Publication number: 20250033181Abstract: An energy supply device is provided, in particular for a power tool, the energy supply device being detachably connectable to the power tool. The energy supply device includes at least one element for locking the energy supply device in the power tool, wherein the at least one locking element is mounted rotatably about at least one first axis of rotation, wherein the first axis of rotation runs through a pivot point of the at least one locking element. In this case, the pivot point of the locking element precedes a locking location in an insertion direction. The energy supply device has at least one element for actuation by a user, wherein the at least one actuating element is mounted rotatably about at least one second axis of rotation which runs through a pivot point of the actuating element. In this case, the pivot point of the at least one locking element can precede a locking location in an insertion direction. In a second aspect, the invention relates to a power tool having a energy supply device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Markus HARTMANN, Rory BRITZ, Markus HOLUBARSCH, David KLINGEN, Robert STANGER, Stefan SCHMID, Bernhard LIEBERT, Ali SCHAD, Uwe HAINKE

The energy supply device includes at least one element for locking the energy supply device in the power tool, wherein the at least one locking element is mounted rotatably about at least one first axis of rotation, wherein the first axis of rotation runs through a pivot point of the at least one locking element. The energy supply device includes at least one energy storage cell which has an internal resistance DCR_I of less than 10 milliohms (mOhm). In this case, the pivot point of the at least one locking element can precede a locking location in an insertion direction. A power tool having a energy supply device is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventors: Markus HARTMANN, Rory BRITZ, Markus HOLUBARSCH, David KLINGEN, Stefan SCHMID, Bernhard LIEBERT, Ali SCHAD, Robert STANGER, Uwe HAINKE

Publication number: 20240424658Abstract: A system including a power tool and an energy supply device, wherein the power tool can be detachably connected to the energy supply device via an interface. The interface has a base material with a first density and is designed in such a way that the interface allows a relative movement of the power tool and the energy supply device in an insertion direction and prevents a relative movement between the power tool and the energy supply device in the other spatial directions. The energy supply device has a first contact region with a first contact material and the power tool has a second contact region with a second contact material, wherein the first contact material and/or the second contact material have a second density, wherein the second density is greater than the first density of the base material of the interface. An energy supply device, and to a corresponding interface is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Markus HARTMANN, Bernhard LIEBERT, Stefan SCHMID, Markus HOLUBARSCH, Robert STANGER

Publication number: 20180207783Abstract: A portable power tool has an exciter piston guided along a movement axis in a guide tube and a striker coupled to the exciter piston. A connecting rod is fastened to a piston pin in the exciter piston and to an electric motor. A bearing for supporting the piston pin is formed by a piston head of the exciter piston and a closure plate inserted into the exciter piston. A rotary closure is formed by a groove, extending in a direction of rotation about the movement axis, in the piston wall and by a radially protruding fin on the closure plate. A detent for locking the fin counter to the direction of rotation is pivotable in the radial direction between a locking position and a releasing position. The detent is deflected beyond the external dimensions of the piston wall in the radial direction in the releasing position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2016Publication date: July 26, 2018Applicant: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Bernhard LIEBERT, Olaf KOCH, Jerome JAROMIN
