  • Publication number: 20180207783
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20080011592
    Abstract: A main handle for an electrically operated power tool and in which a grip (8) of a motor switch (10) and an actuating element serving to unlock a safety lock (16) are arranged on the main handle (6) of the electrically operated power tool (2), with the actuating element having an actuating portion (24) which is accessible from outside a tool housing (4), with the safety lock (16) blocking actuation of the motor switch (10) in its normal position with a blocking area (34) which is swivelable in a movement path of the grip (8), and being movable, upon actuation of the actuating element, into a release position in which the actuation of the motor switch (10) is unblocked, and with the actuating element being formed by a rotatably supported turning element (18) at which the blocking area (34) is formed.
