  • Publication number: 20010042630
    Abstract: An electric hand tool apparatus (1) for driving a drill-like tool, which carries out an at least partial rotational movement, has within a housing (2), an electric motor (4) without or free of collector and slip ring, the rpm of which can be controlled by motor control electronics (3), wherein an rpm-dependent clutch (5) for transferring the torque is disposed in a force transfer path from the electric motor (4) to a transmission (6).

  • Patent number: 5954457
    Abstract: A motor-operated hand-held device (1), such as a drilling device, has a rotary spindle 6 located in and projecting out of a housing (2). Rotational movement of a driving motor (8) is transmitted to a tool (7) situated in an end of the rotary spindle (6). A safety device (11) within the housing (2) prevents deflection of the housing about an axis (A) of the rotary spindle (6) in the event the tool (7) becomes suddenly jammed. The safety device (11) can be activated by a detection device (12) if the tool becomes jammed. The safety device (11) is located inside the housing 2 adjacent to the rotary spindle (6) and is formed of at least two component parts which cooperate in frictional engagement in the event the device is activated. One of the component parts is connected to the housing (2) and the other is connected to the rotary spindle (6).
