abstract: A tool receptacle is disclosed. The tool receptacle has a spindle which has a receiving area for receiving a tool and an elongated hole which is open into the receiving area in a radial direction. A barrier element disposed in the elongated hole projects into the receiving area and is movable in the elongated hole. A slider is used for sliding the barrier element to an output-side end of the elongated hole, where the slider is subject to the application of force by a first spring against an insertion direction. A radial limit stop forces the barrier element in the radial direction to engage in the receiving area. The radial limit stop is displaceable to enable a radial movement of the barrier element out of engagement with the receiving area. A second spring applies a spring force to the radial limit stop against the insertion direction.
