  • Patent number: 11833652
    Abstract: A power tool for chiseling and drilling includes a housing, a motor disposed inside the housing, and a pneumatic percussion mechanism. An operation mode selector switch is disposed on the housing and has a first operation mode setting and a second operation mode setting where the first operation mode setting activates the pneumatic percussion mechanism and the second operation mode setting deactivates the pneumatic percussion mechanism. A valve has an inlet-port formed inside the guiding tube and an outlet-port formed outside the guiding tube where the valve is connected to the operation mode selector switch. The valve is closed in the first operation mode setting which disables an air exchange between the inlet-port and the outlet-port and the valve is open in the second operation mode setting which enables the air exchange between the inlet-port and the outlet-port.

  • Patent number: 10391621
    Abstract: The handheld power tool has a tool receptacle for accommodating a tool on a working axis (11) and an electric motor (5). A pneumatic percussion mechanism (6) has an exciter, which is moved back-and-forth by the motor (5) periodically in parallel to the working axis (11), a striker (14), which is movable on the working axis (11) and is coupled via a pneumatic spring (18) to the exciter, and an anvil (19), which is situated movably on the working axis (11) and is situated downstream from the striker (14) in the percussion direction (12). The anvil (19) has a cylindrical anvil section (22) having a diameter and multiple channels (30) extending over the entire length (31) of the anvil section (22). A cross-sectional area of the anvil section (22) is at most 5% less than a circular area defined by the diameter.

  • Patent number: 10293474
    Abstract: A rail has a guide surface on which the locking block is guided in a bearing manner between a position locking the bar, in which the toothed side engages in the toothed long side, and an unlocked position, in which the toothed side is not engaged with the toothed long side. A spring pretensions the locking block into the locking position. The guided side and/or the guide surface have a flank that is inclined with respect to the bar axis such that the locking block is forced in the direction of the bar in the event of a movement along the bar axis.

  • Patent number: 10058987
    Abstract: The hand-held power tool has a tool socket, a motor and a pneumatic striking mechanism. The striking mechanism has an exciter driven by the motor along a working axis, a striker coupled to the exciter via an air cushion, and an intermediate striker arranged between the striker and the tool socket in the striking direction. The striking mechanism also has a guide in which the intermediate striker is guided. The guide has a first sliding surface that guides a first section of the intermediate striker, and a second sliding surface that is arranged offset relative to the first sliding surface in the striking direction and that guides a second section of the intermediate striker. A radial dimension of the first section of the intermediate striker is greater than a radial dimension of the second section of the intermediate striker.

  • 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).

  • Publication number: 20160271779
    Abstract: A handheld machine tool is disclosed. The tool has a tool receiving area and a striking mechanism. The striking mechanism contains a striker, an exciter, and a pneumatic chamber. The striker strikes an intermediate striker at the strike point. The exciter is driven between a first dead center at a distance from the strike point and a second dead center in the vicinity of the strike point. A housing, which is encapsulated in an air-tight manner, has an interior which is closed by an exciter end face facing away from the striker. The interior is connected to the pneumatic chamber by a first valve which can be closed by the striker and by a second valve which can be closed by the exciter. The first valve is arranged in the vicinity of the strike point and the second valve is arranged in the vicinity of the first dead center.

  • 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.
