  • Publication number: 20100269647
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for a hand-held machine tool, particularly a pistol-shaped hand-held machine tool, which includes at least one first auxiliary unit, and a coupling mechanism that is used for coupling the first auxiliary unit and the hand-held machine tool. An example of the invention includes a suction unit as the first auxiliary unit for collecting debris from a hand-held drilling tool. The system also provides for at least one additional auxiliary unit to be coupled to the held-held power tool by the coupling mechanism. An example of the invention includes an illuminating element as an additional auxiliary unit which can be coupled to the tool with the coupling mechanism so as to be interchangeable with the first auxiliary unit.

  • Publication number: 20100236804
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hand-held tool, in particular a rotary hammer, a percussion hammer, or a sabre saw. The hand-held tool is equipped with a drive unit and a stroke-generating element; the drive unit is embodied to move the stroke-generating element in a reciprocating fashion along a translation axis. The hand-held tool has at least one counterweight; the counterweight is operatively connected to the drive unit in such a way that it is possible to at least partially compensate for forces at least indirectly caused by the reciprocating motion. According to the invention, the counterweight in the hand-held tool is supported so that it is able to move, in particular to reciprocate, coaxial or parallel to the translation axis.

  • Publication number: 20100038104
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hand-held machine tool for driving a bit which can be accommodated in a tool holder, with a rotary and/or hammer action. The machine tool includes a drive train which has a drive side associated with a drive unit and a driven side associated with the tool holder. According to the invention, the hand-held machine tool has at least one decoupling unit that is used to form a rotationally elastic coupling between the drive side and the driven side.

  • Patent number: 7518281
    Abstract: An electric motor includes carbon brushes (5) disposed in a holder (6) that are pressed by means of a spring force (7) in a radial direction against a jacket face of a cylindrical collector (4) that is fixed to an armature shaft (2) of the motor. The holder (6) for the carbon brushes (5) can be removed from the motor with little effort as a result of a provision of covering means (11, 12) that cover a pivot bearing (3) of the armature shaft (2) to protect it against the entry of dirt on a side of the covering means (11, 12) facing the holder (6) for the carbon brushes (5), provided with one or more chamfers (14, 15) in such a way that the carbon brushes (5) slide over the covering means (11, 12) as the holder (6) is being pulled off and that the carbon brushes (5) thereby are thrust radially outward counter to the spring force (7).

  • Publication number: 20070110530
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a fitting device for a machine tool (10) with a tool holder (17), in particular for a hand-guided machine tool, for receiving insertion tools. It is provided that the tool holder (17) forms a releasable sliding fit (18) with a driving tube (16). A tool holder (16) is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20060087196
    Abstract: The carbon brushes (5) disposed in the holder (6) are pressed by means of spring force (7) in the radial direction against the jacket face of a cylindrical collector (4) that is fixed to the armature shaft (2) of the motor. The holder (6) for the carbon brushes (5) can be removed from the motor with little effort as a result of the provision that means (11, 12), which cover the pivot bearing (3) of the armature shaft (2) to protect it against the entry of dirt, are provided, on their side toward the holder (6) with the carbon brushes (5), with one or more chamfers (14, 15) extending such that as the holder (6) is being pulled off the carbon brushes (5) slide over them and in the process are thrust radially outward counter to the spring force (7).

  • Publication number: 20050224243
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool receptacle for a hand power tool, in particular for a drill hammer, having a receiving opening (12) for receiving a tool shaft (14) and having a hammering bolt (16), and the tool shaft (14) and/or the hammering bolt (16) has a ready position located between an idling position and a hammering position, and having a lubricant opening (56) for delivering lubricant, which lubricant opening is fixed relative to the hammering bolt (16), and having a lubricant valve (16, 56) with a variable valve position for metering lubricant. It is proposed that the valve position of the lubricant valve (16, 56) be dependent on the ready position of the hammering bolt (16) and/or of the tool shaft (14), between the idling position and the hammering position.
