Patent number: 7635032Abstract: A hand-held drill hammer has a housing, a shaft (12) connected to a drive shaft (30), and a lifting bearing (14). The lifting bearing (14) is supported and the shaft (12) for converting rotary motion into a reciprocating motion. In a first switching configuration, a percussion drive connection exists between the shaft (12) and the lifting bearing (14). In a second switching configuration, the percussion drive connection is interrupted. The lifting bearing (14) may be fixed with respect to a reference system of the housing in the second switching configuration.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2006Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Dietmar Saur, Helmut Heinzelmann

Publication number: 20090277659Abstract: A hammer drill for manually guided operation includes an electric drive motor, a tool spindle and a pneumatic hammer function. The hammer drill includes a pressure piston, a striker, and a beat piece for striking axially against a tool that is held by the tool spindle. When the striker reaches a forward limit position, an end section thereof protrudes into a retaining ring that is aligned coaxially with the spindle axis. Manufacturing quality can be improved by bracing the retaining ring against an annular collar in the tool spindle on the one side and axially against a locking ring set in an annular groove conformed in the tool spindle via a retaining disc on the other side. The retaining ring, the retaining disc and the non-return disc are each mirror-symmetrical.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2009Publication date: November 12, 2009Inventors: Andreas Roelfs, Rainer Kumpf

Patent number: 7588097Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a technique for further improving the vibration reducing performance in a power impact tool that linearly drives a tool bit by using a swinging mechanism. According to the invention, a representative power impact tool is provided with a motor, a rotating shaft, a swinging member, a tool driving mechanism and a counter weight. The swinging member is supported by the rotating shaft to swing in the axial direction of the rotating shaft by rotation of the rotating shaft. The counter weight is disposed in a region higher than a lower end region of the swinging member in the vertical direction to intersect with the axis of the rotating shaft, and a lower end of the counter weight is connected to the lower end region of the swinging member.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2007Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Makita CorporationInventors: Hikaru Kamegai, Kiyonobu Yoshikane

Patent number: 7578358Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2008Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: AEG Electric Tools GmbHInventors: Achim Hess, Stefan Pohl, Markus Wörner, Hans Klöpfer

Patent number: 7562721Abstract: A vibration reduction apparatus for use with a hammer tool having a hammer piston is disclosed. The hammer piston is caused to reciprocate in the cylinder by rotation of a gear wheel and crank drive. A cam is mounted around the gear wheel, a counterweight surrounds the piston cylinder, and a cam follower is provided on the counterweight. The cam follower on the counterweight is urged into contact with the cam by a biasing element. The external profile of the cam is such that rotation of the gear wheel causes oscillation of the counterweight in antiphase to motion of the hammer piston to counteract vibrations produced by operation of the hammer action of the tool. A mechanism is provided to deactivate the vibration reduction apparatus when the hammer action of the tool is deactivated.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2008Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Michael Stirm, Heinz-Werner Faatz

Publication number: 20090126962Abstract: When the mode change knob of a multi-mode hammer drill is moved to the hammer only position, an electronic sensor sends a signal to a control logic circuit. When the user then depresses the trigger mechanically closing the ON/OFF switch, the control logic circuit applies a voltage either to a holding relay or to the gate of a triac which enables the relay or triac to conduct, thus providing a parallel circuit by-passing the ON/OFF switch. Consequently, when the user releases the trigger and opens the ON/OFF switch, the parallel relay or triac maintains current flow to the motor. It can be seen that in hammer only mode the user can activate the hammer drill by simply tapping the trigger to depress it and does not need to hold down trigger during use of the hammer in operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2009Publication date: May 21, 2009Inventors: Achim Jung, Rene Jager, Ian S.
