  • Patent number: 7306049
    Abstract: A gear wheel is rotatably mounted on a drive shaft. The drive shaft has a plurality of longitudinal splines formed thereon. A drive sleeve surrounds the drive shaft and has a plurality of the inner splines formed on its interior surface. The inner splines slidably intermesh with outer splines of the drive shaft such that the drive sleeve can slide up and down on but cannot rotate relative to the drive shaft. A coil spring biases the drive sleeve downwardly. Drive sleeve teeth are formed around the bottom edge of the drive sleeve. Corresponding gear plate teeth are formed on the upper surface of the gear wheel and are adapted to engage the drive sleeve teeth when the drive sleeve is in its downward most position under the influence of the coil spring. In this position, the gear wheel is operatively coupled to the drive shaft.

  • Publication number: 20070065316
    Abstract: A pump for ponds, aquariums or similar facilities has a synchronous motor arranged within a motor housing. The motor has a permanent-magnet rotor and a stator, wherein the rotor is separated from the stator by an inner wall of the motor housing. A housing part is provided that forms a flow channel. The pump has a removable mounting flange for rotatably securing the rotor. The housing part is detachably mounted on the flange by a fastening device. The mounting flange seals a can forming the inner wall relative to the remaining motor housing and secures a bearing bracket serving for supporting the rotor.

  • Publication number: 20060137889
    Abstract: A rotary hammer includes a motor with an output shaft and pinion. The pinion drives a gear which is mounted to a drive shaft. A crank plate having an eccentrically disposed crank pin is mounted to the top of the drive shaft. A crank arm is pivotally connected to the crank pin and to the underside of a hollow piston. Hollow piston defines an internal bore, and the hollow piston is slidably mounted on two guide rods. Rotation of the drive shaft and turns the crank plate, and the eccentric motion of crank pin drives the crank arm. Due to the pivotal connection between the crank arm and the hollow piston 44, the hollow piston is caused to reciprocate back and forth along the guide rods.

  • Patent number: 6805206
    Abstract: A hammer is provided which enables the orientation of a tool or bit mounted within a spindle of the hammer to be rotated to the required orientation. The hammer comprises a housing part having an aperture therein in which a spindle that is mounted so that the spindle extends out of the housing through the aperture. The spindle is capable of being rotated about its axis to any of a plurality of orientations, so as to alter the orientation of a tool or bit mounted therein. A locking ring is located around the spindle which locking ring can be moved axially along the spindle into and out of engagement with the housing part, so that when the locking ring engages the housing, it prevents the spindle from rotating with respect to the housing. A grip ring is located around the spindle and can be rotated about the axis of the spindle from a first position in which it prevents disengagement of the locking ring from the housing.

  • Patent number: 6763897
    Abstract: A hand held electrically powered hammer comprises a housing, a motor, and a hollow spindle. A piston and a ram are located for reciprocation within the spindle. A casing encloses at least part of the spindle so as to define a chamber between the spindle and the casing. A damping mass is slideably supported by a spacer and is located within the chamber and is connected to the hammer housing via a spring so as to oscillate back and forth along the spindle to minimize the vibration of the hammer housing and also so as to generate air flows within the chamber for facilitating heat transfer from the spindle to the metal casing.
