  • Patent number: 8059281
    Abstract: A hand-held device (10, 10?) for contactless distance measurement measures a distance (d) between a target object (18) and at least one reference point (20) of the device (10) using an emitted modulated measurement signal (16). The device includes a housing (12, 13, 56) with a first end (34) that faces the object (18) to be measured, and a second end (35) facing away from the object (18) to be measured. The housing includes an output unit (22, 28, 29, 31) for depicting measured results. Several measured distance values are to be assigned to at least one subsection of the path between the object (18) to be measured and the opposite end (35) of the housing (12, 13, 56) via a length-measurement scale (36, 38, 54) that is displayable in the output unit (22, 28, 29, 31).

  • Patent number: 7871227
    Abstract: The invention relates to an auxiliary device for a portable tool, comprising a receptacle (2) for a motor-operated portable tool (22) having an output shaft (26), and comprising a drive train (9) which has a tool receptacle (8), to be opened and closed by rotation, and which can be connected to the output shaft (26) of the motor-operated portable tool (22) via a coupling device. Provision is made for the auxiliary device (1) for the portable tool to have an anti-rotation locking means (13) acting on the drive train (9).

  • Publication number: 20090141261
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electro-optical output unit (30, 31, 32, 130, 132) for representing measured distance values, especially an electro-optical output unit (30, 31, 32, 130, 132) for a hand-held length-measuring device. The invention is characterized in that the output unit (30, 31, 32, 130, 132) is adapted to represent a variable length meter scale (40, 52, 140) which changes with varying measuring distance of the device to a reference point of the distance measurement. The invention also relates to a measuring device, especially a hand-held distance measuring device, comprising said electro-optical output unit.

  • Publication number: 20090033909
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10, 10?) for contactless distance measurement, especially a hand-held device which allows a distance (d) between a target object (18) and at least one reference point (20) of the device (10) to be determined by means of an emitted measuring signal (16), especially by means of a modulated measuring signal. Said device comprises at least one housing (12, 13, 56) with a first end (34) facing the object (18) to be measured and a second end (35) facing away from the object (18) to be measured, and an output unit (22, 28, 29, 31) for representing the results of measurement. The invention is characterized in that at least one subsection of the distance between the object (18) to be measured and the end (35) of the housing (12, 13, 56) facing away from the object can be associated with a plurality of measured distance values via a length meter scale (36, 38, 54) that can be represented by means of an output unit (22, 28, 29, 31).

  • Patent number: 7367842
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric connecting plug comprising a plug member provided with an internal contact and at least one external contact radially remote from the internal contact with respect to the longitudinal axis of the member. The plug member is received by a housing element which is applied by the internal part thereof on the contact side to the external part of the external contact in such a way that the external contact of the connecting plug is radially inwardly pressed against the external contact of a bush by the axial displacement of the plug member with respect to the housing element. In order to ease of handling the connecting plug, the invention is comprised of a plug member that is axially movably mounted in the housing element which is provided with a lever pivotally mounted thereon and effects the plug member in such a way that it is displaceable with respect to the plug element by actuating the lever.
