Patent number: 11440174Abstract: A hand-held power tool, in particular an angle grinder, includes a drive unit, a machine housing, and a user interface unit. The machine housing surrounds the drive unit. The drive unit is configured to transmit a motion to an output unit. The user interface unit is configured to operate the hand-held power tool, and is either (i) positioned on an inner element of the hand-held power tool, in particular a flat outer surface of the inner element, or (ii) connected to the inner element, in particular the flat outer surface of the inner element.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Achim Trick, Elmar Feder, Manfred Lutz, Peter Stierle, Thomas Schomisch

Patent number: 10586665Abstract: An electric power tool has a tool receptacle and a tool housing in which a drive motor for driving the tool receptacle is arranged. The drive motor is switchable on and off via an electric switch. An operating part for indirectly actuating the switch is arranged on the tool housing and extends approximately parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tool housing. The operating part is lever-like and is pivotably arranged on the tool housing. An actuating member of the switch is displaceable approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis by an actuating force that acts on the operating part approximately perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis. The drive motor is switched on by the actuating force acting on the operating part against a restoring force of the switch, and the drive motor is switched off automatically, via the restoring force, when the operating part is released by a user.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2015Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Florian Esenwein, Manfred Lutz, Achim Trick, Thomas Schomisch

Publication number: 20180193972Abstract: A battery-operated grinder, in particular an angle grinder, includes an electronically commutated electric motor and a working shaft. The electric motor is configured to act on a motor shaft. The motor shaft and the electric motor define a motor axis which is coaxial with the motor shaft. The working shaft carries a machining tool and defines a working axis which is coaxial with the working shaft. The motor axis and the working axis are arranged in a parallel manner, spaced apart from one another, and are connected together via a belt drive.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2016Publication date: July 12, 2018Inventors: Joachim Schadow, Florian Esenwein, Achim Trick, Manfred Lutz

Patent number: 9659720Abstract: A machine tool switching device, in particular for portable machine tools, includes at least one switching unit that has at least one movably mounted operating element for actuating a mechanical, electrical, and/or electronic switching element. The machine tool switching device further includes at least one blocking device for blocking at least one movement of the operating element. The blocking device includes at least one movably mounted release element provided to lift the blockage of the operating element. The release element is mounted on the operating element so as to be movable in a translatory manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2012Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Manfred Lutz, Achim Trick, Thomas Schomisch, Florian Esenwein

Patent number: 9527202Abstract: A hand-operated machine tool device, in particular for an angle grinder, includes a housing region and at least one operating element. The housing region is at least substantially rod-shaped and is configured to be used as a main gripping element. The at least one operating element extends in the housing region in a main extension direction of the housing region. The hand-operated machine tool device also has a least one mounting which supports at least one operating face of the at least one operating element such that the at least one operating element is configured to pivot about at least one axis aligned at least substantially parallel to the main extension direction.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2011Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Florian Esenwein, Manfred Lutz, Achim Trick, Thomas Schomisch
