  • Patent number: 11969911
    Abstract: A tool device for a hand-held power tool, which can be operated such that the tool device is rotated about an output shaft of a tool-holding device, has at least one connecting device, which is detachably connected to an output shaft of the power tool. The connecting device is fastened to the tool-holding device so that a drive axis of the output shaft and a tool axis of rotation substantially coincide. The connecting device has a cut-out and at least one clamping wing, which at least partly bounds the cut-out in the radial direction of the tool axis of rotation and which is bounded substantially in the direction radial to the tool axis of rotation by a first bounding edge, which lies on a first bounding circle around the tool axis of rotation. The clamping wing extends at least substantially along a plane orthogonal to the tool axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 11890720
    Abstract: A quick clamping device for a portable power tool includes at least one rotatably drivable output shaft, at least one clamping unit, at least one operating unit, and at least one uncoupling unit. The clamping unit, for tool-free fastening of an insert tool unit to the output shaft, includes at least one movably mounted clamping element for applying clamping force to the insert tool unit in a clamping position of the clamping element. The operating unit is configured to move the clamping element into the clamping position and/or into a release position of the clamping element. In the release position, the insert tool unit can be removed from the clamping unit. The at least one uncoupling unit is configured to uncouple the operating unit from the clamping unit in accordance with the rotational speed of the output shaft.

  • Patent number: 11607772
    Abstract: A quick clamping device for a portable machine tool includes at least one drive shaft, at least one clamping unit, and at least one operating unit. The clamping unit has, for tool-less fastening of an insertion tool on the drive shaft, at least one clamping element for exerting a clamping force on the insertion tool in a clamping position. The operating unit is configured to move the clamping element into a release position, and includes at least one operating element, in particular an operating lever. The operating element has at least one activation surface for movement of the clamping element into the release position. The activation surface is arranged such that at least one force initiation point of the operating element is movable, upon interaction with a contact surface of an actuating element of the operating unit, as a factor of movement of the operating element on the contact surface.

  • Publication number: 20210276146
    Abstract: A quick clamping device for a portable machine tool, in particular an angle grinder, includes at least one output shaft, at least one clamping unit, at least one operating unit, and at least one securing unit. The clamping unit, for the purpose of fixing an insert bit to the output shaft without using tools, includes at least one clamping element for applying a clamping force to the bit in a clamping position. The operating unit moves the clamping element into the clamping position and/or into a release position in which the insert bit can be removed from the clamping unit and/or the output shaft. The securing unit is designed to prevent movement of the clamping element from the clamping position into the release position at least under the action of a force decoupled from the operating unit and acting on the clamping element in the direction of the release position.
