  • Patent number: 11117250
    Abstract: A machine tool includes a tool holder and a pneumatic striking mechanism that includes, on a working axis, an exciter piston, a beater, and a pneumatic chamber disposed between the exciter piston and the beater. The exciter piston is drivable by the motor and includes a pot-shaped base body, a seal ring, and a tube-shaped cladding body. The pot-shaped base body has a lateral wall enclosing the working axis and a collar which protrudes in a radial direction. The tube-shaped cladding body is disposed on the pot-shaped base body surrounding the lateral wall. A groove is defined between the collar and the tube-shaped cladding body and the seal ring is disposed in the groove.

  • Patent number: 10566778
    Abstract: A line penetration for routing a line through a building part. The line penetration includes a first lamellar element with a hollow-cylindrical first base part for receiving the line in a straight-through line opening, and with first circumferential lamellas, which extend outwardly transverse to an axial direction of the first base part; a second lamellar element with a hollow-cylindrical second base part for arrangement in a passage opening of the building part, and with second circumferential lamellas, which extend inwardly transverse to an axial direction of the line opening, where the first and second lamellas mesh with one another in the manner of a comb, so that the side faces of the lamellas are impermeable to gas and bear slidingly on one another.
