  • Patent number: 9314912
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool is disclosed. The power tool has a linear motor with a rotor, an exciter piston that is coupled mechanically to the rotor, and a bearing device with a rotor mounting to support the longitudinal movement of the rotor and an exciter piston mounting to support the exciter piston. The rotor mounting and the exciter piston mounting form a three-point mounting, which is the sole bearing for the rotor and the exciter piston.

  • Patent number: 8635832
    Abstract: In an installation channel to be embedded into a curable construction material, e.g. concrete, having a support profile and preferably an attachment for attaching at least one add-on part to the installation channel, so that the outside of the support profile has a direct connection to the curable construction material at an embedding area, a potential fault block should be large so that large forces can be absorbed by the installation channel. A compressible insert is fastened to the outside of the support profile at the embedding area, so that part of the outside of the support profile is not in direct contact with the curable construction material at the embedding area.
