  • Patent number: 5707275
    Abstract: In a clamping device for clamping a disk-shaped tool to a threaded spindle of a hand-held machine tool, a nut part, which can be screwed onto the threaded spindle, presses a face plate against the tool. An axial rolling bearing is arranged between the nut part and the face plate. To achieve simple and reliable manual clamping and release, in conjunction with a slip clutch function under overload, a spring is arranged between the face plate and the nut part next to the axial rolling bearing. The spring forms a non-rotatable frictionally engaged connection between the nut part and the face plate. The axial rolling bearing supports the face plate on the nut part. The nut part slips in relation to the face plate when an upper limit value of the torque transmitted is exceeded, and the axial rolling bearing rotates.

  • Patent number: 5437465
    Abstract: A spindle sleeve (4) is provided for the rotary operation in a tool changing device on a hand-operated machine tool, especially a drill hammer for optional operation with a hammer drill or with another tool. To make rapid tool change possible with a simple design, a locking body (7), which co-rotates with the spindle sleeve (4), is mounted in at least one perforation (6) of the spindle sleeve (4). An adapter (14), on which the corresponding tool can be fixed, can be axially inserted into the spindle sleeve (4) with a guide surface (22, 23), and has depressions (13) for the locking bodies (7) for nonrotatable and axially nondisplaceable connection to the spindle sleeve (4). An outer sleeve (8), which blocks the locking bodies (7) in the depressions (13) in a locking position and radially releases them in its release position, is displaceably arranged on the spindle sleeve (4).
