Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel-driven setting tool (10) for driving fastener elements such as nails, bolts, and pins into a substrate. The tool has a setting piston (13) guided in a piston guide (12) and displaceable using the combustion energy of a propellant and having a voltage source for supplying an electrical consumer on the setting tool (10). For improving a setting tool of this type, a generator device (30, 40) can be provided for transforming setting energy from the combustion of the propellant into electrical energy.

Abstract: A method and a device for hand-operated machine tools, particularly for hammer drills, for optimal cutting of different substrates by energy adaptation, wherein the machine tool, when turned on, is operated initially—preferably in a pre-selectable manner—in a first operating state (I) with reduced power consumption at reduced nominal voltage (e.g., 170 V). After a predetermined time period of 5 seconds, for example, a second operating state (II) with increased power consumption at full nominal voltage of, for example, 230 V, is switched to automatically. In the first operating state with reduced power consumption, the single-blow energy is reduced and/or the hammer rate and rotational speed are decreased. In particular, such a method and device ensures that cutting is carried out without damage in the case of hollow block material and a precise tap-drilling is ensured in the case of solid material.

Abstract: A cosmetic case having an opening which is covered by a hinged pivotable lid which can pivot from a position where the case opening is exposed, to a position where the lid completely covers the opening and provides a sealed enclosure for cosmetics. A two part latching apparatus attached to the lid and case automatically latches the two together whenever the lid is closed. This two part latching apparatus utilizes complementary latching members which mate with and automatically engage each other.

Abstract: A housing havinga bottom (3) provided with a wall (6) cylindrical with respect to an axis (7);a cover (4) provided with a cylindrical wall (14);a hinge (20) about an axis (21);complementary portions (25, 26) for locking the bottom (3) and the cover (4),in which it has male (31) and female (32) parts extending in the direction of the axis (21); connected to the bottom (3), to the cover (4); the female part (32) having an end opening (33) allowing for the engagement of the male part (31); the female part (32) having the general shape of an arc of a circle centred on the main axis,the male and female parts (31, 32) occupying an engaged or disengaged position; the passage from one to the other being achieved through the pivoting of the cover (4) about the axis (7).

The flaps (6) are arranged to pivot away from each other in the course of opening the cover (1) and to pivot toward each other in the course of closing the cover (1).
